Did you miss me as much as I missed you? (A Look at Lindgren Craft Brewery)
A look back in the brewhouse at Lindgren Craft Brewery

Did you miss me as much as I missed you?

This whole mom thing IS NOT EASY. I admit, I am struggling at times. How are we supposed to juggle full time careers, kids, chores around the house…..I mean at that point forget about having any sort of social life. I am struggling to find that balance. So, I asked my Boo (Ben) to plan a date night. I just need some adult alone time.

This may have come as a shocker, but we went to a brewery! LOL! Juggling our schedules and Scarlet make it very hard to find an evening to go out together. To say I was excited for an evening at a brewery felt like an understatement. Maybe the excitement was a bit much since I pretty much drove right past Lindgren Craft Brewery! It is inside old Duncannon National Bank, and it feels so niche and cool.

A Look at Lindgren Craft Brewery

Duncannon National Bank (photo courtesy of the Perry County Heritage Trail)

According to PerryCountyHeritageTrail.com the bank was built in 1889.

This was the first building in Perry County to be devoted exclusively to banking. Before the Duncannon National Bank, the safe at the Duncannon Iron Works was used to protect large sums of money. Currency was dispatched from banks in Harrisburg and Carlisle as needed. It was common for merchants and businesses to act as banks and lenders before banks become more common in the 20th century.

If you aren’t careful, you will get lost in the Lindgren tap list. It was tough to pick out that first pint. The variety of styles and flavors is not something all breweries can encapsulate but Lindgren certainly held our attention.

I mean it had been a minute since we got out; but I started out heavy with the “To Infinity and Beyond”, a porter brewed with 86 pounds of Milky Way Bars and 23 pounds of cocoa nibs, and it was served on Nitro. I was drooling just thinking about it, so I went all in. Ben got the Diane & Ross…No Supremes, a black Kolsch. Both were amazing!

The Kolsch was deceiving because in Kolsch fashion it was light and refreshing but it was a black Kolsch. You still got some dark and roasty flavors. It was brewed with additions of Carafa malt for color. The Porter was dark and delicious, everything you expect from a well brewed porter and. I thought at first, I might be overloaded with the milky way flavor, but the sweetness was perfectly balanced out with the full bodied roastyness of the porter.

Our burger at Lindgren

We had to get some food to go along with the delicious brews (Duncannon Ghost Kitchen Food Menu). The Duncannon Ghost Kitchen run by the Old Trail Tavern & Steak is nestled inside the brewery as a separate business but they definitely blend well together (Lindgren Craft Brewery and Duncannon Ghost Kitchen Partnership). We nibbled on the Bavarian Pretzel Flight and the classic Cheeseburger. Do Not think these are your typical brewery food staples, although I hope these will be for Lindgren, The Bavarian pretzel flight wasn’t your typical giant pretzel put on display as a peacocking type of appetizer. They were pretzel bites tossed in some sort of yummy seasoning. Perfect to toss into your mouth with some beer as you are enjoying the evening. The classic cheeseburger was a mix of short rib, chuck and brisket certified Angus beef. chefs kiss

A flight at Lindgren Craft Brewery.

We decided to order a flight next and try some more styles. We picked out 4 easily with Taking Selfies with Turkeys Blonde/Golden Ale, I love Mary Jane IPA, Rebels of the Sacred Heart Red Ale and Of Lords and Ladies a Mild Dark. From the refreshing spark of the Blonde to the caramelly and gentle bitter from the Mild they all went down easily and great with the food we were sharing.

We had fun checking out the old bank vault where they house the drawers for the Keyholders membership. You even track your monthly membership pour with a draft card kept in your drawer in the safe. That is also where they sell their merchandise.

After we got done eating, Mike Lindgren stopped by again (we ran into him just as we were originally sitting down), and invited us along back with Sean and Mark from Liquid Noise Brewing Company (who won our 2024 Battle of the Breweries Tournament).

I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know much about the brewing process. All I know is I’m a chick that likes drinking good quality craft beer. Listening to Mike and the guys from Liquid Noise geek about the craft of brewing beer was still music to my ears. That’s what I see in a brewery; a favorite community spot with an affliction to taking pride in your craft. Perhaps I’ll be requesting Liquid Noise for my next date night with my Benjamin. We do need to get together with them on hosting a big bash for them winning this year’s Battle of the Breweries tournament, why not make more of our date nights kill two birds with one stone.

As Lindgren finally gets the chance to settle in we can’t wait to see the brewery grow. Also, I can’t wait for a sign on the building so maybe I won’t blow by it.

Amy took some fantastic pictures of the Bank Vault inside Lindgren Craft Brewery, where they keep all of the Keyholder Mug Club member stuff as well as their merchandise for sale. She also grabbed some great pics of the brewhouse while Mike showed us around inside there and talked shop. Of course she also grabbed excellent pics of the beers, the atmosphere, and the food at Lindgren Craft Brewery as well. Make sure you follow us on our Instagram to see more great pictures: The Beer Thrillers on Instagram.

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.

Old Soul Brewing Starting up in Waynesboro Pennsylvania
Old Soul Brewing – Waynesboro, Pennsylvania

And the Brewery Count Goes Up

So good to start off the new year with good news. And few things are better than announcing a new brewery is in the works.

The Waynesboro brewing scene is picking up. Announcing today on Facebook that they have secured a building is Old Soul Brewing. They will be located at: 2 South Mulberry Street, Waynesboro, PA, United States, Pennsylvania. The building is currently the Nu – Way Cleaners (a former dry cleaner business in Waynesboro).

Obviously not much is known at this time of their announcement, but we are definitely keeping them on the radar.

Announcement

Old Soul Brewing announces that they have secured a location

Old Soul Brewing made the following announcement via their social media pages earlier today:

Happy new year! The new year brings exciting news for us! Big thanks to Mike and Sharon from Iron Valley Real Estate of Central PA Carlisle Office for finding a home for our project!

Clean out is well underway! Working on drawings and permits to start the buildout. We’re looking to open mid summer this year if all goes well.
Old Soul Brewing – Facebook Post

To go along with their announcement, Lindgren Craft Brewery also made an announcement:

Remember when we told you about our 2-bbl system getting a new home in Waynesboro? Be sure to follow Old Soul Brewing to follow their adventures as they work on getting their brewery open!
Lindgren Craft Brewery – Facebook Post

Its so awesome to see a brewery getting to reuse a local brewery’s supplies and tanks. Good to see Lindgren Craft Brewery’s 2-BBL system going to a good home.

This is what’s so great about the craft beer industry. How teams and breweries work together. Lindgren Craft Brewery gets to upgrade their system, recoup some of the money from their old system, and in the process their old system finds a new home with a starting brewery and helps them out.

You can read more about Lindgren Craft Brewery and how they are moving into a bank in Duncannon Pennsylvania here: Lindgren Craft Brewery – Back the Bank. And – Lindgren Craft Brewing – Duncannon’s Newest Brewery: Inside a Bank.

The Facebook summary for Old Soul Brewing reads:

We are a 2bbl brew house with a six tap tasting room. All styles from clear to thicc will be offered.

He has been an assistant brewer for both Rough Edges Brewing Company in Waynesboro Pennsylvania and for Gearhouse Brewing Company in Chambersburg Pennsylvania.

You can read about our one trip here: Hiking Pen Mar Overlook and Park and Visiting Rough Edges Brewing.

We have reached out to AJ and hope to get more word on the upcoming brewery. You here at The Beer Thrillers will certainly get all the news when we get it!

Thanks For Reading

Thanks for reading everyone, and I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year’s. Hopefully you didn’t tie one on too much last night at your New Years Eve parties… maybe didn’t go straight for all the barleywines or 14% pastry stouts? Maybe chilled and settled for a few pilsners and lagers? Here at The Beer Thrillers HQ we had a a pretty slow day. I had to do some housework, getting a room finished painting, and had to do some computer training for my work. I finished two books to hit my 2022 Book Challenge goal of 110 books.

Scarlet, Amy and I, just stayed inside for New Years Eve, and today – New Years Day – I worked. But its so good to come home to this great news. And fills me with much hope for the 2023 year! I can’t wait to get at it!

Cheers All! And a very Happy New Years!
