(The following is a press release.)

Tröegs Independent Brewing announces the return of 717 Collaboration Beer, a joint endeavor among the Hershey-based brewery and six other popular local breweries.

A collaborative effort between Appalachian Brewing, Boneshire Brew Works, Ever Grain Brewing, Pizza Boy Brewing, Wolf Brewing, Zeroday Brewing, and Troegs Independent Brewing, the beer serves as a reminder of the camaraderie that exists among breweries thanks to the thriving craft beer industry in Central Pennsylvania.

Some of the brightest ideas have been developed among sharing stories and laughs with friends over beer. Whether we’re Central PA natives or transplants, we’ve all come together in the 717 with one common goal – to brew great beer and cultivate great friendships.

– John Trogner, Co-founder of Troegs Independent Brewing, and head brewmaster for the 29 year old Central PA brewery – which opened in Harrisburg and then later moved to Hershey

The Resurrection of the 717 Collaboration Beer

As you can see from the team up photo above, the beer was created by Troegs Brewing, Appalachian Brewing, Boneshire Brew Works, Ever Grain Brewing, Pizza  Boy Brewing, Wolf Brewing, ZeroDay Brewing, and YAH Brew, created at the ZeroDay Brewing facility. Also in the picture includes various people from other breweries like Hemauer Brewing, YAH Brew, and helpers such as the Harris Family brewers, and more.

Brewed at Zeroday’s brewing facility in Harrisburg, the West Coast-style Pilsner weighs in at 6.3% ABV and highlights Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin, and Solero hops. The beer combines the light, malty and crisp attributes of a pilsner with the hop-forward aroma and dry bitterness of a West Coast-style IPA.

Collaboration brews are always fun. When you put seven breweries in the same place to come up with a recipe, you’re going to generate awesome conversation and ultimately come up with a great beer. It’s proof that beer brings people together, and this collaboration is a reminder of that spirit.

-Hannah Ison, Director of Brewing Operations at Zeroday

Distribution

All seven participating breweries will unveil the 717 Collaboration Beer on Thursday, July 17. The limited beer will be available exclusively on tap at each brewery’s tap room.

 

(Note: This is a press release. This beer’s release also comes on the heels of Appalachian Brewing Company announcing the closing of their Harrisburg Brewpub.)

There is Something About Those Back Patio Beers https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/07/14/there-is-something-about-those-back-patio-beers/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=there-is-something-about-those-back-patio-beers Mon, 15 Jul 2024 02:38:23 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15274

A collage of some of our recent Patio Beers (as seen on our Instagram page)

There is Something About Those Back Patio Beers

There is something about those out back patio beers.  Wait, it’s too damn hot out today for that.  We will be having this evening’s beer inside!

Henry Hill laughing in the Goodfellas

While I was pregnant with our daughter, Scarlet, Ben took his first crack at hardscaping a patio area off the back porch.  I’ll spare you the details, but it was a long daunting process that quickly got out of hand.  I mean, nothing goes as simply as you hope but, when it involves a large hole in the ground and 10 feet on concrete it gets crazy.  No, this isn’t the start of a mob movie!

You can understand when Ben finally finished the original plans for the patio, we were very grateful.  Even on humid evenings we have been grabbing some patio time with a beer since early in the year.  The little spot that was created to find peace and relaxation needs a beer to go with it.

(As always – you can check out our Instagram to see all of our beer pics, adventures, behind the scenes photos and videos, reels, memes, and links to some of our other articles and maps, hike pictures, board game pictures, and all kinds of things.)

The latest brews we have enjoyed together are Idiom Brewing out of the Blue on July 1, Heavy Seas Hazy Cannon and Tropicannon on July 1 , Idiom Brewing Emotional Rollercoaster July 4th, Last Thursday 11th Schnitz Ale Brewery Boozendorf ale.

Each time it feels like a major relief to relax outside with a well-crafted beer and finish out the day.  Especially being able to chat and vent about a stressful day with a friend or the love of your life.  The patio beer also counts if you are alone though. This is the beer that when you finish you feel refreshed.  Given the time of year patio beers are normally fruity or light.

No matter where you live or frequently hang out, grab yourself a “patio beer”, preferably from a local craft brewery and relax!

This wasn’t our patio but we did have beers in a “patio” at Boneshire this past Friday (The Beer Thrillers at Boneshire Brew Works – Instagram).

Ben had the AuZealand and I had the Flying Hawaiian.  And yes, we had these in the parking lot picnic table area.  It still counts as part of the patio beer discussion.  This isn’t like Cheers but each brewery we tend to write about should make you feel like you belong.  Like it’s your 3rd home.

We also enjoyed a patio beer at YAH Brew Kolsch for CJ June 30th  (Benefit for CJ) (The Beer Thrillers at YAH Brew – Instagram). It’s a small patio outside of Yah Brew but it continues that vibe of feeling welcome at the neighborhood watering hole.

Some of our other fav patio spots to have a beer: Sworn Brewing, Cold Spring Brewing Company , Wolf Brewing, Boneshire Brew Works, Ever Grain Brewing’s open patio area, Troegs Brewery’s patio and beer garden; and honestly there’s so many more – too many to even begin to list really! But here is some pictures from the different places.

Amy Out

Thank you for reading down our bit of memory lane and viewing some of our patio beer pics. Ben wants to do even more with the patio in the future, including building a paver based bar, as well as an outdoor brick oven (a pizza oven). He also wants to set a block up of cement to take the handprints of the girls as well as our dog Leela.

Thank you for joining us today, and make sure to join us on our Instagram page, please follow us on there, we are hoping to hit 1K followers by the end of summer!

Mechanicsburg Area Breweries https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/10/10/mechanicsburg-area-breweries/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=mechanicsburg-area-breweries Tue, 10 Oct 2023 16:56:43 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15252

A map of the Mechanicsburg (and surrounding) Area breweries.

Mechanicsburg Area Breweries

There are a lot of fantastic breweries in the Mechanicsburg area! And with the addition of Sworn Brewing – that list is only growing!

Here is Google Directions to take you from the greater Mechanicsburg area breweries (starting at Ever Grain Brewing Company): Google Maps – Greater Mechanicsburg Area Breweries. These directions will take you from Ever Grain Brewing Company to Mellow Mink Brewery to LoveDraft’s Brew Co to Appalachian Brewing Company (Mechanicsburg) to High Road Taproom to Sworn Brewing to Wolf Brewing to Hemauer Brewing and then ending at Marzoni’s Brick Over Pizza and Brewery and Isaac’s Craft Kitchen and Brewery. Total driving time is 53 minutes (at time of making the map). 16.3 miles of driving total.

Google Map Directions of Breweries in Mechanicsburg (starting with Ever Grain Brewing Company)

Map of Mechanicsburg Area Breweries

The following map shows breweries in the Mechanicsburg area. Breweries with the ‘beer mug’ are located in Mechanicsburg (although Ever Grain is listed as a Camp Hill location, it is just two blocks away from Mellow Mink which has a Mechanicsburg address, and Grateful Goat which is further east than both, also has a Mechanicsburg address – so I have included Ever Grain Brewing in with the Mechanicsburg breweries). Also included are breweries in very near by surrounding (West Shore) areas – such as Enola, Lemoyne, Camp Hill, etc.

The yellow pins are those without a Mechanicsburg address (not including Ever Grain which I placed in with the Mechanicsburg locations) – it also includes the Farmers Market (West Shore Farmers Market) which has a GearHouse Brewing stand.

A late addition to the list is Cold Springs Brewery; which has a Mechanicsburg address despite being south of Shepherdstown. (I was tempted to give this a separate pin color, but decided against it due to having a Mechanicsburg location still, and because it would be the only one of that nature).

How to Use the Map

You can zoom in, and click on each of the beer mugs with the paw prints on them to see the breweries. This will call up their address via Google Maps, as well as any other information they have supplied to Google (phone numbers, websites, etc.). You can also save this map to your Google Maps so when you call up Google Maps these locations will be pinned onto your map as an overlay.

Holiday Weekend and Bomber Bottles https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/07/02/holiday-weekend-and-bomber-bottles/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=holiday-weekend-and-bomber-bottles Mon, 03 Jul 2023 01:19:36 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=11862
Pastry Parkway – Cannoli (collaboration between Fourscore Beer Co. and Wolf Brewing Company)

Preparing for the Holiday Weekend

While mentally preparing for this long holiday weekend I stared at the collection of bomber bottles on top of my rolltop desk in my living room.  It feels like they are taking up lots of space and I just simply must decrease the number of bottles on top of my desk.  Holiday weekends are perfect for that. 

Bomber Quiz

[perfect_survey id=”11860″]

Bombs Away

I decided to crack into the Captain Precious from Alementary.  We picked up this one when we had to stop by since after having Scarlet.  We loved celebrating her birth by toasting one of our favs from them, Figgy Pudding. 

Figgy Pudding 2021 – Amy’s Push Present when Scarlet Emma was born (via our Instagram from 11.11.22)

When we posted on IG about her birth they graciously offered another bottle in celebration.  Captain Precious was another bottle we had to get on the way out the door. 

Captain Precocious by The Alementary

Captain Precious is a 12.5% Barleywine and the perfect way to kick off the holiday weekend and we paired it with some spicy tacos.  It has an average rating on Untapped at 3.90 and that is way too low for this quality Barleywine.  It is described on Untapped as “Marjie’s first beer!  This Barleywine is made with peanut butter and heaps of fresh blueberries and fermented with Kveik yeast for a touch of overripe tropical fruit. “The perfect mix of some peanut butter and blueberries it was delicious. (You can view our reel from Facebook about adding it to the taco meat and enjoying the delicious barleywine here – The Beer Thrillers on Facebook, Reels.)

Pastry Parkway – Cannoli

We then finished off the night with a stout we bought way before we got pregnant, two of the Pastry Stouts from the Pastry Parkway line from Fourscore Beer Co in Gettysburg. All four pastry stouts come in with a 15% ABV. Two of the four we got were the cannoli and the s’mores Cupcake.  The other two I wish I got my hands on were Blueberry Marshmallow Muffin and Chocolate Cherry Caramel Croissant.  The Pastry Parkway was a collab with Wolf Brewering Company in Mechanicsburg, PA and Fourscore Beer Company in Gettysburg, PA.

Pastry Parkway – S’mores Cupcake

We started with the Cannoli Pastry Stout and we decided to pair it with some chocolate peanut butter cup Turkey Hill ice cream.  It was a warm evening and I would be going for ice cream so we were lucky it was a delicious combo.  Then, as I sat down to write this, we cracked open the S’more Cupcake Pastry Stout and stole Ben’s Zebra cakes to go with it. 

I know feel accomplished getting a few things cleaned up around the house by decreasing the bomber stash.  I can’t wait for the next holiday weekend!  Happy Birthday America!

Some Explosive Good Beers

All of these – from the Figgy Pudding we had in honor of our child’s birth; to the Captain Precocious we had picked up at The Alementary (one of our favorite breweries), to the two Fourscore Beer Co and Wolf Brewing Company collabs (Pastry Parkway – Cannoli and Pastry Parkway – S’mores Cupcake) were “explosively good”. (See what I did there?)

So I have to ask you all again… how many bombers do you have sitting at home, cellaring in your basement, and waiting to be drank? (Don’t worry, despite polishing these off, we still have plenty more to go!)

Drink More Beer!

We are working on a massive project here at The Beer Thrillers. We are creating a map of all of the breweries across the United States. State by state we are adding maps of all of the different states with every brewery in each state. (We will eventually get to the US Territories, as well as the Canadian Provinces, and possibly more countries; as well as doing some fun maps like a map of all the breweries we’ve been to, and other fun maps.) You can find the brewery maps here:

We are also working on a project of creating printable and downloadable PDFs and resources to be able to check and keep track of all of the breweries you’ve been to. So stay tuned for that project once we are finished with the Brewery Maps of the US States.
