Every summer I drive through PA to a family cabin near Martinsburg WV, where I can never find any decent craft. Could anyone recommend a good place to pull off along I-80, I-76, etc along my route from Chicago to WV? I know you guys in PA seem to get your hands on some amazing stuff, and I'd love to load up on my way there and back. Any recommendations / locations would be awesome and appreciated. Thank you!
If you are driving on I-80 if you go 30 miles north of 80 on 79 you can hit Voodoo's Brew pub in Meadville, it'd be a little out of your way but?
If he is going to WV, I'm going to assume he takes I-80 into Ohio, then the Turnpike 76 to Breezewood, then into Maryland and into West Virginia. Voodoo Brewery in homestead of would be closer (about 40 minutes south of the Cranberry Exit). If you get off the Turnpike at the Cranberry Twp Exit, there is a Giant Eagle with a pretty decent bottle shop, literally 10 seconds off the exit. And a whole Foods with a great bottle less than 10 minutes south. You could travel into the city (about 30 minutes out of your way), and hit up the Shadyside Giant eagle (the best bottle selection of all Giant Eagles around Pittsburgh). You could also exit the Turnpike in Ohio, and hit up Vintage Estates and chalet Premiere. Both are relatively short detours off the turnpike.
Yeah Duh. My bad......didn't even think of that direction. Was thinking 80 - 76 - breezewood. Forgot about getting it in Ohio.
Rock Stars, all of you! Yeah, I take 80 from Chicagoland through Indiana (right past 3Floyds), through Ohio, then 76 through Breezwood, into MD then WV. I've seen that you guys have some great craft that I can't get by me, so I'll stop at one of these places. Honest, I really appreciate the help! Thanks!
Stop in Ohio for some Jackie O's! There's a thread somewhere about grocery stores that typically carry some you can try to search for.
Jackie O's, huh?! I'll give it a try! I had the pleasure of Creeper at GABF last year, and I'm sipping a White Rajah a buddy gave me as I type. Ohio is bringing it! Thanks for the tip!
Hoppin Frog has an awesome Pub in Akron and they always have a ton of bottles available to go. The food is exceptional, as well. It is worth a stop if it is on your way.
