🌽 Hocktoberfest – Sterling Pig Brewery

Our deep dive into Sterling Pig’s Oktoberfest-style lager was as flavorful as the beer itself. Combining BBQ, malt-forward notes, and Philly-area love, this review celebrated local flavor in every sense. We especially loved how the pun-heavy branding paired with the beer’s clean, biscuity body and subtle caramel finish.

It’s Friday the 13th, and as the chilling wind creeps through the trees and masked slashers stalk our screens, there’s only one beer that belongs in your glass tonight: Juicin’ Voorhees by Pariah Brewing Company. With a name that nods to the hockey-masked legend of horror, this hazy Double IPA doesn’t sneak up on you—it kicks in the door, machete first. But instead of screams, it leaves behind a trail of juicy citrus, smooth bitterness, and pure hop-fueled satisfaction.

Juicin’ Voorhees by Pariah Brewing Company

☁️ Appearance – Haze of the Undead

Much like the fog rolling across Crystal Lake, Juicin’ Voorhees pours an ominously thick golden haze with a glowing, almost radioactive glow. Its creamy white head clings like cobwebs on a rickety cabin, leaving lacing that lingers long after each sip. Ominous, inviting, and impossible to ignore.

👃 Aroma – Frighteningly Fruity

From the first whiff, this beer hits hard with grapefruit zest, peach nectar, and a whisper of dank tropical fruit—like a fruit basket left behind at a murder scene. There’s a sinister edge of orange rind and a faint herbal note in the background, hinting that not everything is as sweet as it seems.

👅 Flavor – Slashingly Smooth

Where most slashers go for the jugular, Juicin’ Voorhees chooses a more subtle, creeping approach.

• Up front, you get a wave of peach, grapefruit, and tangerine—a fruit-forward assault that’s bright and punchy.

• The mid-palate turns slightly bitter, with soft pith and a touch of earthy dankness.

• The finish? Clean, slightly resinous, and just warm enough to remind you this beast clocks in at 8.1% ABV.

It walks the line between sweet and bitter with the finesse of a seasoned stalker—never too cloying, never too aggressive.

👻 Mouthfeel – Smooth as a Silent Stalk

Medium-bodied with a creamy, pillowy mouthfeel, Juicin’ Voorhees glides across the palate like a shadow in the woods. No alcohol burn, no heavy syrup—just a chillingly clean, soft experience that leaves you watching your back… and reaching for another sip.

🩸 Overall Impressions – Hazy Horror Done Right

Pariah Brewing has crafted something special here. Juicin’ Voorhees isn’t just a gimmick beer with a horror-themed name—it’s a legit, well-balanced hazy DIPA that stands tall even among the genre’s heavyweights. The name might scream slasher flick, but the beer inside is all finesse and flavor.

If you’re a fan of juicy IPAs, or just someone looking for the perfect beer to pair with your Friday the 13th binge-watch session, this one’s a no-brainer. Literally.

📊 Stats & Reception

• ABV: 8.1%

• IBUs: 24

• Style: Hazy / New England Double IPA

• Untappd Score: 3.9 / 5 (1,200+ check-ins)

• Availability: Limited seasonal release, often around Halloween or fall

🍽️ Pairings – What to Eat While You Scream

• Buffalo wings with ghost pepper sauce – feel the burn

• Sharp cheddar and soft pretzels – smooth meets bold

• Pumpkin pie or caramel apple tarts – because horror needs dessert too

• Grilled sausage and onions – hearty flavors to match the DIPA bite

🪦 Final Words – Don’t Sleep on This Slasher

Whether you’re hiding under a blanket watching Jason Lives or sitting around a fall campfire waiting for strange noises, Juicin’ Voorhees is a killer choice. Bold, juicy, and just creepy enough to make your skin crawl—in the best way.

So this Friday the 13th, raise a glass to horror, hops, and Pariah Brewing’s tribute to the boogeyman of hazy IPAs. Just don’t turn your back on the fridge. You never know when another can might sneak up behind you…

🍺 Juicin’ Voorhees Review – A Killer Brew for Friday the 13th

Brewing a high‑gravity beer like barleywine is an exciting challenge—it demands more time, ingredients, and patience compared to lighter styles. If you’re brewing all‑grain, be aware that your yield will likely be reduced because of the heavier grain bill.

A homebrewed Barleywine. Titan’s Tribute.

(See our article: Titan’s Tribute Barleywine (Homebrew Recipe) )

1. Grain Bill & Specialty Malts

Start with a substantial base malt—lights such as 2‑row barley or Maris Otter—and add specialty malts (e.g., crystal, caramel) to boost flavor and color. You’ll need much more grain than for standard beers.

2. Extract Brewing Alternative

If you prefer extract brewing, supplement your base malt extract with specialty grains for complexity. This simplifies the process while still producing rich malt flavors.

3. Water & Mash

Use a balanced water profile. For American-style barleywine, consider blending reverse-osmosis and tap water. Adding chloride enhances malt smoothness, while some sulfate (100–200 ppm) can help dry out the finish. Aim for a mash temperature around 152–156 °F to retain fermentable sugars but still allow body.

4. Boil & Hops

A long, vigorous boil (90 minutes or more) intensifies caramelization and concentrates the wort. Hops are essential—not only to balance the massive malt bill but also to define whether your wine leans English (more restrained hops) or American (bold, citrusy hops).

5. Yeast & Fermentation

Choose a robust yeast strain capable of achieving high attenuation. Pitch enough yeast and consider a starter to ensure a healthy fermentation. With high gravity, a secondary fermentation is recommended to clear and mature the beer.

6. Conditioning & Aging

Patience is vital. Barleywine usually takes months to mellow and develop. Many brewers age their beer for 3–12 months, monitoring flavor evolution—oak aging and bottle conditioning are popular enhancement methods.

7. Style & Serving

English barleywine tends to be rich, malty, and less hoppy, while American versions emphasize hop bitterness and aroma. Expect ABVs in the range of 8–12%. Serve it in snifter glasses to fully appreciate its depth.

(See our fun Facebook post about Barleywines here: The Beer Thrillers – Facebook Post.)

Trump, Tariffs, and Beer

In a move sending shockwaves through the craft brewing world, President Donald Trump has announced plans to double tariffs on aluminum and steel from 25% to 50%, effective Wednesday, June 4. While the legal basis for this increase rests on Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, which allows tariff hikes for reasons of national security, the real-world impact is poised to hit one of the most iconic and homegrown American industries: craft beer.

Aluminum and the Lifeblood of Cans

Aluminum cans are no longer just the realm of mass-market lagers. Today, approximately 76% of all U.S. packaged beer is sold in aluminum cans, according to the Brewers Association. That number is even higher among newer and mobile-friendly breweries who prefer cans for their portability, recyclability, and faster chilling times.

The challenge? Much of the raw aluminum used in U.S. can production is imported, particularly from Canada, even though the final rolling and manufacturing of cans often happens domestically. With the proposed increase in aluminum tariffs, brewers could soon face a steep hike in canning costs.

(See our article: Tariffs and Taps: How Trump’s Trade Policies Would Impact Craft Breweries)

What Is the Midwest Premium?

The “Midwest Premium” is the benchmark pricing metric for aluminum in the U.S. and has already seen notable spikes following the tariff announcement. As of June 2025:

• The Midwest Premium is hovering around 32 cents per pound, up from 26 cents in early May.

• That increase translates into several cents more per can, which may sound small — but for breweries producing tens of thousands of cases, the extra costs can stack up fast.

Steel Tariffs and the Price of Brewing

While aluminum affects packaging, steel tariffs hit the brewhouse. Most stainless steel kegs used by American breweries come from Europe — particularly Germany, Italy, and the Czech Republic — and brewing equipment is frequently sourced from China and the EU.

With tariffs on steel doubling, breweries looking to expand, replace aging tanks, or even just keep up with maintenance are looking at some painful math. Some estimated impacts:

• New fermenter or brite tank costs could jump by 15–30%.

• Imported kegs could rise from $120 to over $160 per unit.

• Shipping container delays and tariffs could extend wait times on equipment by months.

(See our article: Trouble Brewing: How Trump’s Liberation Day Tariffs Are Impacting Craft Beer)

A Delicate Balance for Small and Independent Breweries

Unlike global macrobreweries, most of the 9,500+ small and independent breweries in the United States operate on tight margins and rely on a complex supply chain. With slim profit windows and rising labor, ingredient, and utility costs, another shock to the system — like spiking materials tariffs — could spell disaster for the most vulnerable producers.

“We source American-made cans, but the aluminum still comes from Canada. This kind of increase puts a big dent in our already-tight packaging budget,” says one Pennsylvania-based brewery owner. “We’re not sure if we’ll need to raise prices, shrink can sizes, or move to bottles. None of those are ideal.”

Domestic Production: A Long-Term Solution?

The Brewers Association has expressed hope that tariff pressure might eventually lead to increased domestic production of steel kegs and brewing equipment. But that shift won’t happen overnight. It requires:

• New factories outfitted for food-grade steel.

• Specialized labor trained in beverage equipment.

• Incentives or subsidies to compete with cheaper foreign alternatives.

Until that infrastructure is in place — likely years from now — brewers will continue to rely heavily on imports.

(See our article: When Canada Attacked Yuengling!)

Could There Be a Reprieve?

There’s still uncertainty. President Trump has delayed or reversed some recent tariffs after backlash. But there’s no guarantee this time. That means:

• Breweries should immediately consult with suppliers to understand cost impacts.

• Strategic changes, like buying in bulk or diversifying suppliers, may soften the blow.

• Advocacy groups like the Brewers Association are actively lobbying for exemptions or policy reversals.

The Bigger Picture: Craft Beer in an Uncertain Economy

With inflation still looming, interest rates high, and operating costs climbing across the board, this tariff announcement adds another pressure point to an already-stressed industry.

Craft beer sales dipped slightly in 2024, with the Brewers Association reporting a 2% decline in volume, though dollar sales remained relatively flat due to price adjustments. But if input costs rise sharply, consumers could soon see higher six-pack prices, or worse, a thinning out of local options as small breweries fold under economic strain.

Final Thoughts: Stay Informed and Support Local

Craft beer isn’t just an industry — it’s a culture, a movement, and a community. Whether you’re a brewer, a beer drinker, or a retailer, now is the time to stay informed and support local.

We at The Beer Thrillers will continue monitoring these tariff changes and their impact on our beloved beer scene. Expect updates, interviews, and breakdowns in the weeks to come.

Voodoo Brewing announced via social media that their Pittsburgh, North Shore location is closing. Tuesday – June 3rd, 2025 will be its last day where you’ll be able to have a chance to go in and grab a beer. They opened August 27th, 2022. (Voodoo Brewing to Open Pittsburgh North Shore Location on August 27th) The Pittsburgh Pub is located on the North Shore at 337 N Shore Dr, Pittsburgh, PA 15212 (in between PNC Park and Acrisure Stadium; formerly Heinz Field).

Several Voodoo Brewpubs closed in 2024 and even already in 2025.

Voodoo North Shore Brewpub Announces Closing

Voodoo Pittsburgh Pub in North Shore Announces Closing

Yesterday via social media at 12:48 PM EST they announced that their brewpub on the North Shore (near the PNC Park and Southern Tier’s location) will be closing, with the “last day to grab a beer with us here” is Tuesday (June 3rd, 2025).

Their post reads:

What a blast it’s been serving the North Shore.

After almost three years, we’ve made the call to close the pub so we can double down on what we do best: brewing world-class beer and making it more available throughout Pennsylvania. This shift will allow us to improve our production, expand distribution, and support our growing network of franchise locations across the country.

We’re entering the final days of our North Shore pub and Tuesday will be the last chance to grab a beer with us at this location. We will be open tomorrow, Monday June 2nd, at 2 PM serving up $5 draft beers.

Thank you to everyone who stopped in and supported us on the North Shore and to our staff who made it happen every single day. If you’ve been meaning to visit, now’s the time.

Come raise a glass and help us close things out right. It’s not good bye, it’s I’ll see you later.

– Voodoo Brewing Co. – Pittsburgh Pub (Facebook Post)

woohoo 30 people no longer have jobs and they gave everyone a 2 day notice during the busiest time of the year. another amazing business choice. ill never forget when they decided to lay off several people on christmas eve and when the owner TRIED to make us take down our pride flags. i hope this brand goes to shit as its clearly on its way there.

V’s down

I was hoping someone would call them out on this one! I don’t understand why companies think that’s ok! I’m sure most of the hiring for summer has already taken place so that leaves these employees in an even tougher spot!

The comments followed up with rumors of what might be going into the location – possibly a “Shorty’s”.

They later posted this, at 6:09 PM via Facebook:

Voodoo Brewing Co. Pittsburgh Pub Talking About Monday’s Hours

We will be open tomorrow, Monday, June 2nd beginning at 2pm for $5 Draft beers. Come see the gang one last time on the North Shore before we close our doors Tuesday Night.

– Voodoo Brewing Co. Pittsburgh Pub (Facebook Post)

Just as before, mixed comments were left. Voodoo Brewing hasn’t responded to any as of my time of writing this (4:00 PM June 2nd).

One comment saying:

I do not understand why anyone would want to waste their time and money for a company that has zero respect for their employees.

For your business to give your employees no notice that they are losing their jobs is absolutely absurd and speaks volumes.

You guys fucking suck, this is a blessing in disguise for your whole crew. They deserve better

Voodoo Brewpubs Closing

Seems to be a rash of Voodoo Brewing locations closing not just in 2024, but continuing into 2025. They are a franchise based brewery, so there is numerous locations. Some as far away (from Pennsylvania) as Reno Nevada (which has closed), which you can read about here: Voodoo Brewing Closes Reno Location.

Voodoo Brewpubs That Closed in 2024 or 2025

As of June 2025, at least six Voodoo Brewing Company locations have closed during 2024 and 2025:

1. Fort Worth, Texas: Opened in July 2024 and closed by late October 2024 due to insufficient revenue to cover operational costs.

2. Fort Myers, Florida: Opened in April 2024 and closed on March 30, 2025, after facing challenges such as bridge and road closures and two hurricanes.

3. Meadville, Pennsylvania (Arch Street location): Closed on January 2, 2025, after over a decade of operation. The company transitioned operations to “The Compound,” their production facility.

4. Grand Prairie, Texas: Originally a Voodoo Brewing franchise, it rebranded as Rios Brewing Co. in early 2025, ending its affiliation with Voodoo Brewing Company.

5. Reno, Nevada: Opened in 2023 and closed May 2024.
6. North Shore, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Opened in 2022 and closing now (June 2025).

Additionally, the Murrells Inlet, South Carolina location announced a closure in December 2024 but remained open due to community support.

News and Updates

When we get more information, we’ll be sure to update this, and possibly make further articles with more news and updates about Voodoo Brewing, this location, and reasons for the closing.

For more information on Voodoo Brewing, the following comes via Untappd.

They are considered a “micro brewery” by Untappd, and listed as located at Meadville, PA. They have 691 unique beers and over 571,000 (just thirty – four shy of 572,000) ratings, with a global average rating of 3.94. As I click and open up their Untappd bio, I am going to assume it was hacked (or possibly an employee about to lose their job or just lost their job that still has access to the Untappd login ability) because this is what it says:

This is Voodoo Brewery, based in Meadville, PA, that opened a location in Valrico, FL. They have horrible beer that they brew themselves and skunk beer from other breweries; the service is atrocious and the vibes are mid at best despite their budget. Do not go to this expansionist corporate hell hole

Before clicking the “read more” you are just shown: “This is Voodoo Brewery, based in Meadville, PA, that opened a location in Valrico, F”

(I am quite curious when this update and change to their Untappd bio was made.)

Starting this weekend, Lakefront Brewery welcomes some of the best local musicians for stripped-down performances on their perfectly-suited patio space.

Current Sounds

It’s been 3 years since Lakefront completed work on their award-winning patio renovation and they’re excited to continue to find ways to celebrate it. Current Sounds is a brand new music series that will feature unique performances from musical artists ready to pull back the curtain and provide a special experience for Lakefront’s patio guests.

“There is a wide variety of eclectic musicians that we’re lucky to have”, says Sean Anderson, local musician and Lakefront Brewery tour guide who handles all music booking for the brewery. “It was fun to offer such a serene and special spot for the artists to get creative and in some cases, push the boundaries of the shows they’re used to playing”.

Current Sounds is free to attend and will occur every Saturday from 2pm to 4pm starting this Saturday May 24^th through August 30^th, with two special Sunday performances: this weekend ahead of Memorial Day, and Labor Day weekend. Friday performances will be from 3pm to 5pm and begin on June 13^th. All Friday performances are a part of It’s Alive presented by the Milwaukee Theater District.

Grab some award-winning beer, a basket of their famous cheese curds, relax along the river, and take in the Current Sounds.

Lakefront’s flagship brew has been around for almost 38 years and has become a defining product for Milwaukee. As an ode to its resilience, Lakefront has produced a limited run of retro 12-packs featuring the original 1987 artwork.

Retro Stein Pitcher

Celebrate the legacy of Riverwest Stein with Lakefront’s one-time-only throwback 12-pack!  Lakefront Brewery co-founders Russ and Jim Klisch delivered the first keg of Riverwest Stein Amber Lager to the Gordon Park Pub on Weil Street for its official release on December 2^nd, 1987. Now called Nessun Dorma, the brothers still celebrate annually at the Riverwest staple for the brewery’s anniversary.

Before the Gordon Park Pub beer release, Jim had taken a photo of Clarke Street looking east with St. Casimir Church in the background to produce table tents for the event. “A quintessential street view of Riverwest”, as Jim puts it, “I think a local artist who went by the name ‘Peggy Riverwest’ converted it into a line drawing which we used at its grand unveiling.”

“It wasn’t until 1990 that I built a one-headed filler so we could start to bottle”, said his brother Russ, Owner and President of Lakefront Brewery, “we had a family friend named Linda Goehre who used the design to create our 16 oz. bottle labels which is more or less what you’ll see on these cans”.

Lakefront is excited to offer this fun tribute to Milwaukee’s favorite craft beer in hopes that it will allow people to feel young again or just look really cool with one in hand. Longtime craft beer advocate Randy Mosher ended up redesigning the Stein label when it moved to 12 oz. bottles. More recently, it was reimagined by Lakefront’s late Brand Manager, Michael Stodola.

“I think back to when I first heard of arguments at bars about our Riverwest Stein being the best beer in town, that’s when I started to realize that we might have something special here,” says Owner Russ Klisch.

Grab a 12-pack of Retro Stein in the same spot you normally get your Riverwest Stein fix. Available one time only, while supplies last!

Thirty years ago, Canada struck at the brewing pride of Pennsylvania. The sudden, unexpected broadside was aimed at Yuengling. At stake was the very definition of “America.”

Yuengling Lager

In 1995, Yuengling wanted to trademark the slogan “America’s Oldest Brewery” for its products. Since 1829, the brewery had been making its beer in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. However, Molson Brewery objected. Founded in 1786 in Montreal, Molson not only argued that it was older than Yuengling, but Yuengling’s use of “America” was “deceptively misdescriptive.” Molson’s attorneys claimed that “America is synonymous North America,” which definitely includes Canada. For Molson, Yuengling was being dishonest with beer drinkers in the United States and around the world.

The Yuengling family was unimpressed. At the time, fifth-generation brewery owner Richard L. Yuengling Jr. quipped, “When Kate Smith stands up and sings ‘God Bless America,’ she’s not singing about Saskatchewan.” Plus, the brewery had been using its slogan since 1957 without any confusion over what country Yuengling was located.

The Trial and Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office took up the dispute. Molson went as far as to introduce a Webster’s dictionary of geography to show that America means North America. Yuengling responded by showing that Molson’s marketing had previously referred to the brewery as Canada’s oldest instead of America’s. Clearly, Molson understood the distinction.

Anyone who has looked at the label of a Yuengling beer lately knows the end of the story. It took nearly four years for the Board to reach its decision. For the board members, there was no evidence that “the purchasing public in the United States would equate the term ‘America’ with North America, rather than the United States of America.” Case closed.

Over twenty years later, all was forgiven. In 2020, Yuengling and Molson announced a joint venture to distribute Yuengling beer farther west… in America.

(To learn more about this dispute and Yuengling’s history, the author recommends Yuengling: A History of America’s Oldest Brewery by Mark Noon)

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.

You can find the brewery maps here:

Scroll down to view the interactive map of all of the currently active breweries in the State of New Jersey. Click on the beer mugs to get locations, names, and other data about each brewery. There is also a list to the left that you can click the name of the brewery and it will bring up their location on the map itself.

Maps of Breweries in the United States

As a service and a resource to all of our readers, we are creating a full list of all of the breweries in the United States. Starting with Maine and working geographically we are planning on getting all 50 states done, as well as all territories and districts, as well as a fun map of all of the breweries we personally have been to. We are then planning to combine them all into one large map of all of America.

Who knows, if I’m not completely brain dead by the endeavor afterwards I might do Canada and Mexico as well, and then work our way through other countries.

I’m sure nearly as soon as I get each state done new breweries will open and old ones will close. So I am going to need some help from everyone to keeping these up to date. If you notice any breweries missing or ones that have closed, please let us know. Thank you so very much.

Map of Breweries in New Jersey

The above is a map of breweries in the state of New Jersey. If you know of any missing (or closed) please let us know by leaving a comment, using our CONTACT US page, or e – mailing us directly at thebeerthrillers@gmail.com

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.

Grandma SueAnn being silly at Sworn Brewing

Happy Mother’s Day

I hope my mom knows she is my best friend and my best beer drinking friend!  We could literally enjoy any beverage together and it would be a great time.  Well, except rum, Grandma SueAnn can’t do rum anymore.

Ben recently joined me on a work trip and Grandma SueAnn was gracious enough to help out with Scarlet while we enjoyed a couple days away before the work trip.  For taking on such a worthy task we, of course, brought her home a selection of beers from our trip.

We started off at RAR Brewing (see my article: May the Fourth Be With You – From a Non a Star Wars Lover at RAR Brewing’s Star Wars Fest), and made our way to Macklin Brewing in the evening.  We thought of her often while perusing the crafts and art for sale amongst the street fair May the 4^th be with you but on the 3^rd.  That street festival would have been Grandma SueAnn’s vibe.  And then in the evening chilling at Macklin Brewery, a completely different tone than the street fair, while chatting with some other brewery goers would have fit her vibe just the same.

Saturday we visited Big Oyster Brewery, Misspillion River Brewing, First State Brewing Company, JAKL Beer Works and Crooked Hammock Brewery.

(See our Instagram to follow along with all of our adventures visiting breweries – The Beer Thrillers on Instagram)

Before we left Big Oyster Brewery I knew we were grabbing a 4pack to go.  We decided to grab Pillars of Dankness.  It is a delicious IPA that comes in at 7% ABV and has a 3.92 rating on Untapped.  Pillars of Dankness is as juicy as it is hazy.  You are completely lost in the hazy IPA takeover but there is an over silky pillow like softness that slowly settles you down to get ready for the next sip.

Grandma SueAnn would have loved First State Brewing.  I am not entirely sure if she would have played Exploding Kittens with us, but sipping that flight and munching on the poutine would have done the trick.  We picked up a crowler of the Vibrant Beats from First State Brewing.  We already knew we were indebted to Grandma SueAnn for helping with Scarlet so we knew this was one of the brews to take home.  She is a lover of the Belgium tripels.  It comes in at 10% ABV and has a 3.94 overall rating on Untapped.  It is described as a “blend of Antique Beats (Barrel Aged Barleywine) and vibrant Thoughts (Barrel Aged Belgium Tripel with Peach).  We split this crowler with her on our second night home and paired it pizza, chicken boli and chef salad.  Vibrant Beats has just a hint of booziness but it quickly grabs your attention with a slight fruity flavor with some maltiness and finishes with a sweet honey taste.  We definitely recommend Vibrant Beats and check out the First State Brewing Company. (See our Instagram post here.)

First State Beer and Boli

We ended our evening at Crooked Hammock.  We walked in thinking this would be a snack and a flight.  Our waitress was so excited about the food and beverage selections we found ourselves ordering a flight, the street corn fries and the Papa Pig Burger.  Our waitress absolutely helped make the visit very exciting but the food was amazing  We stuffed ourselves but still only ate half of the food.  Leftovers are great so don’t worry, we polished those off.  But the flight was awesome.  We ended up going with the Banana Hammock in a 4pack to split with Grandma SueAnn, since we now have purchased more beer.  This 15% ABV Belgian Quadrupel was not boozy tasting and felt very sneaky.  We recommend trying this one AT home kids.  This has a surprising 3.73% rating on untapped, I thought for sure it would have an average of 4.0 or higher.  This one is sneaky and smooth at the same time.  It is, as Josh would call it, a big damn beer #BDB  It has a beautiful amber color and, of course, has some banana flavor to it.  But more of a caramelized banana flavor that still has the spicy Belgian yeast behind it.  I can’t wait to drink this one on a hammock

I know my mom would vibe any each and every one of these breweries with us!  Visiting a brewery is meant to be a fun and comfortable visit. Some of our fav brewery visits together have been Sworn, Troegs, Boneshire Breworks, YAH Brew and Evergrain. Grandma SueAnn has gotten to visit several breweries now with us, her list is ever growing and we definitely want to get her to more, like Fourscore Beer Co, and more in the area!

Grandma SueAnn has been to Our Town Brewery, Boneshire Brew Works, YAH Brew, Troegs Independent Craft Brewing, Ever Grain Brewing, Sworn Brewing, Official BBQ and Brewing; and she has enjoyed them all. Can’t wait for more adventures with Grandma SueAnn at breweries!

Below you can find pictures with Grandma SueAnn at each of the breweries. (The article would obviously be in remiss if we didn’t post pictures of her drinking!) As well as at her favorite place to drink — at home!

Official BBQ

We took Grandma SueAnn here to celebrate a birthday, she loved the beer, the food, and the gifts.

SueAnn at Official BBQ

Boneshire Brew Works

We got to take SueAnn to Boneshire Brew Works while Scarlet was just little yet, she enjoyed a flight and had a wonderful time hanging out with us.

SueAnn, Scarlet, Amy, and Ben at Boneshire Brew Works

Troegs Independent Craft Brewing

SueAnn came with to hang out for a Fall Fest at Troegs Brewing, we had the soft pretzel, the charcuterie and a few tasty fall beers.

Grandma SueAnn at Troegs Brewing for the Fall Fest

YAH Brew

We visited YAH Brew soon after they opened. Grandma SueAnn loved the atmosphere and the beer.

Ever Grain Brewing

SueAnn came out with me for a work event (Alzheimer’s Association) at the Ever Grain Brewing. She is always so supportive… especially if there’s beer involved!

SueAnn and Amy at Ever Grain Brewing

Sworn Brewing

After the work event at Ever Grain, how could we pass up stopping over at Sworn Brewing? Grandma SueAnn had heard so much about it and wanted to get in on those fantastic IPAs!

Grandma SueAnn being silly at Sworn Brewing

Our Town Brewery

Another work event brought Grandma SueAnn and I out to Lancaster. So of course…. Our Town is right there, and we had to get in on it. Grandma SueAnn decided to give the beers ‘bunny ears’ for my picture!

Our beers at Our Town Brewery (and Grandma SueAnn’s ‘bunny ears’)

Drinking at Home

Grandma SueAnn loves to ‘get down’ with some beers at home. After work, we love popping over to Grandma’s, having a beer or two to relax while Scarlet runs about the room playing. Its a great way to unwind from the long day and get to catch up with mom, enjoy some shared beer, and maybe even a great dinner to boot. She’s been featured in a few of my articles for our beer sharing:

• It’s Pumpkin Time! (Grandma SueAnn and Amy Review Zombies and Double Zombies are People Too and Braaaiins!)
• Grandma SueAnn Helps Review More Pumpkin Beers: 2 out of 3 Ain’t So Bad

• Grandma SueAnn and More Beer: Beer Reviews of: Zaktoberfest (KCBC – Kings County Brewers Collective) and Devious Imperial Pumpkin (Fegley Brew Works)
• A Beer Review by Grandma SueAnn (Beer Review: Braaaiins! by Spring House Brewing Company)

Thanks for reading! Take your mom to a brewery, you are the reason she drinks.  Happy Mother’s Day!

• Drink More Beer!
  • Amy

Editor’s Add – On

Ben here, jumping on. I can’t let Amy post a Mother’s Day article without adding how much I love, appreciate, and respect, her hard work, dedication, and effort as a mother. She is an amazing mother and is always so wonderful, loving, caring, and doing a fantastic job of raising Scarlet. As well as being an absolutely fabulous bonus mother to my older three girls. So I want to wish Amy an above and beyond, extraordinary Mother’s Day. And I want to extend that to my own mother, and to everyone else’s mothers who have played such a pivotal role in their lives. As well as to all the mothers out there reading this article. Happy Mother’s Day everyone! Remember, you are the reason she can’t jump on a trampoline anymore – so let her enjoy some good craft beers today!

-Ben
