(Please note this is a guest post written by carolinahempcafe.com with the Aperture Team. All information herein is provided by them.)

 

Walk into your local brewery and take a deep whiff – there’s a good chance that the citrusy haze, piney punch, or dank earthiness in the air doesn’t just come from hops.

Terpenes, the aromatic compounds responsible for the flavor and scent of both craft beer and cannabis, are the shared language of these two indulgences.

Whether you’re a hop head or a seasoned toker, understanding terpenes can reveal a vibrant intersection where the two meet.

Cannabis and Hop plant leaves

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are naturally occurring aromatic compounds found in many plants, but they’re especially concentrated in cannabis and hops, two close botanical cousins. These compounds give plants their distinct smells and contribute to their effects.

Linalool, for instance, lends lavender its calming scent. Pinene gives pine trees – and certain cannabis strains and hops – their sharp, woodsy aroma.

In cannabis, terpenes don’t just shape aroma and taste. They interact with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to produce what’s called the entourage effect, a phenomenon where compounds work synergistically to create a more balanced and beneficial overall experience.

Similarly, in beer, terpenes from hops influence not only aroma and taste, but also mouthfeel and even perceived bitterness.

The Cannabis–Craft Beer Connection

Hops (humulus lupulus) and cannabis (cannabis sativa) both belong to the Cannabaceae family, which explains their overlapping terpene profiles. In fact, some of the most prized hop varieties used in IPAs, such as Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe, are rich in the same terpenes found in top-shelf cannabis strains.

Here are a few examples of shared terpenes:

  • Myrcene: Found in both mangoes and cannabis, it gives a musky, herbal aroma. In beer, it contributes to earthy, slightly fruity notes.
  • Limonene: Bright and citrusy. In cannabis, it often appears in sativa strains and imparts uplifting effects. In beer, it sharpens up hazy IPAs and sour ales.
  • Caryophyllene: Spicy and peppery. This terpene binds to CB2 receptors in the body, giving it anti-inflammatory potential. In beer, it shows up in saisons and darker ales.
  • Pinene: As the name suggests, it smells like pine needles and is prominent in West Coast IPAs and strains like Jack Herer.

Terpene-Driven Pairings: Beer and Bud

Pairing cannabis and beer isn’t just about chasing a high or a buzz.

It’s about layering flavors, aromas, and even effects to create a fuller, more flavorful sensory experience.

Think of it like pairing wine with cheese or coffee with dessert – if you get it right, both elevate each other.

1. Citrusy IPA + Limonene-Dominant Pre-Roll

Try pairing a hazy, citrus-heavy IPA (like a New England-style IPA with Citra or Amarillo hops) with a limonene-rich strain such as Super Lemon Haze or Tangie. The citrusy zing of both the beer and bud harmonize beautifully, offering an uplifting, energetic vibe.

Try a THCA pre-roll with a citrus-forward profile from Carolina Hemp Cafe for the ultimate sunny afternoon combo.

2. Dank Double IPA + Myrcene Bomb

If you enjoy heavy-hitting flavor, a West Coast double IPA with notes of resin, pine, and funk will go hand-in-hand with a strong indica featuring high myrcene levels. These combos can be sedating, perfect for winding down in the evening.

3. Spiced Saison + Caryophyllene-Packed Bud

Saisons often feature spice and peppery notes, which match beautifully with cannabis strains rich in caryophyllene. This pairing has a culinary edge – think black pepper, cloves, and roasted herbs. Great for an early evening tasting session or pairing with grilled food.

4. Sour Ale + Floral or Herbal Strain

Sour beers, especially fruited sours and goses, work well with lighter, more floral cannabis strains that won’t overwhelm the delicate tartness. Look for strains like Lavender or Jack Herer and a gose brewed with fruit like passionfruit or hibiscus.

Tips for Enjoying Both Responsibly

Cannabis and alcohol both influence your central nervous system, so combining them requires some thought and moderation. Here’s how to do it properly:

  • Start Low and Go Slow: Begin with low-ABV beers and lower-potency cannabis (like THCA flower or THCA pre-rolls). Ease your way in to appreciate the experience, not just the effect.
  • Time Your Consumption: Consider spacing them out – smoke or vape first, then sip your beer. You’ll have a better sense of how each is affecting you.
  • Eat Something: Pairings don’t have to stop at beer and bud. Add food – like a savory charcuterie board, a salty pretzel, or sweet dark chocolate – to anchor the flavors and keep your head clear.
  • Stay Hydrated: Cannabis can dry your mouth. Alcohol dehydrates you. Water should be your best friend during any session.
  • Know the Law: Public consumption of cannabis is still illegal in most areas. Always check local regulations before lighting up.

Terpene Tourism: The Future of Beer and Bud Culture

As legalization spreads and craft culture continues to explode, we’re seeing a rise in “terpene tourism.” Think cannabis and beer tasting events, aroma workshops, and hybrid venues offering both in a curated environment. Some dispensaries even label terpene profiles as clearly as breweries label IBU and hop varieties.

This is especially true in states like California, Oregon, and Colorado where the craft beer and cannabis industries coexist legally. Brands are already collaborating, using hemp-derived terpenes to flavor non-alcoholic beers and creating co-branded experiences for educated consumers.

And on the East Coast, brands like Carolina Hemp Cafe are starting to bring that same elevated culture to the South. Whether you’re looking for an infused drink, a terpene-rich pre-roll, or just some solid education, they’re helping redefine what it means to enjoy hemp.

Wrapping It Up

Terpenes are the bridge between cannabis and craft beer – a shared aromatic language that invites us to explore deeper, more meaningful flavor experiences.

Whether you’re pairing a piney IPA with a rich THCA flower strain or just enjoying a lemony sativa on a hot day with a citrus lager, the goal is the same: to slow down, tune in, and taste every note.

So next time you’re cracking open a cold one, consider rolling something up to match. The world of aroma and flavor is bigger (and more fun!) when you let both plants speak.

A Landmark Opening for Yuengling at HIA

Harrisburg International Airport (HIA) recently announced the upcoming debut of the Yuengling 1829 Bar & Grill, slated to open by Labor Day. This exciting venture offers flyers and beer enthusiasts alike a unique opportunity to sample Yuengling’s storied brews and classic fare just steps from their gate. The new establishment will not only serve a full range of Yuengling’s celebrated beers on tap and in bottles but also pair them with a thoughtfully crafted bar and grill menu.

Why Yuengling Brewery Is a Craft Beer Icon

Historic Roots—America’s Oldest Brewery

Founded in 1829 by David G. Yuengling in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, Yuengling Brewery has long been synonymous with American brewing tradition. Remaining family-owned across six generations, the brewery expertly blends old-world craftsmanship with modern innovation.

Expanding Reach & Market Impact

Yuengling is not only the oldest operating brewery in the U.S., but also the country’s largest craft brewery by sales volume. Despite industry challenges and competition from macro-brewers, Yuengling’s approachable lagers and ales continue to win new fans, gaining market share even against national giants.

Signature Beers to Enjoy at the Airport

Visitors to the Yuengling 1829 Bar & Grill can expect to experience the brewery’s flagship pours, including:

  • Traditional Lager: A rich amber lager with roasted caramel malt and balanced hopping—synonymous with “lager” in much of Pennsylvania

  • Light Lager: Lower in calories, but full-flavored and crisp.

  • Black & Tan: A flavorful blend of 60% Dark Brewed Porter and 40% Premium Beer.

  • Golden Pilsner: A modern pilsner with a blend of Hallertau and Saaz hops.

  • FLIGHT: Yuengling’s low-cal, low-carb beer for modern palates.

  • Other classics like Lord Chesterfield Ale and Premium Pilsner round out the offerings

Experience & Amenities

Travelers can look forward to a destination that celebrates not only excellent beer, but also Pennsylvania’s hospitality:

  • Historical Beer Selection: Enjoy brews nearly two centuries in the making.

  • Locally-Inspired Cuisine: The menu is expected to showcase regional favorites and classic American fare.

  • Unique Environment: The bar and grill will be designed to immerse guests in Yuengling’s heritage.

  • Convenient for Flyers: Located inside HIA, making craft beer accessible to travelers from across the country

About Yuengling’s Legacy

Since its earliest days as Eagle Brewery in Pottsville, Yuengling has persevered through Prohibition, economic hardships, and intense market competition. Its ability to maintain consistency, quality, and independence has helped the brewery earn a loyal following and a prominent place in the American craft beer movement.

  • Production: Multiple facilities, including the original Pottsville site and a Tampa, Florida brewery.

  • Recognition: Frequently ranked as America’s largest craft brewer.

  • Family-Owned: Now under the leadership of Richard Yuengling Jr., the brewery continues to innovate while honoring tradition

Overview of Harrisburg International Airport (HIA)

Harrisburg International Airport (IATA: MDT) is the primary commercial airport serving South Central Pennsylvania and is located in Middletown, about nine miles southeast of Harrisburg. As the third-largest airport in the state, HIA is a convenient gateway for both business and leisure travelers, offering daily nonstop flights to 17 cities and a variety of one-stop routes connecting to destinations worldwide. The airport is served by major carriers including Allegiant, American, Delta, Frontier, and United, ensuring accessibility to key U.S. hubs and beyond.

Facilities and Traveler Experience

HIA stands out for its traveler-friendly amenities and efficient layout. The terminal, completed in 2004, features 12 gates and a range of services such as free Wi-Fi, rocking chairs in the waiting area, an observation deck, a variety of dining and retail options, and rental car services on-site. The multi-modal transportation facility provides ample parking and easy access to ground transportation, including limos, taxis, hotel shuttles, and public transit. Clean, quiet facilities, short lines, and convenient highway access further contribute to a hassle-free airport experience, making HIA a preferred choice for residents and visitors in Central Pennsylvania.

Travelers passing through Harrisburg International Airport soon won’t just be catching flights—they’ll be toasting to Pennsylvania’s enduring beer legacy with a pint of Yuengling in hand. Whether you’re a craft beer aficionado or simply craving a taste of local flavor, the Yuengling 1829 Bar & Grill will be a must-visit destination on your journey.

Pine Creek Spirits Closing https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/06/29/pine-creek-spirits-closing/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=pine-creek-spirits-closing Sun, 29 Jun 2025 14:08:20 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16467 Pine Creek Spirits Announce Closing

Pine Creek Spirits, located in Elizabethtown PA, in what was at one time the Funk Brewing taproom (see Funk Brewing Fire). (See also: Funk Brewing Taproom closing and Pine Creek Spirits Taking Over.) Located at 28 S Market St, Elizabethtown, PA 17022, the spirits taproom is now permanently closed.

Pine Creek Spirits Logo

Pine Creek Spirits announced on their Instagram post that they will be officially closed, going forward from today.

Their post today reads:

After taking a step back, we have to face the reality that we do not have the ability or resources to reopen. We’re incredibly proud of the team that we had over the years. They fought through a pandemic, a fire, and a failed business partnership. Many people would have thrown in the towel after one of those obstacles, but they perservered over many years to keep fighting for our business to stay alive.

Thank you also to all of our customers. We got to know many of you over the years and you were awesome to us. It makes it that much harder to close the doors. We hope you had as much fun as we did and hopefully we’ll see all of you down the road.

Pine Creek Spirits (Instagram Post – June 29th, 2025)

They previously recently posted this on social media as well:

Sorry everyone, we are taking a week to reorganize and won’t be open. We hope to see everyone at the beginning of next week!

-Pine Creek Spirits (Facebook Post – June 23rd, 2025)

So it looks like they are officially closed. Which is a shame, as its a wonderful location, and a great spot in Elizabethtown. Perhaps a new taproom will go in there, possibly a craft brewery taking over the spot, like how it used to be Funk Brewery’s taproom. Who knows. But we’ll keep you updated if anything does happen with the spot, so keep your eyes peeled on the blog. Cheers.

Going back in time to the 90s in Mount Joy: The Fresh Brews of Mount Joy Brewfest https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/04/28/going-back-in-time-to-the-90s-in-mount-joy-the-fresh-brews-of-mount-joy-brewfest/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=going-back-in-time-to-the-90s-in-mount-joy-the-fresh-brews-of-mount-joy-brewfest Mon, 28 Apr 2025 20:32:39 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16252 Going back in time to the 90s in Mount Joy: The Fresh Brews of Mount Joy Brewfest

or – we took a trip to a brewfest and had a ‘kickin’ good time, one that was rad to the max!

Tasting cups from The Fresh Brews of Mount Joy brewfest

VIP Beerfest tickets –Check

Babysitter secured –Check

Uber ordered –Let’s Go!

We are ready to have a good time.  We made our way to the Fresh Brews of Mount Joy hosted by Yah Brew Hershey, Yah Brew Mount Joy and Voyage Mount Joy.  This was also part of a fundraiser with part of the proceeds benefiting “Donegal Athletic Club” which helps support the needs of our local athletes.

Like all things YAH Brew style, it hit heavy on the 90s nostalgia.  Even each brewery announcement on social media was doing a nostalgic reference to the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”  throwback.  And yes, I have had that song in my head while writing this entire article!

It was only the day of the event I took notice to the wear your best 90s themed attire.  I couldn’t think of anything that fit this goal so I went with my fav beer shirt.  My baby daddy luckily received a Homer Simpson T shirt for Christmas from a wonderful woman, so he wore that.

(See our article: The Fresh Brews of Mount Joy – Upcoming Brewfest on April 26th, 2025)

Even one of the gals pouring beer quizzed us.  “ I came to drop bombs. I got more rhymes than the bible’s got psalms” Who is the artist?  I can immediately guessed “biggie”.  I heard it in his voice when I repeated it in my head.  But I was very wrong…”House of Pain, Jump Around.”  So now that song is in your head, eh?

What got our attention to attend this event despite all the other events was the stellar lineup.

The brewery lineup for the Fresh Brews brewfest

 

After walking up and down the blocked off street the Beerfest looked like everyone was in a  hustle to get stuff setup but folks still taking time to chat and catch up.  I didn’t get the impression that everyone knew each other, although we ran into a lot of familiar faces, but everyone there was genuinely into the beer they were drinking. A large number of the breweries attending have done collab brews together.  It was like hanging out with all your beer friends while pretending the 90s weren’t more than 25 years together!

We had VIP tickets so that meant that VIP time was during the downpour.  I almost felt like I was playing frogger; jumping from tent to tent to get more beer pours at my quickest pace to avoid getting drenched.  But, let’s be honest, if you are giving me beer the rain doesn’t matter that much.

After the Facebook post and a friendly Beerfest goer we decided the bourbon barrel aged stout from Voodoo Brewing company was going to be our first taste of The Fresh Brews of Mount Joy.  Black Magick indeed lived up to hype.

If you have been reading The Beer Thrillers for any amount of time, I think you know by now we know how to get a Beerfest started.  This one comes in at a %13 ABV.  It gives that slight boozy flavor but then finishes off smoothly.  There is some definite magick  going on with this beer!

 

 

It wasn’t long until I needed some food to soak up the beer and our first Stop was Halo’s Eatery.  We split the Halo Bowl.  It was delicious and paired nicely with several of the beers we enjoyed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It wasn’t long after I couldn’t stop drooling over the bacon on a stick I saw my other Beerfest goers enjoying.  We could hardly wait to chow down on the bacon and it was still very hot.  Again, many beers were enjoyed while enjoying Bacon on a stick.

The kicker to the whole event was the 90s cover band.  Every other person there would catch a few tunes and immediately start belting our lyrics that we could remember.

Before catching our Uber home we grabbed some Hoagies to go at Hulk Hoagies (the YAH Brewing attached hoagie shop that they run in Mount Joy), then went home to enjoy them on the coach.  We ordered Sweet Chin Music (spicy) and the Rock Bottom.

I still have that song in my head!

Fresh Brews Brewfest

Ben jumping in here. Just want to give a big shout out to Justin and everyone from YAH Brew for all the hard work they did. The brewfest was absolutely fantastic. Rain or no rain, it was a blast, and we got to hang out with lots of great people over the course of the day, and had some “da bomb” beers. Kudos to all involved for such a job well done!

Human Robot Shutting Down Schuylkill Banks and Opening New Taphouses https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/04/23/human-robot-shutting-down-schuylkill-banks-and-opening-new-taphouses/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=human-robot-shutting-down-schuylkill-banks-and-opening-new-taphouses Wed, 23 Apr 2025 19:21:29 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16248 Human Robot Shutting Down Schuylkill Banks and Opening New Taphouses

Human Robot Beer is shutting down their Schuykill Banks location (on May 31st) and are opening new (two to be exact) taphouses. Crime and Punishment just recently closed and it looks like the vacancy will quickly be filled by Human Robot Beer. Human Robot Brewery will move its Schuylkill Banks tasting room to the recently vacated space of Crime and Punishment Brewing Co. at 2711 W. Girard Ave. in Brewerytown. Human Robot also has plans to open a new spot in New Hope, Bucks County.

Human Robot Beer’s Announcement

The Announcement

The following is Human Robot Beer’s announcement on Instagram:

When one door closes, TWO more open!
.
While we are sad to announce that we will be leaving our @humanrobotschuylkillbanks location on May 31st, we are VERY excited to share that we will be opening TWO new tasting rooms in the very near future.
.
@humanrobotgirard is thrilled to announce our move into the former Crime & Punishment location at 2711 W. Girard ave. We are truly honored to uphold the legacy established by Mike P, Wambs, and their amazing team over the last decade. One of our very first “meetings” took place in this space, and it holds a special place in our hearts. We cherish the memories we’ve made there over so many exceptional beers and look forward to creating even more with all of you. Our hope is to get it reopened as soon as possible. Our buddy Poe will be joining us as well, follow @poessidepiece and please follow our new social for updates!
.
@doublesNH is our new concept in New Hope, PA located at 12 W. Mechanic St. This will be a slightly different spin on what we have traditionally done. For one, we are bringing in a partner, @keithashore , to help with design and art and some special extras to be announced. This is being built from the ground up, so it will take a little longer, but look for us hopefully come July. Again, follow the socials there and we will update when we can!
.
Thanks for being on this journey with us and supporting us every step of the way. More info to come!

Human Robot Brewery Expands: New Locations in Brewerytown and New Hope

Crime and Punishment’s Brewery

Human Robot Brewery is making major moves in 2025, relocating its Schuylkill Banks tasting room to Brewerytown and launching a new concept in New Hope. Here’s what beer lovers need to know about these exciting changes.

Human Robot Brewery Takes Over Crime & Punishment’s Former Space

Human Robot Brewery will soon be calling 2711 W. Girard Avenue in Brewerytown its new home. This location, previously occupied by Crime & Punishment Brewing Co. for a decade, will become Human Robot Girard, replacing the brewery’s current Schuylkill Banks outpost, which will close on May 31, 2025. The move comes after Human Robot finalized a $760,000 purchase of the building, although the deal did not include Crime & Punishment’s business or brewing licenses.

The new taproom will retain much of the character and furnishings of Crime & Punishment, with only the brewing equipment being removed to make way for additional seating. Outdoor seating will also be available, and all former Crime & Punishment staff have been offered positions at the new Human Robot location.

What to Expect at Human Robot Girard

Patrons can look forward to the brewery’s signature lagers, pilsners, and innovative brews, including the popular Milktube pours. The food menu will feature sandwiches from Poe’s Side Piece, an offshoot of Poe’s Sandwich Joint, which is already a staple at Human Robot’s flagship in West Kensington. The brewery aims to honor the legacy of Crime & Punishment while bringing its own unique flair to the neighborhood.

Expansion Continues: New Hope Location Set for Summer

In addition to its Brewerytown plans, Human Robot is preparing to open a new tasting room called Doubles at 12 W. Mechanic Street in New Hope, marking its first venture into Bucks County. This ground-up project is expected to debut in July 2025 and will offer a slightly different experience compared to the brewery’s other locations. The New Hope outpost will bring the total number of Human Robot locations to five, including existing taprooms in Kensington, Jenkintown, and East Passyunk.

Human Robot’s Growth and Legacy

Founded in 2020 by Ken Correll, Chris Roller, and Jake Atkinson, Human Robot Brewery has quickly become a Philadelphia favorite, known for its experimental approach and dedication to quality. Head brewer Andrew Foss has helped popularize the use of Czech Lukr faucets, renowned for producing a thick, creamy foam on their beers.

The End of an Era for Crime & Punishment

Crime & Punishment Brewing Co., established in 2015, became a beloved fixture in Brewerytown, crafting nearly 500 unique beers over its ten-year run. The brewery closed its doors in April 2025, leaving behind a legacy of community and creativity that Human Robot aims to honor as it steps into the space.

With these strategic expansions, Human Robot Brewery continues to cement its reputation as one of Philadelphia’s most dynamic craft beer brands, promising new experiences for fans in both Brewerytown and New Hope.

Liquid Hero and Gift Horse Join Forces https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/04/01/liquid-hero-and-gift-horse-join-forces/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=liquid-hero-and-gift-horse-join-forces Tue, 01 Apr 2025 22:30:51 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16195 Liquid Hero Brewing Company and Brewery TeaHorse Brewing Join Forces

In yet another non-April Fools – April 1st news story – we have Liquid Hero Brewing and Gift Horse Brewing joining forces in Downtown York. A headline that seems perfect for April 1st; not too funny, not too edgy, not another “weird flavor concoction” brewery post; but no — this is no April Fools Joke. Liquid Hero and Gift Horse really are joining forces. Both breweries are located in downtown York, both breweries are trying to find their own way in the ever evolving scene of craft beer and craft brewing, with emerging new costs (like Trump’s Tariffs) and an in-general decline to the industry. Gift Horse Brewing is located at 117 N George St, York, PA 17401 and Liquid Hero Brewing is located at 251 N George St, York, PA 17401.

The Announcement

Earlier today on social media, Liquid Hero and Gift Horse both posted this message:

Liquid Hero and Gift Horse Join Forces

Liquid Hero Brewery, a production brewery with a restaurant location in York City, PA, and Gift Horse Brewing Company, a brew pub and beer garden also located in York City, PA have entered into a collaborative relationship to strengthen their respective brewing endeavors.

In May of 2024, Liquid Hero opened a restaurant location at 251 N George Street, just a few doors down from Gift Horse’s successful brewpub and beer garden location. Several months after opening the restaurant, Gift Horse tapped Liquid Hero to provide brewing and packaging services whereby Liquid Hero, out of their 50 E North Street brewery location, brews and packages several Gift Horse beer brands.

After several months of this collaborative relationship, both Liquid Hero and Gift Horse saw a mutually beneficial opportunity; to expand this relationship to allow Liquid Hero to focus on their new restaurant endeavor and to allow Gift Horse to continue to grow their brand. The resulting opportunity will transfer ownership of Liquid Hero’s brewing equipment only, over the next several years, to Gift Horse. This will bring all production and packaging of all Liquid Hero beer and all Gift Horse beer under one roof at 50 E North Street. Liquid Hero will continue to independently operate their restaurant at 251 N George St and their beer will continue to be produced by the same hands and on the same equipment at 50 E North Street.

Over the next few years, Gift Horse has plans to brew additional brands of beer at 50 E North Street and make the brewery a brewing production hub for both local and regional breweries. Offering contracting services of 7bbl, 10bbl, 15bbl & 30bbl batches and utilizing our canning/packaging systems to be able to provide support to breweries of all sizes. Meanwhile, Liquid Hero will continue to grow their restaurant and will also continue to produce and distribute their beer locally.

Liquid Hero Brewery started in October of 2011 at its original location at 50 E North Street. In May of 2024, they opened a second location as a restaurant at the corner of N George Street and E North Street. After opening the second location, Liquid Hero shut down the brewpub at 50 E North Street and used this location only as brewing operations as well as space for private events.

Gift Horse Brewing Company opened in August of 2018 at its current location at 117 N George Street. In 2019, Gift Horse expanded into the open lot next door and created a 6,000 sq ft outdoor beer garden complete with a 35-seat full service outdoor bar and enough space to accommodate over 150 people. Gift Horse has quickly become a community hub hosting numerous events and fundraisers while focusing on complimenting Downtown York’s vibrant Art’s and Entertainment scene.

Our joint commitment to Downtown York, York County and the region as a whole is to continue to produce quality products and help Central Pennsylvania remain at the forefront of the Craft Brewing Industry.

Gift Horse Brewing Facebook Announcement

 

(I will also link the full text image they posted later in the article.)

As you can see in this map (Downtown York) – Liquid Hero Brewing and Gift Horse Brewing are just 0.2 miles apart, or 1 minute driving (according to Google; though getting in your car, in and out, traffic, parking, etc……). Gift Horse Brewing is located at 117 N George St, York, PA 17401 and Liquid Hero Brewing is located at 251 N George St, York, PA 17401. Via walking its listed as 4 minutes according to Google Maps.

Given the current environment of the craft brewing industry, and the sheer and steady decline of breweries not just across the state, but nationwide, this sounds like a very promising way to keep both businesses afloat. Just earlier today we announced Butler Brew Works will be closing “indefinitely”.  This also looks to be a boon for the smaller breweries in the region, with the capacity to lease their contracting services and the canning lines as well. So we’ll see how that plays out with distribution for other breweries. This can also be an end to help meet financial goals for both of these breweries as well. Sounds like a three-way win to us. (And who doesn’t like three way wins?)

We will keep everyone updated with future information.

The Average Cost of Beer Per Ballpark (2025) https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/03/28/the-average-cost-of-beer-per-ballpark-2025/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-average-cost-of-beer-per-ballpark-2025 Fri, 28 Mar 2025 19:37:50 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16377 The Average Cost of Beer Per Ballpark

Beer and baseball just go together…. like… baseball and cracker jacks…. or baseball and peanuts…. or baseball and soft pretzels. You know… come to think of it, all of these foods are very salty and make you want to drink… I wonder if thats a coincidence?

Beer prices at Major League Baseball (MLB) stadiums in 2025 vary significantly, reflecting each team’s pricing strategies and efforts to enhance fan experience. While some teams have introduced value menus to offer more affordable options, others maintain higher prices, especially for premium or craft selections. So its no wonder you wanna know where you can get the most bang for your buck, so lets see what stadiums and ballparks have the best cost to beer ratios!

Union Craft Brewing’s beer at Camden Yards. (photo courtesy of Union Craft Brewing)

Average Beer Prices Across MLB Stadiums

Based on available data, the average price for a 16-ounce domestic beer at MLB stadiums in 2025 is approximately $7.50. However, prices can range from as low as $3.00 to as high as $15.00, depending on the stadium and beer type.

Notable Examples

  • Most Expensive: At Steinbrenner Field, home to the Tampa Bay Rays’ spring training, a 16-ounce beer can cost up to $15.00, the highest reported in the league. Bookies.com

  • Affordable Options: Teams like the Baltimore Orioles and Milwaukee Brewers have introduced value menus, offering beers for as low as $5.00 to attract more fans and provide a family-friendly experience. MarketWatch

  • Special Promotions: The St. Louis Cardinals offer $5.00 beers at the Budweiser Terrace during all games, providing fans with a more affordable beverage option. Reddit

Price Per Ounce

Analyzing beer prices per ounce provides additional insight:

  • Highest Per Ounce: The San Francisco Giants have one of the highest per-ounce prices at $0.73, reflecting the premium pricing at Oracle Park. ESPN.com

  • Lowest Per Ounce: The Colorado Rockies offer beers at $0.25 per ounce, making Coors Field one of the most affordable stadiums for beer.

Average Beer Prices in 2025

While the average beer price at MLB stadiums in 2025 hovers around $7.50 for a 16-ounce domestic beer, fans can find both more affordable and more expensive options depending on the stadium and available promotions. Teams are increasingly offering value menus and special deals to enhance the game-day experience and make attending games more accessible to a broader audience.

🍺 Average Beer Prices at MLB Ballparks (2025 Season)

 

Team Stadium Average Beer Price
Baltimore Orioles Oriole Park at Camden Yards 10.99$
Boston Red Sox Fenway Park 10.50$
Chicago White Sox Guaranteed Rate Field 10.50$
Chicago Cubs Wrigley Field 10.49$
San Francisco Giants Oracle Park 9.00$
Pittsburgh Pirates PNC Park 8.91$
Milwaukee Brewers American Family Field 8.49$
Texas Rangers Globe Life Field 8.00$
Philadelphia Phillies Citizens Bank Park 7.69$
Houston Astros Minute Maid Park 7.50$
New York Mets Citi Field 7.50$
Cincinnati Reds Great American Ball Park 7.49$
Los Angeles Dodgers Dodger Stadium 7.00$
Oakland Athletics Oakland Coliseum 7.00$
New York Yankees Yankee Stadium 6.00$
Detroit Tigers Comerica Park 5.29$
St. Louis Cardinals Busch Stadium 5.25$
Miami Marlins loanDepot Park 5.00$
Tampa Bay Rays Tropicana Field 5.00$
Cleveland Guardians Progressive Field 5.00$
Kansas City Royals Kauffman Stadium 5.00$
Seattle Mariners T-Mobile Park 5.00$
San Diego Padres Petco Park 5.00$
Minnesota Twins Target Field 4.99$
Atlanta Braves Truist Park 4.99$
Arizona Diamondbacks Chase Field 4.99$
Los Angeles Angels Angel Stadium 4.50$
Toronto Blue Jays Rogers Centre 4.44$
Colorado Rockies Coors Field 3.00$
Washington Nationals Nationals Park 3.00$

Now, as you can see, by the low prices of some of these parks, this obviously doesn’t indicate the best beer is being consumed! The math was accumulated over the total prices of beer items listed in various places in the parks, and also takes in some discounts and different methods that some (season ticket holders, etc.) have of reducing the costs. Its also prince per ounce, so costs may seem off balance due to this as well.

In honor of baseball season kicking off today, let’s take a look at the best breweries nearest to each of the MLB ballparks throughout the country.

There’s nothing quite like catching a Major League Baseball game on a sunny afternoon—or under the lights—with a cold beer in hand. But while stadium beer options are improving, true craft beer lovers know that the best pints are often found just outside the ballpark gates.

Whether you’re a baseball diehard on a ballpark tour or a local looking to elevate your game-day experience, we’ve rounded up the best and closest craft brewery to every MLB stadium. From legendary lager halls to modern hop havens, these breweries are perfect pregame or postgame destinations.

The German Brewer Making French Beer in the Caribbean https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/03/06/the-german-brewer-making-french-beer-in-the-caribbean/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-german-brewer-making-french-beer-in-the-caribbean Thu, 06 Mar 2025 14:35:53 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16075 The German Brewer Making French Beer in the Caribbean

Paul, Maxie, and Michel visited the Gwada Brewery in Guadalupe

We were wrong. Maxie, Michel and I thought we were going to a brewpub in the capital of Guadeloupe. As French language students, we probably misunderstood Gwada Beer’s website. I was expecting a craft brewery with French and Caribbean influences, so were Michel and Maxie. What we encountered was unexpected and delightful.

Paul in the Gwada Brew House

Gwada Beer is a brewery… just not a craft brewery. It’s the beer of the island; a sort of national beer, if Guadeloupe were a country and not a Caribbean territory of France. The only thing “craft” about the brewery was its small size. Troeg’s Brewery in Hershey, PA is larger, so is Ever Grain Brewing in Mechanicsburg, PA.

As the three of us entered the brewery, we saw a very small bar area and couple of glass door refrigerators. Pretty standard stuff. But it seemed the three of us were the only visitors. We greeted the tall guy behind the counter in French. He asked if we were German — Maxie and Michel said they were; I said I was American. He then said speaking German or English would be better for him. He said that he was from Germany. He then explained that we were not in a craft brewery — they weren’t serving beer and food. The place was strictly for producing Gwada Beer… sort of.

The three of us had accidentally met Stefan Fascher, the head brewer of Gwada Beer. We had caught him and his coworker in the middle of working on some fermentation tanks. “I just moved here a few months ago to take the position.” Stefan mentioned that Gwada Original — the popular lager seen all over the island—is currently made in France. The brewery in Guadeloupe had fallen on hard times and he was hired to raise its quality. “So, like a good German, the first thing I started doing was cleaning,” Stefan said with a laugh.

From behind the bar, he poured us three glasses of a silky, golden beer. “Try these. This is Gwada Ice. It’s tough to find around Guadeloupe at the moment.” It was a delicious wheat beer. It tasted like a lager and didn’t have any grassy notes of a wheat. I’m not a big fan of wheat beer, but maybe it was the tropical heat because I loved it! He poured us another beer; this one was reddish and amber in color. “This is Gwada Magma with a higher ABV and tastes more like a pils.” It was also delicious. “It’s also rare to find around here,” he said.

Stefan then invited us to take a look at the brewery operations. “Come on back here. I can show you around a little.” The equipment was familiar—mash tun, boil kettle, fermentation tanks. As we paused by some of the equipment, I asked him if it bothered people on the island that Gwada Original wasn’t brewed locally anymore. “Well, to be honest, France is not a big beer culture. It’s more wine. And on the island, it’s more about rum. Beer is beer. Eventually, it’ll return to be brewed here.”

We walked back to the small bar area and chatted over more beer. Stefan has been the United States a few times. “My brother lives in Wisconsin. I’ve had a lot of good beer and great times there.” And, thanks to Stefan at Gwada Beer, Maxie, Michel and I had good beer and a great time in Guadeloupe.

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.
