    Coming to Philly this weekend for a wedding and staying near Lehigh for most of the time. Any good breweries I need to hit while visiting?

    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Weyerbacher is the only brewery nearby to visit, but check their hours before you go. Some decent bars near Lehigh would include the Bookstore and McGradys. The Bookstore is small and pricey but they do get some rare beers. McGrady's has decent bar food and 50 or so beers on tap, usually a pretty good selection but nothing to rare or unusual. If you are coming near Philly, Tired Hands is the place to check out.

    Fegley's Brew Works is in Bethlehem. Some of their limited release stuff is pretty good, and I am a bigger fan than most of their "Triple" IPA http://www.thebrewworks.com/

    Funk Brewing is a newer place with a taproom. It's in Emmaus, which isn't too far. http://funkbrewing.com/taproom/

    HiJinx is in Allentown. Haven't been to their tasting room yest, but have tried several of their beers and they've been pretty good.

    Only got to go to Fegley's Bethlehem, which was quite a fun place. Thanks for the suggestions. Wish I had more time. Next visit!
