The Beer Circle’s Eastern PA Brewery & Beer Nirvana Tour

February 29th, 2012 | 4 Comments | Written by

Date: March 31st, 2012

Come meet The Beer Circle on our first beer Tour. For this initial tour we are hitting some of the best breweries and restaurants between Harrisburg. We’ve left out Victory (not open for tours), Weyerbacher (too far off the path), and many others. There are enough places to do Central PA and North East PA Beer Tours later. This is a very low key get together. No snobbery, just a chance to meet some good people and enjoy good food & beer. If you follow our various social networks, you’ll be kept up to date with our location!

Schedule: Directions

11:00 AM – Meet at Al’s of Hampden for beer and lunch (45 minutes). Al’s has a great draft list and a good selection of singles & 6-packs for purchase.

11:45 –  30 min drive

12:15 PM – Troegs – Self-guided tour with beer from tasting room (1 hour ). They should be selling the latest in their Scratch series at the brewery in Hershey.

1:15 – 55min drive

2:10 – Stoudts – We’ll be there too early for the tour but we can enjoy some brewery-only selections!

3:10 – 1 hour drive

4:10 – Capone’s – Beer or two ( 1 hour )

5:10 – 35 min drive

5:45 – Monk’s Cafe – Dinner and beer

For those of you who will be coming up from the DC area, a stop at Stateline Liquors in Elkton, Delaware is a definite must. One of the best selections I’ve seen.

Simply put, Bob is a beer lover. He goes out of his way to try new beers whenever he can find them. The love of trying new beers had resulted in a beer label collection of over 1400. When it comes down to it, Bob is a hop head. He loves IPAs (including double and black). Stouts are a close second. His tweet reviews on @nova_beer are simple and approachable. Let him know what you think.

    I unfortunately won’t be able to make it– it’s my birthday weekend *gasp, the big 2-5*, and so I’ll have friends in from out of town. Thus continues my never having been to Philly, despite living in PA for 2.5 years. Some day. I know you guys are going to have a great time!

    I would be happy to help host any out of town people for this tour! Currently in Lancaster which falls right in the middle of it all. Feel free to contact me as it draws closer.
