@AMW, if you provide the information of where you will be staying and how far you are willing to travel for beer I can better respond to your query. Cheers!
I'll mostly be in the Lansdale area. Will likely head to King of Prussia once, so if there's anything along that route. Also, may meet up with a friend in Media, PA so something along that route id also possible. Thanks!
There are a number of brewpubs in the Lansdale area but I personally do not have much familiarity there. I hate to be negative but... I would not recommend Crooked Eye. Hopefully others can provide more information here. There is a new brewery that just opened up a few months ago in King of Prussia of Workhorse. I would guess some BAs would not recommend them since they make a number of non-sexy beers like Vienna Lager, etc. but I think these beers are very good. If you are looking for sexy beers like 'NEIPA' maybe this place is not your 'cup of tea'? I personally would suggest a visit to Sterling Pig but there is an Iron Hill location in Media as well and I am a fan of Iron Hill so I would suggest that place as well. I hope that you have a nice visit to Montco and Delco! Cheers!
Levante , tiredhands , la cobra , and imprint are all great , definitely would say they are worth the trip without a doubt . There so many great bars , Tjs, the boathouse , flying pig , and fwot always have great beer . Not to mention pour house and city works .
Well Crafted in Lansdale is worth the stop, down towards Harleysville is Blueprint. A great beer bar/restaurant on the west side of Harleysville is Butcher and Barkeep.
Lansdale is not that far from Ambler, where Forest & Main is located. The bar is a cool little space to drink in, and their beers range from very good to excellent. I would imagine an Uber too-from would be reasonably priced and pretty quick. There is even regional rail that goes through both places, and on the Ambler side the station is only a 5 minute walk from F&M.
Imprint is the answer if you're going to be in Lansdale. Stop by CJ's Doghouse/Towamencin Beverage on your way there. Very cool spot
