Beer trip 2 hour radius from Philly

how about Troegs in Hershey, PA?

 

Easton, PA. You have Weyerbacher, Sole, and Two Rivers all within a mile of eachother.

 

So you want to drive 2 hours to wait in line.
Go to Magnify on a Friday

 

Just did the Easton Route on Saturday, big fun, liked all three places. Sole has a separate side for growler/crowler fills, though if the place got busy, it could fill up fast. Really nice place, keeping in mind it is fairly new. The beers we had were very good, but I don't get the hype. Two Rivers is also a nice place. The Belgian Blonde had an unpleasant touch of DMS, but the Strong Golden was very good. They had a nice Stock Ale that most of the crew went for. We ate there, the food was excellent. Most everyone got burgers and raved about them. One of our party got the shrimp and grits and she inhaled them. We got to Weyerbacher about 40 minutes before they closed. A lot of beers on draft. I got something I think was called Brauheist, kind of a weizen doppelbock. Pretty much tossed me off the cliff. Place is set up for some serious drinking, but they closed at eight.
From there we hit up Funk and Yergey's in Emmaus then headed south for home.
I certainly didn't need the tripel I had for a nightcap at Tuned Up.

 

Go to second district in philly: sit, enjoy and talk about the beers. They have some solid bar food as well. Screw lines and trading at least to me the above would be what I prefer. Lots of unique and great beers on tap.

Forgot you could also go to crime and punishment. Same vibe there as well, and a cool menu. Reminds me of the brew cafe before the world knew about tired hands.

 

I would go to hidden river and load up on crowlers.

 

To go beer is a sometimes thing at Hidden River these days.

Plus there had been a limit on the crowlers, four I believe.

 

It's about 2.5 hours from Philly, but Burley Oak may be a good bet. They have been doing large Saturday releases w/ a tiered system to allow everyone to get something. You could also take Rt. 1 home and hit the new Dogfish Brewpub that just opened.

 

Yeah, this trip is awesome and one I do quite frequently. I love Burley Oak, and there is definitely some #linelife drinking and sharing going on. The new Dogfish Head pub is beautiful and has such a great selection of beers. Easily doable in a day, though I usually say screw it, let's grab a room in Rehoboth and continue the drinking.

 

if you leave at 3 in the morning.

 

Thursdays and Sundays brother.

 

Burley Oak rocks, love the little room with the barrel aged stuff. They were playing a show from the Dead's 72 Europe tour.
Combined with some fine barrel aged beers, it was heavenly.
