The Fuzzy Few Festival 2025

Fuzzy Few Festival 2025

Being able to find the perfect mix of sweet and savory feels like a miracle. This necessarily doesn’t mean that it must include something spicy but that is always an option.

I’ve been told recently that spicy doesn’t have to be scary, so be daring with me if you tend to shy away from the heat.  But I won’t be doing that this evening, ha!

I’m writing on here about paring foods from time to time.  One thing I get stuck on is either find flavors that are matchy or find flavors that are complimenting but different.  One random night after work.  Ya know, when your exhausted but just need some sort of nourishment.  We grabbed Pillar of Beasts from 3 Floyds Brewing at West Connection Beer Vault (we had picked this up in a mix a six, alongside several others, including the recent pumpkin beers I had with Grandma SueAnn) to have with burgers and onions from the grilled and garlicky sauteed green beans.

It. Was. Amazing.

I legit wasn’t picking this out on purpose.  It was an evening where we grabbed beer and some food to shove down our tired gullets to try to make it through the week.  First of all; barleywine.  It’s a favorite so we knew we couldn’t go wrong.  It was the perfect combo of sweet and savory.  The flavors mixed so well until I realized they were all gone.

This comes rocking in at a 13.7% ABV according to Untapped.  This definitely qualifies as a BIG DAMN BEER! #BDB

Pillar of Beasts has a 4.21 overall rating (on Untappd) and is described as “Our latest Barleywine Ale brewed with Salted Caramel, vanilla beans, and cocoa nibs then aged for 12 months in bourbon barrels.  Taste the scrumptiousness.” You can see our post on Instagram about the beer here: Pillars of Beast – The Beer Thrillers on Instagram. (Please be sure to give us a follow on Instagram. Thank you!)

Pairing the sweet barleywine with a savory burger and garlicky green beans was one of the best decisions I’ve made since I decided to date the creator of The Beer Thrillers.

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 17^th, 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.

Martin House Brewing Company Pickle Beer – Best Maid Sour Pickle Beer

Summertime – Will Smith

This is the time of year when I don’t have the urge to drink all of the heavy stouts and porters.  I reach for the IPAs, Kolsch, Lager, and sometimes a Saison.

I’ve already annoyed my boyfriend by playing Will Smith’s Summertime in anticipation of warm weather and cold beers enjoyed outside.  Last year I wrote about summer beers (What is Your Summer Time Go to Beer?) …Which reminds me I need to make a trip to Ever Grain Brewing (…even though we were just there a few weeks ago for an Alzheimer’s Association Social).

I meant to review this beer two years ago.  Best Maid Tropical Punch Pickle Beer by Martin House Brewing Company.  A surprise pregnancy delayed this review because I wanted to fully enjoy the brew myself.  I mean I’d give the baby daddy a few sips if he wasn’t repulsed by pickles. (Editor note: There is just no way in good faith I could take a sip or two of this and comment favorably, so I figure its best altogether to just abstain from the drinking process. Drew and I did have a few sips of the Spicy Pickle Beer by Martin House Brewing Company about four years ago during COVID.)

Untappd Review of the Pickle Beer by Martin House Brewing Company

Pickle Rick

“Ages well” gave me hope I could still give it a successful tasting and review. It comes in with a 4.7% ABV according to Untapped.  It has an overall rating of 3.54, which is obviously biased against pickles.  I mean if you haven’t dreamed of becoming a pickle you really shouldn’t try this beer. (Editor note: Its almost impossible, by law in several countries completely impossible, to even mention pickles and not mention Pickle Rick. Therefore I have included the relevant GIF to satisfy the requisite “Pickle Rick” requirements as per the laws of Turkmenistan, Albania, Uruguay, and the sovereign planet wide governments of the planets Tralfamadore, Bespin, and Uranus.)

I was just trying to find the best segway to Pickle Rick.

Tropical Punch Pickle Beer (TPPB) is simply described as Fruit Punch and Pickle Beer.  Maybe when I let it age two years some of the fruit punch dissolved?  I didn’t get much of the tropical fruit taste but mostly pickle. This is definitely a beer that has pickled flavor to it.  If you aren’t a pickle fan beware!  This reminds me of the joyous feeling that pickles give you when you are replenishing your sodium level under this hot summer weather.  Happy Summer Beer Drinking!

Untappd Stats:

Beer: Best Maid Tropical Punch Pickle Beer
Brewery: Martin House Brewing Company
Style: Sour – Tomato / Vegetable Gose
ABV: 4.7%
IBU: 8

Global Average Rating: 3.54 (as of 6.28.24) out of 1,163 Ratings

Busy Last Few Weeks

Editor Jumping in: It has certainly been a busy last few weeks! On the 15th, we had my father’s surprise 70th birthday party. I would like to thank Amy tremendously for helping my mom and sister set it up and ti went off perfectly. We had a Social or a Mixer up in State College at Champ’s Bar, one in Camp Hill at Ever Grain Brewing Company, and we have had a whole lot more. Just this past week, on Tuesday we were at Troegs Brewing when the Calder Cup was there (see our Instagram for a picture of myself – Ben – drinking from the Calder Cup), and then on Wednesday we were hanging out with Drew at Boneshire Brew Works (and then later afterwards, Drew and I did our video review of the newest Acolyte episode), and then yesterday (Thursday) we stopped in at YAH Brew to drop off a Raffle Basket made by Grandma SueAnn for their event on Sunday for CJ. If you are able to come out on Sunday to YAH Brew, please do! They are hosting an event for CJ to help pay for medical bills after he was hit by a woman running a red light, he has lost part of his leg, and as we all know, medical bills aren’t cheap. So please come out to YAH Brew in Hershey PA from 3 PM to 8 PM on Sunday – June 30th.

There’s even more events and things that have been keeping us busy that I’m forgetting, but suffice to say, there’s been a lot going on. Which is why I am always so appreciative when Amy gets time to write (I try and take Scarlet on long walks to help give Amy the time to write these articles), so its so great to see her get to write and to see what she comes up with and to see what she wants to write about, and to keep her column series going. Its not quite weekly like it used to be, but she is still writing, and being very active behind the scenes with helping to keep this blog humming. So gigantic kudos to her. For all she does for the Alzheimer’s Association, as well as being a mom, a bonus mom, and everything else that she does.

Please make sure to check out her other articles below.

Cheers!

-Ben.

The holidays always bring on a waves of nostalgia for me.  Cooking the Thanksgiving Turkey in Grandma’s roaster and trying our best to mimic her stuffing recipe always makes me smile.  With this feeling it reminded me to finish off my birthday present of the Muppet RAR beers.  I had Part-Ay- Part-Ay, It Wasn’t easy and Kissy Kissy left to celebrate my Birthday and RAR celebrating their 10 year anniversary.

The first grab out of the fridge was the Part-Ay- Part-Ay RAR Brewing.  It is described on Facebook as “Our lactose sour base conditioned over Strawberry, Funfetti Cake, and Pastry Cream.”  It is coming in with a 6% ABV and an overall 4.22 rating on Untapped.  That first sip feels like I got punched in the face with strawberries.  When I realized what character this one was in reference too I practically spit it out with laughter.  This sour beer is a party in your mouth.  It made me second guess there wasn’t more berries in this one and I misread. 

The next grab out of the fridge was the “It Wasn’t Easy” (again by RAR Brewing). And yes, this beer is legit green.  Not the green kind you normally see on St Patrick’s day, but the pastel green version of pink Pepto Bismol. (Almost looked similar to RAR’s “Green Milk“.)  It is described on Facebook as “Our lactose base conditioned over Pineapple juice, Lemon Lime, Coconut, and Pasty Cream.” It comes in with a 6% ABV and a 3.89 overall rating on Untapped.  Alright, alright, alright; I have a little bit of a problem with the Green color.  I have to look away when sipping it.  It reminds me of the purple ketchup that came out in the early 2000s and I couldn’t eat that either.

A few mornings ago, I was desperately searching through the Disney app for something new for Scarlet to watch so I don’t hit that millionth time watch of Encanto anytime soon.  The Muppet Babies was an option to watch.  I quickly remembered these beers again. The flood of memories from always having this as a part of my Saturday AM cartoon watching.   I thought I’d try to introduce it to Scarlet.  I desperately miss the Muppet Babies when I was a kid and I must find a way to watch those with Scarlet. I just know she’ll love them as much as I did growing up. How could she not?

(See Dinosaur Dracula’s Facebook page for video. I’ll also have more YouTube videos of this below.)

I knew there would be improvement from this gem of technology but am I that old person?

The graphics were so different these looked like entirely new characters and where did Summer come from?  I couldn’t watch much of the newer version of muppet babies and Scarlet was busy tearing apart another part of the living room.  I caved and put Encanto on again while Scarlet came and sat in my lap to watch it with me. 

I saved Kissy Kissy for last.  It is described on Facebook as “Our lactose base conditioned over strawberries, cotton candy, Lemon-Lime and Vanilla Ice Cream.”  It has a 6% ABV and comes in with an overall rating of 4.24 on Untapped.  I was afraid with Kissy Kiss and Part-Ay- Part-Ay both being conditioned over strawberries that they would be similar.  But they are entirely 2 different sour beers.  Kissy Kissy is creamy and light while Part-ay Part-ay, like I said above, punches you in the face with Strawberries. 

My favorite of this series is easily Woka Woka Pie. (See my previous article – RAR Brewing Brings the Nostalgia with Muppets Out of Order Series – for more information.) I loved this series because your girl loves sours and the wave of nostalgia.  I am going to recommend all to watch Emmitt Otter’s jug band Christmas.  I read it was on the Disney app and I intend to introduce this one to Scarlet too.  If you are a Jim Henson fan, you will love it.

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:

• MAPS OF BREWERIES

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.
