    Long haul at the end to get to Troegs. Very cool brewery but also will be very crowded. Many beers are easy to find on draft and in stores. The brewery is very cool though.

    Why ending up in Hershey? If possible, see if you can hit evergrain while in central PA. Was really impressed with them. Maybe 25 mins from Hershey. Id also say a stop for lunch in CT is possible. What route are you taking to go through Connecticut?

    If you leave a little late tomorrow, Prison City in Auburn, NY is on your way. Only had their stuff at BA festivals, but was impressed, and their IPA came in #1 on this pretty lengthy list: https://www.pastemagazine.com/artic...t-american-ipas-blind-tasted-and-ran.html?p=4

    Looks like it depends on traffic how much of a detour Tired Hands in Ardmore, PA would be on your last day. Was able to get out there from Philly about a month ago and was really impressed. Good food, too.

    I'm actually going to school in Baltimore so meeting a friend in Hershey at Troegs (I heard the food at the brewery is actually really good) before heading back to MD.

    Not sure about my route through CT yet. Might be meeting a friend for lunch in New Haven so probably be on 95 for a portion of it. I heard New England Beer Co is awesome but pretty sure it's closed on Tuesdays.

    troegs food is good for sure. Its a good stop, but it is usually very busy with limited parking. Def worth the stop though.

    New England isnt open on Tues, but there are spots in New Haven to eat and have good beers. Prime 16 is a great burger place with really good beer list and Cask Republic is just around the corner as two solid spots in New Haven.
    Beer Collective has some good chatter, but I unfortunately havent made it there yet.
    Hope you have a nice trip!
