Fuzzy Few Festival

Previously known as the Fuzzy Few Carnival, this year the Fuzzy Few Organization is renaming and rebranding it as a Festival rather than a carnival.

For the past 56 years it has been the Fuzzy Few Carnival and has happened near or around the middle of August every year. With the Hummelstown Fireman’s Carnival happening in the end of June each year.

Unfortunately, as with most things – COVID – 19 changed a lot of the way events, activities, and things like this work. And with all of that it became harder and harder for the Fuzzy Few Organization (FFO) to be able to secure carnival groups to come help assist their carnival each year. Last year they were unable to have rides and other vendors due to this, but they did procure some inflatable activities and playground stuff for children.

(See last year’s article: Fuzzy Few Organization Presents the Fuzzy Few Festival With Beer Garden 2024.)

So pivoting for 2023 they announced the Fuzzy Few Festival (instead of the Fuzzy Few Carnival).

Now in its second year as the Fuzzy Few Festival, it returns for 2024 from August 12th through August 17th.

It will run from August 11th through August 16th 2025 at Schaffner Park (Boro Park).

Beer Garden

The Beer Garden has moved from the caged in basketball courts to right directly in front of the band stage – and as a bonus – they will allow guests to purchase the alcohol and move about the festival rather than having to stay within the basketball court like last year.

Known beer will be Troegs Independent Brewing (who has graciously donated eight [8] cases of beer to the event) – Perpetual IPA, Sunshine Pilsner, and Graffiti Highway IPA – as well as Blue Moon, Coors Light, and Miller Lite. (More could be announced.) Also on top of beer there is mixed drink, wine, cocktails, and select other beverages.

Pentagon

Unfortunately this year, there will be no Pentagon, as they retired last year after the Fuzzy Few Festival 2024.

Amy and the Alzheimer’s Association

Make sure you stop out to visit Amy at her Alzheimer’s Assocciation stand. (I’ll also be helping out a few nights after work). Raising awareness for Alzheimer’s and for the Alzheimer’s Association.

She will have a stand at the Festival, so you can stop in, talk with her (or us) and hang out, and get information, fliers, pamphlets and information about Alzheimer’s, the Alzheimer’s Association, and their work raising awareness, looking for a cure, charitable work, as well as the upcoming End ALZ Walks.

History of Fuzzy Few Organization

The founding of the Organization, know as the Fuzzy Few, came about during Hummelstown’s 200th Anniversary. It was formed as a Bearded Brothers Club to participate in that celebration. After playing a very active role during the time of fun and merriment, the men in the club decided to apply for an official charter and operate as a non-profit organization in the community of Hummelstown.

The organization’s official emblem was registered and approved on December 29th, 1963. The emblem also indicates the clubs desire to promote goodwill and fellowship not only within the organization but also throughout the community and surrounding areas.

The goal of the organization since its founding has been to establish and support community and youth related programs.

YAH Brew and Cartel Brewing and Blending have teamed up on the newly acquired space in Middletown – the old Tattered Flag location at 1 S Union St, Middletown, PA 17057. (See our recent article about YAH Brewing acquiring the Tattered Flag space.) (Or the Tower Investments press release on it here – YAH Brew Preser.) Cartel Brewing and Blending has also made expansion growth of their own, by announcing their second location – The Safe House – coming to Manheim, PA, opening in late Fall / Winter of 2025.

Cartel Brewing and Blending’s Social Media Announcement

The announcement came via Cartel Brewing and Blending’s social media earlier today:

FUN ANNOUNCEMENT:
For the last few months, we’ve been working on a pretty rad joint venture project with our friends at YAH Brew…
We are stoked to announce that we have the keys and begun the next stage of bringing this amazing space back to life in Middletown, PA!
We will launch a multifaceted community space that will allow us to use the brewery for both of our brands as well as our collaborative new brand and taproom. We also plan to create a cooperative production facility for other breweries to share and expand their brewing and canning needs and foresee a distillery brand arising in 2026….
All in all, we can’t be more excited about this project and partnering with Justin and Aimee from YAH Brew. More details to follow in the coming weeks…..
🍻🍻🍻

YAH Brew and Cartel Brewing and Blending Team Up

Two of Central PA’s most creative brewing minds are joining forces to breathe new life into a familiar location in Dauphin County — and beer fans have plenty to be excited about.

Back in July, YAH Brew made waves when they announced plans to take over the former home of Tattered Flag Brewery at 1 South Union Street in Middletown, Pennsylvania. The 5,000-square-foot space, which had sat idle since Tattered Flag closed its doors in late 2023 due to rising inflation and labor challenges, is now being transformed into something bold, collaborative, and community-driven.

But the story just got even more interesting.

Earlier today, Cartel Brewing & Blending announced via social media that they’re officially partnering with YAH Brew on the Middletown project — turning the solo endeavor into a full-blown joint venture between two of the region’s most experimental breweries.

“For the last few months, we’ve been working on a pretty rad joint venture project with our friends at YAH Brew,” Cartel wrote in a Facebook post. “We are stoked to announce that we have the keys and begun the next stage of bringing this amazing space back to life in Middletown, PA!”

According to both breweries, the revitalized space will serve multiple purposes: an event venue, a collaborative brewing hub, and a future home for a distilling operation.

What to Expect from the New YAH Brew x Cartel Project

  • Event Venue – The updated venue is designed to host a variety of gatherings, from retirement parties and birthdays to corporate events and wedding receptions. With a large open floor plan and Yah Brew’s nostalgic flair, the space promises a unique, relaxed vibe for private functions.

  • Shared Brewing & Canning Facility – In a move that underscores the cooperative spirit of craft beer, the site will also operate as a production facility for both Yah Brew and Cartel Brewing, helping both brands expand their brewing and canning capabilities.

  • Future Distillery in 2026 – Cartel hinted at an exciting long-term vision: the creation of a new distillery brand housed within the same space. While details are still emerging, this points toward a multi-beverage future for the Middletown location.

A Second Life for a Storied Building

For locals and longtime fans of the Central PA beer scene, the building at 1 S. Union Street holds a lot of history. Once home to Tattered Flag Brewery — a veteran-owned favorite that helped put Middletown on the craft beer map — the space now enters a new era with two ambitious and community-focused breweries at the helm.

This collaboration is more than just a shared address; it’s a symbol of what can happen when independent brewers unite, pool their resources, and think beyond the pint glass.

We’ll be keeping tabs on developments as the project evolves — including grand opening dates, beer releases, and any sneak peeks into the distilling side of things.

Want to Book the Event Space?

Looking to host a wedding reception, retirement party, or company event in a unique beer-forward setting? Yah Brew and Cartel are already taking reservations for the event space. Stay tuned for updates via their social media channels or visit their websites directly.

Englewood Brewing Temporarily Closes with Announced Rescheduled Opening in 2025

Englewood Brewing has just announced that they will be (ceasing immediately) closing their restaurant operations. “Temporarily pausing our restaurant operations”, as of Monday – October 14th, 2024. They made the official post on their social media moments ago – (a pre-scheduled posting at 10:00 AM, Monday October 14th, 2024). They edited it shortly after due to comments to include the “ceasing immediately” and defining the date as of Monday, October 14th, 2024 that they will be closing the restaurant operations.

Their Facebook post reads:

🌟 Exciting Changes Coming to Englewood Hershey in 2025! 🌟
To our amazing Englewood Hershey family,

Englewood Brewing – Facebook Post

 

Englewood Hershey Pauses Restaurant Operations for a Refresh: Reopens in 2025 with New Look and Menu

Englewood Hershey, the popular restaurant and music venue in Derry Township, has announced a temporary closure starting today. Located at 1219 West End Ave. in Hershey’s “vibrant” West End, the venue is pausing its restaurant services to undergo significant changes aimed at enhancing its dining experience.

(See: A Taste of The Englewood – Our Review Of The Englewood’s Opening Day)

Why Englewood Hershey is Closing: A Strategic Hiatus

Co-owner Rick Russell shared that this temporary closure is a strategic decision to “evolve” the restaurant into something more in line with their original vision. “Restaurants go through evolutionary periods, and we are experiencing that right now,” Russell explained. “We’re fortunate enough to be able to pause operations and make these changes.”

The plan is to keep the restaurant closed through the start of 2025, but the venue will remain open for private events, live concerts, and comedy nights during the interim. Brewing operations will also continue without interruption, ensuring that Englewood Hershey’s craft beers will still be available to guests.

A Reboot for Englewood Hershey: What Changes Are Coming?

Englewood Hershey originally opened its doors in 2020, housed in a historic barn, as part of a multimillion-dollar project. The establishment quickly became a staple in the Hershey area for its combination of great food, craft beer, and live music. But, according to Russell, the experience has drifted towards a more casual atmosphere than initially intended.

Russell and business partner Jeff Sharp, who operate under Loto Station, LLC, are committed to refining Englewood’s identity. The reboot will include changes to the dining room, a refreshed menu, and an overall more upscale vibe.

Russell emphasized that these updates are necessary to keep Englewood relevant in the fast-paced restaurant industry. “It’s a reboot, and I think it’s part of the evolutionary change of restaurants,” he said. “We want to make it stronger and more customer-focused.”

Englewood Hershey’s Brewing Continues – And So Does Roasting

Though the restaurant is on hiatus, guests can still visit Englewood Roasting Company. This establishment, located at the former Cocoa Beanery on the same property, will remain open with extended hours and an expanded lunch menu during the restaurant’s closure.

Past Closures and Challenges: Water Damage Issues

(See: The Englewood Re-Opens)

Englewood Hershey has had to close twice in the past due to water damage. In late December 2022, a cold snap caused pipes to burst, forcing a seven-week closure. A year prior, a faulty sprinkler system also flooded parts of the venue, resulting in a temporary shutdown. Despite these setbacks, Russell and his team remain committed to ensuring the long-term success of the venue.

More Information on The Englewood

As per Untappd; The Englewood (Englewood Brewing) is a micro brewery from Hummelstown, Pennsylvania. They have 73 unique beers and over 15,000 ratings with a global average rating of 3.68 (as of 10.14.24). Their Untappd description reads: Englewood Brewing is an independent craft brewery that produces sought after brews poured fresh from the taps, in cans and crowlers. The restaurant serves American fare variations out of the state-of-the-art kitchen.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Volunteer for the Fuzzy Few Organization.)

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

Fuzzy Few Festival

(Editor Ben piping up here)

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

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

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

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

Fuzzy Few Festival 2024

Fuzzy Few Organization Presents the Fuzzy Few Festival With Beer Garden 2024

Fuzzy Few Festival

Previously known as the Fuzzy Few Carnival, this year the Fuzzy Few Organization is renaming and rebranding it as a Festival rather than a carnival.

For the past 55 years it has been the Fuzzy Few Carnival and has happened near or around the middle of August every year. With the Hummelstown Fireman’s Carnival happening in the end of June each year.

Unfortunately, as with most things – COVID – 19 changed a lot of the way events, activities, and things like this work. And with all of that it became harder and harder for the Fuzzy Few Organization (FFO) to be able to secure carnival groups to come help assist their carnival each year. Last year they were unable to have rides and other vendors due to this, but they did procure some inflatable activities and playground stuff for children.

(See last year’s article: Fuzzy Few Organization Presents the Fuzzy Few Festival With Beer Garden 2023.)

So pivoting for 2023 they announced the Fuzzy Few Festival (instead of the Fuzzy Few Carnival).

Now in its second year as the Fuzzy Few Festival, it returns for 2024 from August 12th through August 17th.

It will run from August 12th through August 17th 2024 at Schaffner Park (Boro Park).

Beer Garden

The Beer Garden has moved from the caged in basketball courts to right directly in front of the band stage – and as a bonus – they will allow guests to purchase the alcohol and move about the festival rather than having to stay within the basketball court like last year.

Known beer will be Troegs Independent Brewing (who has graciously donated eight [8] cases of beer to the event) – Perpetual IPA, Sunshine Pilsner, and Graffiti Highway IPA – as well as Blue Moon, Coors Light, and Miller Lite. (More could be announced.) Also on top of beer there is mixed drink, wine, cocktails, and select other beverages.

Pentagon

The band Pentagon are hosting their “farewell tour” and one of their final gigs will be the closing day of the Fuzzy Few Festival 2024. This might be your last chance to catch them in action, so be sure to come out Saturday August 17th. The festival runs until 11:30 PM.

Amy and the Alzheimer’s Association

Make sure you stop out to visit Amy at her Alzheimer’s Assocciation stand. (I’ll also be helping out a few nights after work). Raising awareness for Alzheimer’s and for the Alzheimer’s Association.

She will have a stand at the Festival, so you can stop in, talk with her (or us) and hang out, and get information, fliers, pamphlets and information about Alzheimer’s, the Alzheimer’s Association, and their work raising awareness, looking for a cure, charitable work, as well as the upcoming End ALZ Walks.

Band Lineup

The bands lined up for the First Inaugural Fuzzy Few Festival are:

  • Monday (August 12th) – Honey Pump
  • Tuesday (August 13th) – Smooth Like Clyde
  • Wednesday (August 14th) – Class Act
  • Thursday (August 15th) – Luv Gods
  • Friday (August 16th) – Soul Solution
  • Saturday (August 17th) – Pentagon

History of Fuzzy Few Organization

The founding of the Organization, know as the Fuzzy Few, came about during Hummelstown’s 200th Anniversary. It was formed as a Bearded Brothers Club to participate in that celebration. After playing a very active role during the time of fun and merriment, the men in the club decided to apply for an official charter and operate as a non-profit organization in the community of Hummelstown.

The organization’s official emblem was registered and approved on December 29th, 1963. The emblem also indicates the clubs desire to promote goodwill and fellowship not only within the organization but also throughout the community and surrounding areas.

The goal of the organization since its founding has been to establish and support community and youth related programs.

Rubber Soul Brewing to Open New Taproom Saturday

This Saturday – June 22nd, 2024, Rubber Soul Brewing is set to open their brand new taproom on North Hanover Street, in Hummelstown PA.

After quite a while building the brand new building (and not without some town controversy) the opening is right around the corner. The new taproom will also host their brewery in the lower level (visible from the giant parking lot). Their original location will now just be a full restaurant and taproom. (See: A Sneak Peek at Rubber Soul Brewery.)

Original Location

Rubber Soul Brewing was originally intending to open their first location in Hummelstown around March of 2020, but with the pandemic, things got pushed back, and they finally held their grand opening in October of 2020. Their current location is in the old Hummelstown Police and Borough Building, located at 136 S Hanover St, Hummelstown, PA 17036.

The current plan for the original location is that they have removed the brewing production from the location to their new brewery facility and taproom, and extending the seating and restaurant.

New Location

Rubber Soul Brewing’s New Taproom Interior (photo courtesy of Rubber Soul Brewing)

The new location is located at 17 N Hanover St, Hummelstown, PA 17036, just 0.3 miles north of their current taproom (on the same street). The new facility took over an old warehouse that formerly sat on the property, as well as Maritza’s House of Style, which they had removed for extra parking. The new taproom has their brewing facility on the lower level, and the upper level features a deck and patio area that faces the 7-11 across the street and some abandoned buildings / businesses.

Hummelstown is currently in the midst of a big tourism push, including the mayor, the governor, and other officials and board members (some of which are involved with Rubber Soul Brewing). At a town meeting where they got permission to bulldoze the Maritza House of Style (despite having full ownership technically as per law at the time), Rubber Soul Brewing stated that their parking lot would be usable by the public for events in town including the parades, carnivals, as well as parking for other Main Street square activities (2nd Friday’s, Memorial Day, etc.)

Opening on Saturday – June 22nd, 2024

A quick map from their current location to their new location: From Rubber Soul Brewery to Rubber Soul Brewing Company’s New Taproom. Their current location is still not listed on Google Maps. The old warehouse which was removed was listed as 17 North Hanover Street. As per their Facebook post their brewery’s address will be “21 North Hanover Street”.
Rubber Soul Brewing Company was originally a brewery located in Salisbury Maryland. They were bought and are now owned by Ghost Brewing LLC. They were bought whole-stock, meaning the equipment, recipes, and social media passcodes and usage were all part of their purchase.

More Information on Rubber Soul

The following comes via Untappd.

They are listed as a brew pub from Hummelstown, PA. They have 123 unique beers and over 51,000 ratings, with a global average rating of 3.77 (as of 6.21.24). Their Untappd description reads: “We are pumping the air back into the tires of Rubber Soul Brewing Company. New location, new owners, new (and familiar) beer…same old sOul! In this world of instant gratification, superficial “likes” and followers instead of friends, we think it’s more important than ever to find your sOul. See, more and more often, people are so focused on doing what’s ‘right’ by someone else’s standards, obsessed with how other view them that they forget who they are. They give and give and give, follow all of the rules and do all of the ‘right’ things, until one day they wake up and realize their empty. Spend 5 minutes on social media and you will see countless bright pictures of smiling faces, but how many of us are genuinely satisfied? We’re talking deep, within your sOul, fire blazing, satisfied. At Rubber Soul, our mission is to refuel each and every sOul that walks through our doors. Our craft beer and local vibe is the end result of people who decided to just go for it and follow their passion, regardless of the opinion of others. We look forward to welcoming you to our brewery. No judgements. No impossible standards. #NoFilter. All that we require is that you do a little sOul searching.”

]]> 14925 YAH Brew and Desserts Pairing https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/12/13/yah-brew-and-desserts-pairing/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=yah-brew-and-desserts-pairing Thu, 14 Dec 2023 01:40:40 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=13268 Cupcake and Beer

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

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

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

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

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

Nachos and Imprint’s Dream Bars

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

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

YAH Brew’s crowler.

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

]]> 13866 Hummelstown Doesn’t Deserve Maritza https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/09/10/hummelstown-doesnt-deserve-maritza/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hummelstown-doesnt-deserve-maritza Mon, 11 Sep 2023 03:46:13 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=12389 Snack Time
Minimum Security by Ever Grain Brewing Company (…and popcorn from Maritza’s House of Style Grand Opening Celebration)

It’s that time of night.  What snack can I get into?  The leftover popcorn from Martiza’s new shop’s grand opening celebration.  I decided to pair my snack with an Ever Grain favorite, Minimum Security Hazy New England, IPA.  It weighs in with a 6.8% ABV and an overall Untapped rating of 4.05.  It goes perfect with the leftover popcorn.

Maritza’s House of Style – Grand Opening

My big sister Maritza DeJesus Patterson was celebrating the opening of her new hair salon with all her clients and supporters as she fought to keep her business in Hummelstown the past 3 years.  The entire newly remodeled and opened hair salon was packed as well as the surrounding yard and sidewalk. 

The backyard of 400 East Main Street is filled with tables of snacks, balloons and fun stuff for the kids.  The driveway is taken up by the trailer from Sweet Dawgs serving up ice cream to party goers.  Inside you find free raffles to enter, cupcakes, cookies and waters. 

Maritza’s old hair shop – the original Maritza’s House of Style (located across from the 7-11 on South Hanover Street, in Hummelstown PA)

I sip my hazy but light IPA as I recall my May 11 hair appointment with Maritza at the old shop.  The dye was in the hair and we had full on started chatting away.  All of the sudden we heard a loud bang.  It was a car accident right outside the shop.  Without even thinking Martiza and Liz both sprint across the street to check on both cars involved in the accident.  They stay on the scene until emergency personal arrive to assess the situation.  Liz comforting a hysterical driver and Maritza clearing the road for traffic to continue to move.

I took a moment and looked around, even peaking my head outside the shop covered in dye, and dozens of people gawking.  I’ve been involved in accidents several times before, not that many stop to check on you.  Maritza will always check on you.  Always.

Beer and Snacks

Specialty cookies from Maritza’s Grand Opening (photo courtesy of Brownhaven Photography LLC)

I polish off my pop corn and dive into the cookie from Maritza’s too.  It helps settle the rest of the delicious IPA.  Minimum Security is described on Untapped as a full bodied hazy IPA, dry hopped with Chinook, Simcoe, and a touch of Citra.  Flavors and aromas of mango, and orange creamsicle with a soft finish.

As I’m reminiscing about Maritza’s old shop I remember it felt like cheers.  And I chuckled thinking about running into my first grade teacher, Mrs. McGarvey, who also gets her hair done at Maritza’s.  Maritza managed to move her own ‘Cheers’ to her new shop. 

I’m all out of snacks and I’m out of beer.

]]> 12389 Fuzzy Few Organization Presents the Fuzzy Few Festival With Beer Garden 2023 https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/08/12/fuzzy-few-organization-presents-the-fuzzy-few-festival-with-beer-garden-2023/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=fuzzy-few-organization-presents-the-fuzzy-few-festival-with-beer-garden-2023 Sat, 12 Aug 2023 13:01:07 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=12225
Fuzzy Few Festival by the Fuzzy Few Organization (FFO)

Fuzzy Few Festival

Previously known as the Fuzzy Few Carnival, this year the Fuzzy Few Organization is renaming and rebranding it as a Festival rather than a carnival.

For the past 55 years it has been the Fuzzy Few Carnival and has happened near or around the middle of August every year. With the Hummelstown Fireman’s Carnival happening in the end of June each year.

Unfortunately, as with most things – COVID – 19 changed a lot of the way events, activities, and things like this work. And with all of that it became harder and harder for the Fuzzy Few Organization (FFO) to be able to secure carnival groups to come help assist their carnival each year. Last year they were unable to have rides and other vendors due to this, but they did procure some inflatable activities and playground stuff for children.

So pivoting for 2023 they announced the Fuzzy Few Festival (instead of the Fuzzy Few Carnival). It will run from August 14th through August 19th 2023 at Schaffner Park (Boro Park). They will also be having a beer garden for the first time, held in the fenced in basketball courts at the lower end of the park by the Olde Antique Factory.

The beer garden will be 21+ only and will feature several brands and breweries for sale.

Amy and the Alzheimer’s Association

Make sure you stop out to visit Amy at her Alzheimer’s Assocciation stand. (I’ll also be helping out a few nights after work). Raising awareness for Alzheimer’s and for the Alzheimer’s Association.

She will have a stand at the Festival, so you can stop in, talk with her (or us) and hang out, and get information, fliers, pamphlets and information about Alzheimer’s, the Alzheimer’s Association, and their work raising awareness, looking for a cure, charitable work, as well as the upcoming End ALZ Walks.

Band Lineup

The bands lined up for the First Inaugural Fuzzy Few Festival are:

  • Monday (August 14th) – Honey Pump
  • Tuesday (August 15th) – Smooth Like Clyde
  • Wednesday (August 16th) – Class Act
  • Thursday (August 17th) – Luv Gods
  • Friday (August 18th) – Soul Solution
  • Saturday (August 19th) – Pentagon

History of Fuzzy Few Organization

The founding of the Organization, know as the Fuzzy Few, came about during Hummelstown’s 200th Anniversary. It was formed as a Bearded Brothers Club to participate in that celebration. After playing a very active role during the time of fun and merriment, the men in the club decided to apply for an official charter and operate as a non-profit organization in the community of Hummelstown.

The organization’s official emblem was registered and approved on December 29th, 1963. The emblem also indicates the clubs desire to promote goodwill and fellowship not only within the organization but also throughout the community and surrounding areas.

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.
