Troegs & ABC (Gettysburg)

I haven't had a chance to try the snack bar yet, but I'm certainly confused by seeing Panera Bread and gourmet in the same sentence.

 

You should be able to find a 6pack of Two Hearted at the previously mentioned Brass Rail Deli - Give them a call to be sure.

 

The 'gourmet' term is used loosely here. Still very high quality food; things like slow cooked pit beef brisket and imported cheeses on the sandwiches, real roasted tomatoes in their tomato soup...etc... Definitely check it out if you can.

 

I wasn't disputing the term gourmet in regard to Troegs...Panera bread on the other hand...

 

When I'm in Gettysburg I always have lunch at the Farnsworth House. It's a great old building with excellent food and usually something tasty on tap. It's no beer bar, but they seem to usually have something from Tröegs.

 

ABC is okay, but it's more geared to newcomers to the craft world. Their beers are mostly sub-6%, conservatively hopped, with nothing too crazy or interesting beyond standard styles. The Harrisburg location is a lot nicer. I had fond memories of ABC from my college days, but I recently went to the new one in Collegeville and was very underwhelmed by both the food and beer, particularly since they took their delicious poutine off the menu (it's one of the very few places that actually uses cheese curds rather than melted shredded cheese or liquid nacho cheese).
