A YAH Brew and a Schmidt’s Sausage (with Kraut)

A YAH Brew and a Schmidt’s Sausage (with Kraut) at the Fuzzy Few Festival

This delight was enjoyed Saturday August 17th, the last day of the Fuzzy Few Festival in Hummelstown, PA.  This event has morphed since it’s inception over 55 years ago.  It felt like much more of a community supporting community.  (See our Instagram post from the Fuzzy Few Festival.)

I also spent every single night with an Alzheimer’s Association table setup.  I shared information and resources for those who shared concern or were going through a situation involving dementia or Alzheimer’s impacting their lives.  We also invited folks to join us at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s event on Saturday November 2, 2024 at City Island. (Walk to End Alzheimer’s – Harrisburg Area Walk.)

The Fuzzy Few Festival ran from August 12th until August 17.  Most evenings the crowd walking around to play games and connect with local organizations died down by 9pm.  Most everyone had pulled up a lawn chair and was enjoying the free nightly concert.  A free event for the community is a gem to find. (See our article on the Fuzzy Few Festival 2024.)

With a wonderful donation from Troeg’s beer (last year, in 2023 – the Fuzzy Few Festival had the beer garden located inside the basketball court’s caged in area) it was nice to see a “beer garden” not far from where concert goers were enjoying their evening.  I mean if a community event is fundraising and providing free entertainment, why isn’t it busier here?

There still seems to be a stir amongst some former supporters of the carnival.  The move from out of state rides and game providers to come into our town seems to be the main complaint.  Although the need for volunteers is always so imperative and more dire.

(Volunteer for the Fuzzy Few Organization.)

YAH Brew continues to be a community supporter. With events like the “Benefit for CJ” and several collaboration beers to benefit local nonprofits. It would be great to see many more communities supporting communities. I can guarantee I’ll be continuing to support YAH Brew and Schmidt’s Sausage; and definitely the Fuzzy Few Organization. (Shout out to Justin for dropping the beer off to me on Saturday night. Megan and Dr. Barisch were hanging out at the Alzheimer’s tent with me, discussing the Bicycle Criterium in Hummelstown, and I sent them over to Justin to talk about Hummelstown and to enjoy YAH Beers.)

Fuzzy Few Festival

(Editor Ben piping up here)

The Fuzzy Few Festival was another fun year. Amy and her mom worked dueling stands / tents at the event. Amy had an informational booth for the Alzheimer’s Association, while Grandma SueAnn had a stand selling magnets with the donations and money raised going to the Walk to End ALZ events.

I helped set up with Amy on Sunday morning before work (Sunday the 11th). Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I was able to attend the event, mostly to help keep an eye on Scarlet (who loved running around, and especially loved playing in the Duck game’s water).

Two of my older daughters got to come and hang out with us on Thursday and absolutely cleaned house at the dime pitch. (We landed the Appalachian Brewing growler, but with no cap, and no real interest in growlers anymore, we let another lay claim to it).

All in all it was an absolutely fantastic event. My parents had a good time when they visited (my dad enjoyed getting to see the final performance of Pentagon), Grandma SueAnn said she sold a good number of magnets, and Amy got to help provide people with critical information about the Alzheimer’s Association.

Grilling and Beer’ing https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/07/17/grilling-and-beering/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=grilling-and-beering Wed, 17 Jul 2024 18:58:27 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15301

Ben grilling hot dogs for his daughters and drinking Blackbird by Martin House Brewing Company (an old beer review)

A follow up to my column just the other day – but what is your favorite item to grill and beer to wash it down with?

Here are some recommended combinations!

Recommended Beers and and Grills

The go to grill favorites is the hamburger and the hot dog!

Gemballa by YAH Brew

Starting with the classic Hot dog you should stick to a lager or Hefe.  These will balance nicely with the saltiness of a hot dog. We would recommend the Gemballa from YAH Brew. Their lager never disappoints.  It comes in with a 4.6 ABV and goes down easily.

 

(Gemballa – YAH Brew)

The second classic to pair with a Hamburger would be a pale ale or depending in spiciness at wit beer.  Depending on the burger a richness in flavor will pair perfect with a lighter beer.  Especially thinking you’ll be outside enjoying this delight.  We are reaching for the Sunshine-N-Bananas by Sworn Brewing company.  It is the perfect Hefeweizen.  It is also refreshing on a hot day like today!

(Sunshine – N – Bananas – Sworn Brewing)

I am the kind of girl that likes to have cheese on her burger.  Depending on the type of cheese you use you won’t be changing the palate all that much.  You can stick with the same as the hamburger or try the Two Brewers American IPA by Lydian Stone Brewing Company.

Two Brewers by Lydian Stone Brewing

(Two Brewers – Lydian Stone Brewing)

Gordon Ramsay – STOP

I can’t help myself, but I need to grill some onions too.  Now if you can get the onions to caramelize.  God help me I feel like I am turning into Gordan Ramsey. Cheeseburger with grilled onions would rock with an amber lager. The malty sweetness can complement the caramelized onions perfectly.  It would go perfectly with Sweater Weather by Liquid Noise Brewing company.  This Brown ale was everything I hoped it would be and more.  It comes in at a 5.5 ABV and also compliments those caramel coconut girl scout cookies well too!

And since we have grilled onions let’s pair a beer with a grilled sausage. (Or as Amy likes to call it – SAUSEEEEEEEEEEGE)  (I pulled back from deciding on using a Ramsay Bolton sausage .gif here… I think we might all agree its best not to have that imagery in our heads.)

(Stick Head Pils – Boneshire Brew Works)

Stick Head Pils by Boneshire Brew Works

A sausage will pair with a dry pilsner.  There are so many kinds of sausage but if you go with a regular Italian sausage a dry pilsner will bring out those Italian flavors.  We would recommend a STICK HEAD PILS Pilsner by Boneshire Brew Works.  I must warn you this pilsner is very crushable but at 5.5 ABV it isn’t too scary.

What Are You Grilling and Beer’ing?

I’d love to hear what other grilling and beer combinations you try out. Let us know what you’re grilling and what beer you’re having with it!

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!

Benefit for CJ (YAH Brew) https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/06/30/benet-for-cj-yah-brew/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=benet-for-cj-yah-brew Mon, 01 Jul 2024 01:45:24 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15214

Benefit for CJ Flyer

Benefit for CJ at YAH Brew (Hershey)

 

The Benefit for CJ Facebook Event

Quick shout out links:

CJ Corbin

On June 22 CJ Corbin was in a bad accident.  The other driver ran a red light and hit CJ while driving his motorcycle.  The other driver is only getting charged with a traffic violation but that is another story for another time.  CJ has lost part of a leg because of this accident.

My next question is how can I help?  No matter what the situation I think to myself; what am I capable of doing to change this terrible outcome?  I feel this is where my passion for working for a nonprofit comes from. One thing that has me obsessed with the brewery community is the unwavering support your local breweries support the community.

It reminded me of all the support and help for the Hemauer family – Helping the Hemauer Family.

(See our Instagram from the other day for pictures of when we were at YAH Brew to drop off the raffle basket on Thursday night.)

Benefit for CJ

The Callahan Kolsch from YAH Brew (100% of proceeds went to CJ)

This is a brewery community.  It was no surprise that YAH Brew was going to be holding a fundraiser for CJ, also part of their kitchen staff.  The event was held on Sunday June 30th from 3 pm – 8 PM.

While attending the event we overheard friends of CJ’s worrying about how he is handling this.  What I can gather; from looking around in the short time I was at the brewery; is that CJ has a very large community rallying behind him.

According to the YAH Brew Facebook page Performance Foodservice donated over 20 lbs of brisket, rolls slaw and BBQ Sauce.  100% of the sales of that food would go to CJ.  The food was sold out by the time we got there at 6:20 PM.

The basket Grandma SueAnn made for the silent auction.

There was a monumental feeling of support in the air as we enjoyed our beers.  Our own Grandma SueAnn put together a silent auction basket to help out the cause.  They had several silent auction items all from other local breweries and businesses.

There is a Go Fund Me Page to help with CJ’s care – GoFundMe: Support for CJames’ Recovery (PennLive’s Article about CJ’s Crash). The goal has been increased on the page since they have surpassed the goal and as of the time of writing this article is over $13k.

Baskets for the silent auction at YAH Brew for the Benefit CJ event.

We got a strong feeling that this may be the first of other fundraisers for CJ.  If it involves the love I felt for the community this evening, count us in!

Drink More Beer!

Amy

Wrap Up

Editor Ben notes: After the event ended, and the clean up began, we got to talking with Justin and Aimee about CJ, the event, how their Mount Joy location is doing, how their all doing with all the stresses and headaches and everything going on, as well as Hummelstown happenings, and so much more. With just ball park numbers, and not getting the exact specifics and everything, but from the various forms of donations tonight – food purchases, straight up cash donations, the silent auction purchases, tips to the guest bartenders, as well as the sales of The Callahan Kolsch; they raised roughly over 7,000$ today for CJ. As well as whatever was also donated via his GoFundMe page which there was QR codes for at the brewery.

All in all, the event was a complete and total success. Justin did also mention that The 1762 Tavern at The Warwick Hotel will likely be doing a fundraising event in the near future for CJ as well, with 20% of all sales during that event (or that day) will be going towards CJ’s medical bills.

The outpouring of support from the community has been incredible, with baskets for the silent auctions coming in from friends and family, as well as breweries such as Troegs Independent Brewing, Lancaster Brewing Company, BierHall Brewery, and more.

Beers We Enjoyed

We both of course immediately got The Callahan Kolsch (20 oz) to start off the evening. While they wrapped up the silent auction, I walked down to Jersey Mike’s to grab a cheesesteak for us to enjoy while having the beers, and then once I got back, we got another round of beers. Amy got a second Kolsch, while I got the Go, Ninja, Go! collab that YAH Brew did with Country Club Brewing and Weathered Souls Brewing (the stout I wanted to try at their Mount Joy soft opening but was unable to).

YAH Brew Looking to Expand https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/03/03/yah-brew-looking-to-expand/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=yah-brew-looking-to-expand Sun, 03 Mar 2024 21:40:31 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=14723 YAH Brew is Looking to Expand… but to where? Maybe Lancaster?

YAH Brew is Looking to Expand… but to where? Maybe Lancaster?

Its looking like YAH Brew is going to be expanding in the near future. All they’ve posted is this little ‘teaser’ or ‘hint’. A picture and a small blurb of text. It looks like it might be Lancaster where they are expanding to next. It makes some sense. Head brewer for YAH Brew – Justin – used to be the head brewer for Tattered Flag; Tattered Flag also had a location in Lancaster (their Barrel House – near the Grand Station); its a new location and a bit distant but still close to their main headquarters in Hershey and where they brew (Hummelstown), and Justin also has ties to the area having previously worked for Spring House and being from Mount Joy.

The Announcement

On this day a year ago we were excited to announce that we would be opening our downtown Hershey location.
Thanks to the support of all of you wonderful folks, the need for a more efficient production space became apparent rather quickly. We found a space to move the brewery and thought “We should probably add a taproom & kitchen here too”…
Stay tuned for a very exciting announcement 🍻

YAH BREW – Facebook Post

When more information is provided, we’ll either update or do a follow up article about their expansion plans.

Embracing the Dark Side: A Guide to Stout Season https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/01/30/embracing-the-dark-side-a-guide-to-stout-season/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=embracing-the-dark-side-a-guide-to-stout-season Tue, 30 Jan 2024 11:22:51 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=14381

Embracing the Dark Side: A Guide to Stout Season

As the leaves turn and the air chills, beer enthusiasts know it’s time to embrace the darker, richer, and more complex flavors of stout season. This beloved time of year is when breweries release their most anticipated stouts, ranging from the robust and creamy to the bold and barrel-aged. In this guide, we’ll explore the allure of stout season, highlight key styles to seek out, and share tips on how to get the most out of these darker brews. Whether you’re a stout aficionado or a curious newcomer, prepare to be enveloped by the warm embrace of stout season.

The Allure of Stout Season:

Stout season unofficially begins in late fall and stretches through the winter months, offering a comforting counterpoint to the colder weather. This is when the depth and complexity of stouts truly shine, providing a sensory experience that is both warming and satisfying. Breweries often use this time to showcase their creativity, experimenting with aging processes, ingredients, and blending techniques to produce flavors that range from sweet and velvety to smoky and bitter.

Key Stout Styles to Explore:

  1. Imperial Stout: Known for its high ABV and intense flavors, the imperial stout is a staple of stout season. Look for variants aged in bourbon, rum, or whiskey barrels for added complexity.
  2. Oatmeal Stout: Creamier and smoother than other stouts, oatmeal stouts offer a gentle sweetness and a silky mouthfeel, making them incredibly approachable.
  3. Milk Stout: Also known as sweet stouts, milk stouts are brewed with lactose sugar, which yeast cannot ferment, resulting in a sweeter, fuller-bodied beer.
  4. Coffee Stout: Perfect for coffee lovers, these stouts incorporate coffee beans at various stages of the brewing process, offering a delightful marriage of coffee and malt flavors.
  5. Pastry Stout: A newer trend, pastry stouts are inspired by desserts and often feature chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, and other confectionery flavors.

Tips for Enjoying Stout Season:

  • Pair Wisely: Stouts pair excellently with rich foods and desserts. Try them with chocolate cake, aged cheeses, or hearty stews to enhance the flavors.
  • Serve at the Right Temperature: Unlike lighter beers, stouts should be served at a slightly warmer temperature (around 50-55°F) to fully appreciate their depth and complexity.
  • Explore Local Breweries: Many craft breweries release limited-edition stouts during stout season. Visiting local breweries can provide a unique opportunity to sample exclusive offerings.
  • Host a Tasting Event: Gather friends and host a stout tasting event. It’s a fun way to explore different styles and share the experience with others.

Conclusion:

Stout season is a time to explore the rich and diverse world of dark beers, offering an opportunity to savor flavors that are as complex as they are comforting. By seeking out different styles, pairing them thoughtfully with food, and sharing the experience with friends, you can fully embrace the dark side of beer. So, as the nights grow longer and the temperatures drop, remember that it’s not just the cold that’s setting in—it’s stout season, and it’s time to celebrate the depth, warmth, and richness it brings to the craft beer community.

YAH Brew and Desserts Pairing https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/12/13/yah-brew-and-desserts-pairing/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=yah-brew-and-desserts-pairing Thu, 14 Dec 2023 01:40:40 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=13268 Cupcake and Beer

A dessert pairing with a fresh beer, it feels like my Christmas present already arrived.  Ben and I decided a quick date night was in order.  As soon, as you walk in the door you feel like the 90s theme of YAH Brew was successfully switched over to a 90s theme Christmas Brewery. They completed the transition with a Gingerbread stout by YAH Brew and paired it with a Gingerbread cupcake from Desserts Etc.

The Gingerbread stout, Santa’s Bake, is described on Facebook as “a Gingerbread stout with Flavors or gingerbread, spices, vanilla and cream cheese frosting”. The Gingerbread Stout starts off with a light gingerbread flavor, the thickness of the stout comes in and then it feels like you dive into one last kick of gingerbread so you don’t forget it. 

Santa’s Bake comes in on Untapped with a 6% ABV and it has an overall rating of 4.08. 

The sweet cream cheese frosting, soft gingerbread cookie and soft gingerbread flavor cupcake are the perfect complement to this thick milk stout.  I knew right away Grandma SueAnn would love this stout.  I hope you remember me explaining we weren’t just pumpkin spice loving gals, we love all the seasonal flavors! I made sure to take a Crowler home to Grandma SueAnn. 

While at YAH Brew enjoying this paring with my Boo, we had to also have something a little savory.  We tried out the Nachos and added the smoked pork.  This was an incredibly good choice to balance out the sweetness from the stout and cupcake.  The beer cheese in the nachos or maybe it was the pico de gallo had just a touch of spice that was the perfect balance. 

Nachos and Imprint’s Dream Bars

We also split the Bourbon Barrel Aged 5ifth Anniversary Dream bars by Imprint Beer Co.  This pastry stout was like a dream.  It went along well with all the other tasty selections we were enjoying. 

Then, to finish off Ben ordered the Gushee: Creepy Crawler.  I thought all my food/drink aversions where over after my pregnancy.  But just the thought of this one makes me gag.  Seriously, as I am writing this my visceral reaction is to vomit.  It was greatly upsetting as I was still polishing off those nachos when the drink arrived.  I was never the type of girl to be like that.  Your girl knew how to take a shot down the hatch.

YAH Brew’s crowler.

We noticed the crowler label as I watched Ben finish off the Gushee; adoptable pets from the Humane Society.  Any business that supports a non profit will always have my business.  Not only do I get to bop my head to tunes that remind me of being a teenager, but I feel good when it helps supports my community.  YAH Brew might be one of our fav breweries, especially for a date night.

Happy Father’s Day https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/06/18/happy-fathers-day/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=happy-fathers-day Mon, 19 Jun 2023 01:21:46 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=11721
Happy Father’s Day Everyone!

Happy Father’s Day

I hope everyone gets to spend some quality time with their father or a father figure in their life.  I happened to find a good one for my daughter.  Ben loves to be able to be the one to tuck Scarlet into bed each night and tell her how much he loves her. 

I grew up with a dad that worked hard to provide for the family and made sure to tell me I was loved.  He taught me how to ride a bike and how to drive a car.  Most importantly he taught me not to take crap from anyone.  He spent endless hours teaching me how to pitch in softball and practice soccer.  It’s a shame that man doesn’t exist anymore.

Ben wasn’t quite ready for the picture, but still. Happy Father’s Day from the Full Pint and the Half Pint

Breakfast Brunch

When I thought of what I wanted to do for Ben, besides a present, I immediately thought we’d take him out for breakfast.  It’s our favorite meal to eat out.  My very first thought was it must be Sunday Brunch at YAH Brew. 

Before even getting there, I knew we’d order the Breakfast Tots.  I’ve been dreaming of them since last visit (It Was All a Dream – Our Visit to YAH Brew)  but I still wanted to try something else.  Bacon breakfast tacos were a solid choice.  Neither one of these disappointed us and we enjoyed every morsel. 

Country Club Brewing’s “The Easton Assassin” and YAH Brew’s “Pup Pup Pass” (…and Scarlet’s Formula)

Both of these brunch choices perfectly complimented the Pup pup pass, a fruited sour inspired by the “liquid marijuana” cocktail, and the Country Club The Easton Assassin, an Imperial Stout.   The Pup pup pass is an 8% fruited sour that is deceiving with it’s very clear hue and the powerful fruit taste socks your tastebuds.  Also, conditioning on the rum soaked barrels gives it a bit of a boozy flavor. 

After we licked our fingers from the yummy brunch, we decided to finish by splitting an IPA together.  Mom’s Spaghetti is a 5.8% Mid west style IPA.  It has a bit of green to the taste but it is every bit of your delicious Hazy IPA we all have been enjoying nonstop.  YAH Brew is always an excellent choice for a Sunday Brunch but it was even better to be able to celebrate Scarlet’s first Father’s Day with Ben!

A Great Father’s Day

We had to peace out quick to get ready for a family BBQ.  We got to celebrate Ben’s dad and Ben’s brother-in-law for Father’s Day!  Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s out there!

Drink More Beer!

YAH Brew Bar – Taps and iconic “BrewBoy” Menu Screen

All Set to Go – YAH Brew Announces Grand Opening

Its time to go, all things are set. After about a month of having their soft opening, its time for YAH Brew to have their grand opening. We (Amy, Scarlet, and I) were there yesterday, and I got to talk to Justin a little (see Amy’s article here: Ready To Kick Off The Summer) and he told me that they were just about to announce their grand opening – and here it is.

YAH Brew Ready to Kick off the Summer

Coming in hot like the 90s, YAH Brew is going to be kicking off the summer with their grand opening starting this week – kicking off on Tuesday with 90s themed trivia. The biggest day of their grand opening will be Saturday – May 27th (2023). Coinciding with blink-182’s concert at Hershey Park Stadium they are calling it “Dammit Day” and the summer season will be in full swing!

And yes, we are pretty sure we know where your newest concert pre – game location is going to be. (Hint its real close to Duck Donuts.)

Beers at YAH Brew yesterday

Their social media announcement just minutes ago:

To infinity & beyond!

It’s go time, and we are coming in hot! 🔥

This week will officially launch our grand opening. What does that entail?

The Taproom is now open every Tuesday from 5-10. DJ Hollywood will be hosting trivia with 90s themed rounds with a start time of 630. Seating is FCFS, no reservations

– Expanded seasonal hours; We will be open Wed-Sat at noon each day with food & bev. Open until 10p daily

– Sunday Brunch! Open every Sunday 9a-5p with a special menu showcasing our brunch bites, mimosa flights, & bloody marys

– Saturday, May 27th will be known as “Dammit Day” at YAH Brew as we celebrate blink-182 rocking the Hersheypark Stadium behind our taproom. We brewed up a very limited IPA for this occasion aptly named “Dammit”. This 6.9% Hazy IPA is hopped with 182oz per barrel of pungent Motueka for big lemon-lime citrus notes and a soft pillowy melon finish.

Available for in house pours only* 🤘

-Brewbuster enrollment opportunities will end Wednesday 5/31

YAH Brew – Facebook Post

Grand Opening – Be There or Be Square

Get all of your 90s jargon ready now, because its time for YAH Brew’s Grand Opening. This is a 90s themed micro brewery in downtown Hershey. (The former Tattered Flag Bar location near Duck Donuts on Governor Road / Rt 422.)

The following comes from our YAH Brew Opening Announcement article:

Justin Hoak and his wife Aimee Hoak started YAH Brew in May of 2022, getting production and legal rights and licensing as per the state. They have been touring brewfests ever since, brewfests cush as the Drink the Cookie Table brewfests in Pittsburgh (both last year’s and this year’s), as well as the Prototype Invitation Brewfest, Best Brunch Ever, the Hummelstown Winter Fling, and many others. They have done collaborations with lots of top notch breweries including Fourscore Beer Co.

Justin has previously worked as head brewer for Tattered Flag as well as helping out at Spring House Brewing and JoBoy’s Brewing. He is a good friend living just a few blocks away, and I know him and Aimee are throwing their all into the brewery. They have been working tirelessly on getting this up and running. Their beers are definitely not to be missed out on. If you’ve had some of the hazy IPAs, fruited sours, and seltzers from Tattered Flag in the past few years, as well as from YAH Brewing exactly, you’ll know what I mean.

The brewery is female owned, one of only a handful in Pennsylvania.

YAH Brew Coming to Hershey in Spring 2023 – The Beer Thrillers

This is big news for Justin and Aimee, and so happy for them getting to open this brewery. They have poured a lot of hard work into this (they were just at the Haze it Forward brewfest at Imprint Beer Co, Hatboro, on Saturday. They have been hard at work, and hitting the rounds getting this brewery up; despite several hurdles, including local township – Hummelstown.

(This Wednesday at the Town Hall meeting, they will hear Justin’s appeal to be able to continue producing the beer for YAH Brew at his location in Hummelstown.)
