The 2024 Battle of the Breweries Champion Is… Liquid Noise Brewing Company!

The NEW Battle of the Breweries Champion Is…

Liquid Noise Brewing Company

The brand new, undisputed, Battle of the Breweries Champion is….. Liquid Noise Brewing Company! Joining our esteemed list of previous winners (Allusion Brewing Company, Von C Brewing Company, and Isle of Que Brewing), Liquid Noise Brewing Company is the newest champion; defeating Allusion Brewing Company, Shy Bear Brewing, and Robin Hood Brewing Company in a hard fought battle in the Finals Fatal Four-Way. They outlasted 139 other breweries to be the sole champion of this year’s tournament.

The Battle of the Breweries ran from the end of February to middle of April, with several rounds. Liquid Noise Brewing Company put up an amazing performance the whole way through (you can view how they did in the results pages for each round). In the finals they bested last year’s champion – Allusion Brewing Company as well as Shy Bear Brewing and Robin Hood Brewing Company. They garnered 1085 votes for a 49.2% of the vote. In second place was Allusion Brewing Company with 903 votes (41%) and in third was Shy Bear Brewing with 113 votes and Robin Hood Brewing Company came in fourth with 104 votes.

Liquid Noise Brewing Company made it to the Finals Fatal Four-Way by winning the Bravo Conference. In this tournament there were breweries from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Delaware, D.C, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Arizona.

Liquid Noise Brewing Company

Liquid Noise Brewing Company is located in Marysville, Pennsylvania. They recently re-opened with new management, new brewers, and new beers. An advanced kitchen and menu, as well as wonderful staff, there is no doubt as to why they won the tournament. Take a moment to stop out sometime and check out why they are THE 2024 BATTLE OF THE BREWERIES CHAMPIONS!

Results

I will be doing a full break-down article on the results of the round tomorrow, like I have done for the other rounds and each previous tournament. But for quick results, you can see the image below:

Nearly a year to the day since the original Liquid Noise Brewing closed (see: Liquid Noise Brewing Company Announces The Show is Ending) the new Liquid Noise Brewing Company is set to open. This is fantastic news for the Marysville area which has been lacking a brewery since the old Liquid Noise Brewing closed.

The brewery is located at 600 S State Rd Suite #2, Marysville, PA 17053.

Stay tuned to their Facebook (and other social media pages) for more updates and news as they lead up to their big opening.

Liquid Noise Brewing Company – New Ownership, New Beer, New Friends https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/05/08/liquid-noise-brewing-company-new-ownership-new-beer-new-friends/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=liquid-noise-brewing-company-new-ownership-new-beer-new-friends Tue, 09 May 2023 00:45:32 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=11308 Liquid Noise Brewing Company – New Ownership

Looks like Liquid Noise Brewing Company is coming back. This time however with new ownership, new beer, and possibly (hopefully) new friends.

Back in March I was given good word (from a trusted person, who was closely attached to the original Liquid Noise Brewing Company) that Liquid Noise Brewing was coming back, but just couldn’t give any details or make an announcement.

But it looks like the cat is out of the bag now. Four hours ago (4:10 PM and 4:11 PM respectively) they changed their Facebook cover photo to a “Coming Soon” photo of their brewery exterior (the backdrop for the above picture, without the ‘new ownership, new beer, new friends’ tagline) and a new profile photo with the Liquid Noise Brewing logo with construction tape over it.

One hour ago they updated their cover photo again with the above photo.

No word yet on who the new ownership is, who the new brewer(s) is / are, and no word on who the new friends are.

We will keep everyone updated as we get more information. When we learn of anything – and can post it – we will.

Liquid Noise Brewing Company’s Closing

Liquid Noise Brewing Company – Under Construction

For more information, see our original article: Liquid Noise Brewing Company Announces The Show is Ending.

Liquid Noise’s Message

The brewery’s post on their social media just about a half hour ago reads:

From a worldwide pandemic to loss of loved ones, Liquid Noise pushed through, but it saddens us to announce that just shy of our 3-year birthday our tour has come to an end. We will be closing our doors sometime in December. We will continue to operate our currents days and hours until our closing date is announced. We value all the new friends that we have made during our journey and appreciate all the loyal friends that have shown their support for us.

We encourage you to please use any gift cards or trivia winnings at this time until we announce our final show date.

If you have any special photos or memories of your times at Liquid Noise please share them on this post! Remember….keep an eye out for our last day and specials that are on the way!!

On behalf of the entire Liquid Noise Family we THANK YOU!! It has been one heck of back stage tour! CHEERS AND KEEP ON ROCKING & CRAFTING LIKE A ROCKSTAR!! 🤘🍺🎤🍻

Sadly… Sometimes the Show Must End

In rather shocking news, about a half hour ago Liquid Noise Brewing Company, out of Marysville Pennsylvania, has announced that they will be closing their doors and will be having one final show. No closing date has been announced yet, but they just posted on Facebook and Instagram encouraging their fans and guests and customers to use their trivia winnings and gift cards.

They were just about to make it to their third year anniversary.

They are a micro brewery out of Marysville, Pennsylvania with 176 unique beers and 8,128 ratings. They have a global average rating of 3.78 (as of 12.5.22). They have no listed bio or description on Untappd.

For more information on Liquid Noise Brewing Company:

They were a regular stop and visit for Josh, as well as myself, and later Amy as well. Leela was also a big fan of sitting out front (she especially enjoyed getting to “steal” french fries from me). Its really a shame to see the brewery announce that they will be closing. This comes off the recent news of both Rocket Frog Brewing Company (in Virginia) announcing their closure, as well as myself being informed that Burd’s Nest Brewing Company (in Carlisle, Pennsylvania) will also be shuttering their doors.

End of the Year

Hopefully this trend of breweries closing at the end of the year won’t continue, and hopefully its not a sign of the “craft beer” and “craft brewery” bubble and marketplace collapsing and bursting like everyone talks about happening. Fingers crossed at any rate.

Thanks For Reading

Sad news to end the day on. We (Amy and myself… and Leela too) loved going to Liquid Noise. So did Josh I know.

Hopefully this will be the last brewery closure post I’ll have to make (for a long, long, long time). And we wish the best and good luck to all involved with Liquid Noise Brewing Company moving forward.

Goodnight everyone.

Cheers All.

Looking for good local stouts or green beer this St. Patty’s Day? https://thebeerthrillers.com/2021/03/17/looking-for-good-local-stouts-or-green-beer-this-st-pattys-day/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=looking-for-good-local-stouts-or-green-beer-this-st-pattys-day Wed, 17 Mar 2021 11:25:00 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=7411
Liquid Noise’s “A Little Extra – Goin’ Green”

Ready to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day 2021? Since… well… we really didn’t get to last year? Suddenly got an extra 1,400$ in your bank account on St. Patrick’s Day morning and not knowing what to do with it? Why not help out those restaurants that have been hurt for this past year!

Its incredibly crazy to see how its been a year since COVID mitigation efforts started, since shut downs were instituted, and we were all locked inside our homes watching Tiger King on Netflix. Looking back at the memories of the blog and my own and seeing just how little we were all prepared for everything happening… how things unfolded, watching event after event get cancelled, shut down or lock down after shut down and lock down, protocols instituted, changes to restaurants, etc…. its so crazy and surreal and unbelievable to look back on. What a time to be alive?!

Reminds me of Frodo and Gandalf discussing “crazy times to be alive in”:

Frodo: I wish it need not have happened in my time.
Gandalf: So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

But here we are, a year out from all those shenanigans (ahh, what a great word to use on St. Patrick’s Day), and its time to celebrate. So what do you do? Let’s help out our local craft breweries instead of just jumping into the Guinness and Irish Car Bombs, let’s look at some of the great craft brewery offerings!

Stouts

There is no shortage of amazing stouts in the area; and by area, I am speaking of my area – which is the Central PA area. Think Hershey, Harrisburg, Middletown, Hummelstown, Annville, Palmyra, Mechanicsburg, etc.

There are plenty of great stouts and we can look at some of them right here. Let’s start with my home town of Hummelstown.

Rubber Soul’s 317 Stout
Rubber Soul just released a brand new coffee stout to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and its named 317 (…if you can figure out why they named it that, please let our intern know, he’s very confused about the name, because the area code is 717).

317 Stout by Rubber Soul Brewing Company

It is a lovely, roasty, toasty, coffee stout. Its a Stout – Irish Dry, and its only 4.9%. The Untappd listing for it is:

Beer: 317
Brewery: Rubber Soul Brewing Company
Style: Stout – Irish Dry
ABV: 4.9%
IBU: None
Untapped Description: Roasty and smooth with a cold coffee finish from the Elementary cold brewed coffee.
Global Untappd Rating: 3.81 (as of 3.17.21)

This would make for a lovely chaser to some Jamison Whiskey, or possibly even could be a wonderful substitute for a Guinness in a Irish Car Bomb.

Troegs Independent Craft Brewery
Let’s stroll over to Hershey now and see just how many different offerings Troegs has in the stout division. (Hint – there’s a few).

First up: JavaHead Stout:

JavaHead Stout by Troegs

Beer: Java Head
Brewery: Troegs Independent Craft Brewery
Style: Stout – Coffee
ABV: 7.5%
IBU: 60
Untappd Description: JavaHead is like a day at Tröegs; it’s hard to tell where the coffee ends and the beer begins. This creamy oatmeal stout is infused with locally roasted, cold steeped coffee through our HopBack vessel, releasing subtle hints of cocoa, roasted nuts and dark mocha.
Untappd Global Average Rating: 3.7 (as of 3.17.21)

They also have two versions of their Chocolate Stout; regular and on Nitro. My preference is the Nitro (but I also tend to prefer Nitro most times in general, so take that for what it is). They are the same beer.

Troegs Chocolate Stout

Beer: Chocolate Stout
Brewery: Troegs Independent Craft Brewery
Style: Stout – Milk / Sweet
ABV: 7.1%
IBU: 41
Untappd Description: Our lush and layered Chocolate Stout showcases the best of an anthology of malts and grains: the soft, coffee-like bitterness of roasted barley, the rich caramel notes of Special B, the subtle sweetness of chocolate malt, and the silkiness of oats. Cocoa nibs add the depth of dark chocolate, and a touch of Madagascar vanilla puts a bow on this roasty winter warmer.
Global Untappd Average Rating: 3.79 (as of 3.17.21)

The Nitro version has a different description:
Six different malt varieties, cacao nibs, dark chocolate, lactose, oats, and vanilla combine to produce a decadent Chocolate Stout. Dispensing via nitrogen yields a lush, velvety texture and rich, smooth finish.
It also has a higher global rating – 3.94. (As of 3.17.21)

Grand Cacao by Troegs

This is their latest newcomer to their stout market, and it is possibly my favorite. You can see our review of it here: Beer Review: Grand Cacao (Troegs Craft Brewing).

Beer: Grand Cacao
Brewery: Troegs Independent Craft Brewing
Style: Stout – Milk / Sweet
ABV: 6.5%
IBU: None
Untappd Description: Welcome to Grand Cacao. This deliciously decadent stout is built on a foundation of rich chocolate malt, caramel malt and roasted barley. Cold-steeping on Peruvian cacao nibs and natural vanilla doubles down on the smooth symphony of chocolate, and a splash of milk sugar delivers a velvety sweet and creamy finish.
We taste: milk chocolate, roasty grain, hints of sweet cream.
Global Untappd Average Rating: 3.63 (as of 3.17.21)

Tattered Flag Brewery and Distillery
Lets bounce over to Tattered Flag in Middletown now, who have never had any shortness of wonderful stouts on their menu. Just looking at their Untappd menu they currently have at their brewery in Middletown:

  • Leprechaun Wraith
  • Peppermint Wraith
  • Coconut Stout
  • War Bonds Breakfast Stout
  • Black is Beautiful

And they have a guest tap of Our Town Brewery’s “Bar Room Hymnal”. Which, I was just at last Friday. You can check out my trip to the Lancaster Breweries in one of my latest travelogues here: “Hiking Turkey Hill Point and Visiting Lancaster’s Newest Breweries – Cartel Brewing, Our Town Brewery, and Big Dog Brewing”.

Let’s look at Leprechaun Wraith:

Leprechaun Wraith by Tattered Flag

Beer: Leprechaun Wraith
Brewery: Tattered Flag Brewery and Distillery
Style: Stout – Other
ABV: 12%
IBU: None
Untappd Description: Our Pastry stout base aged in ex Irish whiskey casks for months before conditioning in stainless over marshmallow cream and vanilla. Its like an Irish Car Bomb in a bottle!
Global Average Untappd Rating: 4.01 (as of 3.17.21)

Sounds perfect for tonight’s at-home festivities!

Boneshire Brew Works
Boneshire Brew Works has a wonderful stout of their own that they have for March each year, called Grattan Irish Stout. This is one that is definitely worth a pickup of a 4-pack every year, or at minimum a pint on draft.

Grattan Irish Stout by Boneshire Brew Works

Beer: Grattan Irish Stout
Brewery: Boneshire Brew Works
Style: Stout – Irish Dry
ABV: 4.5%

Be sure to read our review of it here: Beer Review: Grattan Irish Stout (Boneshire Brew Works).

Rotunda Brewing Company
We would be amiss if we didn’t mention Rotunda Brewing Company’s stout – aptly named: IRISH CAR BOMB. We got to have this before their Kegs and Eggs event last year; right before the shut down (just mere days before the shut down). You can read about the event here: Kegs and Eggs (2020) at the Batdorf – Rotunda Brewing Company.

Rotunda’s Brewery Pub in Hershey also has a few other stouts on hand if you want to give them a try:

  • Lady Morrigan Nitro Stout
  • Grasshopper Brownie Imperial Stout
  • Death by Decadence
  • Car Bomb: Imperial Stout (not the same as the one above)

Green Beer

Maybe you don’t want a stout, maybe you don’t like doing Irish Car Bombs and don’t feel like dropping Jamison and Bailey’s into a local craft brewery’s stout. Maybe you just want a good… old fashioned…. green beer?

Well, you are still in luck!

Staying with Rotunda, they released a green beer at their brew pub in Hershey called Green Goodness.

Liquid Noise
Now let’s head across the river to Marysville and see what they have to offer for St. Paddy’s Day. They’ve gotten quite a bit of buzz lately about their recently released green beer in celebration of St. Paddy’s Day. They were even featured on ABC27 News: Liquid Noise on Good Morning ABC27 News.

So let’s celebrate St. Patrick’s Day

Ok, now its time to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! And lets do it safely everyone. Still obey precautions and rules and laws. What is everyone planning on doing today? What are your big plans for the day? I’m thinking low-key for myself, as I have a lot of writing to do, and not sure on what all to do tonight. But I might be persuaded to go out and enjoy myself some St. Paddy’s beer. Where at? Maybe a nice dinner with bangers and mash? Or Shepherd’s Pie? Who knows! I have about 2% Irish in me, but on St. Patrick’s Day we’re all Irish for the day! So let me know in the comments what you are planning to do for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day!

As always, be safe, be careful, and use Uber or Lyft if going out and celebrating too excessively. Be sure to mind the precautions, and rules, we’re almost there. The light is at the end of the tunnel. April 4th we all will be back to a far more normal world (I cannot wait to drink at a bar again!). Until then everyone, cheers and slainte!

Slainte!
