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.

Those Beers With My Mom (Happy Mother’s Day) https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/05/11/those-beers-with-my-mom-happy-mothers-day/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=those-beers-with-my-mom-happy-mothers-day Sun, 11 May 2025 12:46:35 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16336 Those beers with my Mom

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 4th be with you but on the 3rd.  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!

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:

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

Map of New Breweries We Visited in 2024 https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/01/07/map-of-new-breweries-we-visited-in-2024/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=map-of-new-breweries-we-visited-in-2024 Tue, 07 Jan 2025 18:18:17 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15836 Map of New Breweries We Visited in 2024

This is a map of all the “new to us” breweries we visited in 2023. And by this I mean the physical locations. (So some of these will be breweries I’ve been to before, but a new location of theirs, examples would be satellite locations like the ZeroDay Outpost at MidTown Cinema.)

This list is Ben’s first time visits (mostly visited with Amy, and then later Scarlet).

Most of these breweries are in our home state of Pennsylvania and then stretch from our travels to Richmond Virginia and Maryland, West Virginia, and our trip up to the fingerlakes and hiking at Watkin’s Glen and Buttermilk Falls. I almost didn’t want to include the last brewery I visited in 2024 – BrewDog Las Vegas, just because it reshapes the map so much. (And since I visited five Las Vegas breweries already in 2025, I almost just wanted to tack it onto the 2025 map. But alas, that would be lying and cheating. So here is the map as presented.)

A map of the 2024 Breweries We Visited

The Map of New Breweries We Visited in 2024

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.

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.

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.

At the Fuzzy Few Festival: A YAH Brew and a Schmidt’s Sausage https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/08/29/at-the-fuzzy-few-festival-a-yah-brew-and-a-schmidts-sausage/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=at-the-fuzzy-few-festival-a-yah-brew-and-a-schmidts-sausage Fri, 30 Aug 2024 01:00:22 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15482

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.

Did you miss me as much as I missed you? (A Look at Lindgren Craft Brewery) https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/06/09/did-you-miss-me-as-much-as-i-missed-you-a-look-at-lindgren-craft-brewery/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=did-you-miss-me-as-much-as-i-missed-you-a-look-at-lindgren-craft-brewery Mon, 10 Jun 2024 02:05:07 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15128

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.

Pictures Amy Took Inside Lindgren Craft Brewery

(Editor Ben Note: I didn’t quite know how to work these other pictures into the article better, with their size and everything, so I am including them all into this section.)

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.

End Notes

(Stolen from the previous column Amy wrote, I feel this is still applicable here as well unfortunately.)

(This is Amy’s first column back after a while. Busy with Scarlet, life,  and everything in general, its great to see her jumping back into her Personal Column series again. We have sorely been missing her weekly posts here on the blog, so its so wonderfully great to have her back. You can find her full list of ‘Weekly’ Personal Column series below.)

The Alementary Announces Their Closure https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/01/29/the-alementary-announces-their-closure/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-alementary-announces-their-closure Mon, 29 Jan 2024 20:00:00 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=13708 The Alementary Set to Close

This one hurts. They were an absolute favorite since we first got to visit. Basically being our first date (Amy and myself). We had even saved a bottle of their Figgy Pudding to be the push present for Amy when Scarlet was born. We came back then soon after with Scarlet, and got to watch the Bengals beat the Bills in the playoffs there.

So needless to say, despite being a nearly three hour drive – they were a favorite brewery for us that holds a lot of dear memories for us here at The Beer Thrillers.

So we are very deeply saddened to hear of their upcoming closure.

In Their Own Words

Their announcement says everything very succinctly, so I will post their Facebook announcement here:

Dearest Friends!

All experiments must come to an end. Otherwise there are no results, right? Over the weekend we’ve had to make the very difficult decision to close our operations. Our taproom will remain open as we manage our way through this process. See below for more info!

What happened?

It’s a long story best told over a beer, but here’s the TL;DR: we had an agreement with a buyer for our contract business and that deal fell through. That, plus continued softness in the distro market, a not great 4q2023, and downward regional industry trends has left us in an irreconcilable situation. Our biggest error was one of timing, and trusting.

We are proud of what we’ve done. This is not undertaken lightly. We’re proud of the space you’ve all helped us to create. We never expected to gain family, but here we are. And we’ll stand behind every drop of beer we made. Except for Project 18. That was just a nightmare.

The taproom will remain open the usual hours while we work through all this! To celebrate our 8-year run we are having a Pay The Lawyers special: $5 pints, $3 shorts, $25 lager and Random cases, $35 everything else. All bottles $10 so you can get your holiday shopping done real real early.

The Moral of the Story

No business lasts forever, and you just gotta be okay with that. We’re sad, but it’s not a weepy sad. Continue supporting your local breweries, and not just the hypey ones everybody thinks you have to like. Find unique spaces doing unique things and support them. As for us? We’ll see you on the flip side.

The Alementary is at The Alementary – Facebook Post

As you can see from the comments and response to their announcement, the brewery will be nearly missed by the Hackensack, and the greater New Jersey brewing community.

 

We wish the best to all involved and all of their future endeavors. We sincerely wish nothing but the absolute best for all involved, this was a piece of the community that will be sorely missed.

Thank you for all the memories!

Grandma SueAnn Helps Review More Pumpkin Beers: 2 out of 3 Ain’t So Bad https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/10/29/grandma-sueann-helps-review-more-pumpkin-beers-2-out-of-3-aint-so-bad/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=grandma-sueann-helps-review-more-pumpkin-beers-2-out-of-3-aint-so-bad Mon, 30 Oct 2023 03:58:13 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=12796 Sunday Visit to Grandma SueAnn’s

Within five minutes of arriving at Grandma SueAnn’s house; she smiled and asked if I was ready for pumpkin beer?!

Does a bear sh1t in the woods?  Hell, yes, I want a pumpkin beer!  I almost launched the food and small baby spoon I was using to feed Scarlet with at my Mom’s head.  Instead, I just smiled at her like the wild-eyed maniac that motherhood has turned me into.  She was talking about diving back into the pumpkin beer haul from last Sunday.

(Last week Amy got to spend time with her mom – Grandma SueAnn – and they dived into the first part of their pumpkin beer haul: Pumpkin Beer Review with Grandma SueAnn – Abomination Brewing: Forbidden Pumpkin, Greater Good Brewing: Giant Pumpkin, and Pizza Boy Brewing: Sunny Side Up Double Coffee Pumpkin.)

Diving Back Into the Pumpkin Haul

Nightmare on East Elm Street – a Pumpkin Ale – by Conshohocken Brewing Company

I let Grandma SueAnn pick the glassware, so go ahead and peep on the cute bear glass.  If you think that is silly just wait until we get to beer #2.  Her pick was the Nightmare on East Elm Street, a pumpkin/yam beer, by Conshohoken Brewing Company.  This is a 6.66% ABV…wait a sec, was that done on purpose?  I see what you did there. 

Tamatoa sees what you did there….

NEES has an overall untapped rating of 3.64. It is described as “A seasonal homage to our original brewery in Conshohocken, we bring you Nightmare on East Elm Street Pumpkin Ale.  Brewed with honey malt, pumpkin puree, lactose and spices.  Nightmare on East Elm Street is pumpkin pie in a glass.  This autumn ale is best paired with candy corn.”  We both thought that the pumpkin flavor was pretty light and finished as a pilsner.  A few on Untapped agree.  Maybe one of the other flavors mellowed out the pumpkin flavor?  It was a great light beer and went down very smoothly. 

An Untappd check-in by a random person on Untappd

Something Something Pumpkin

Something Pumpkin by Eight & Sand Beer Co.

Without hesitation Grandmas SueAnn is popping up to pick out the second beer.  Again, I let her pick.  It’s fun to watch her read about the beers and get to know which ones she likes and which ones she doesn’t.  I love that I get to split beers with my mom, watch my daughter play and watch football at the same time. 

Grandma SueAnn arranged this beer photography. I think she’s got a future in it.

That first beer was only a 6.66% ABV but Grandma SueAnn is posing the bears with the beer.  I told you to watch out for the pic of beer #2.  Aren’t they cute? She picked the Something pumpkin by Eight and Sand.  This is a pumpkin/yam beer coming in at 6%.  It is described as “Our pumpkin cream ale treats your taste buds to notes of pumpkin pie crust, warm cinnamon, smooth vanilla, and autumn spices.”  SP has an overall rating on 3.90 on Untapped.

We both agreed Something Pumpkin is nice and light but filled with flavor at the same time.  It has a sweet flavor but not the overly sweet some cream ales can have.  Maybe it should have been classified as a cream ale and not a pumpkin/yam beer.

An Untappd review of Something Pumpkin by Eight & Sand Beer Co. by someone on Untappd

Some of us pumpkin lovers don’t settle for subtle fall flavors.

….Some of us being myself and Grandma SueAnn.

Only the best pumpkin, only the most truest of pumpkin flavors for us.

I know you will never believe this, but Grandma SueAnn turned me down to split the 3rd and final beer of the pumpkin beer stash.  She seemed sleepy as Scarlet was keeping her on her toes.  Don’t worry, we will add more seasonal beers to the stash. 

I’m sure this also won’t be the last time you’ll be seeing Grandma SueAnn reviewing some beers with us here on The Beer Thrillers; so please let us (and by extension her) know if you are enjoying her beer reviews. I am getting a kick out of doing these reviews with her and sharing them on our blog.

Baby’s First Ffej https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/07/09/babys-first-ffej/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=babys-first-ffej Mon, 10 Jul 2023 01:42:00 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=11915
Scarlet’s first Ffej of July

Baby’s First Ffej

I never thought I’d bring a baby to a beer fest/local band concert festival, but here I am stroller and baby in tow.  Let me back up quick.  We quickly noticed if a song was playing somewhere, especially any singing and dancing on TV Scarlet’s face would light up.  I like to think it was all the concerts I attended, including last year’s Ffej of July when she was in the womb.  But I think it really started with Ben would sing to her through my belly every night. 

Scarlet’s first Ffej of July (Friday Night, July 7th, 2023)

(You can see this, and other videos we have at our YouTube Channel here – The Beer Thrillers on YouTube.)

For the newbies; what is Ffej?  As described on the Ffej of July page “Ffej of July began its life as a modest party thrown by myself and my wife, Brandi, at our residence. The impetus for the event took shape when I realized we had a huge yard and did nothing with it other than cut the grass. So, in 2003, FOJ was born and has since become the infamous epic backyard bash we all know and love!”

(Note – this is a attendance by knowing event; you can only attend if you know someone who knows someone. If you know Ffej or know a good friend of Ffej’s you are welcome to come. This isn’t a free for all anyone can come right out the gate frat party.)

Ffej of July – Saturday, July 8th, 2023

At the last minute we brought my mom, so it was also Grandma SueAnn’s first FOJ.  With a bunch of classic rock cover bands and the entire vibe of FOJ I new my mom would love hanging out.  We got to sample beer from Bailey Mountain Brewery, Covered Bridge, Troeg’s Rusty Rail, Pizza Boy and Shy Bear.  The Bender’s Barleywine from Pizza Boy was most excellent.  It comes in on Untapped with a 11% ABV and a 4.09 rating.  Again, the Untapped score is way to low of a score.  This malty sweet beverage dances over your tongue and the caramel finish hides that sneaky 11%.  Then on Saturday we got to sample brews from Fluffy Bunny, Shy Bear, Meduseld Meadery, PA Alers, Troegs Brewing Company, and Fahnstock & Baer. (We didn’t keep a perfect list of what all we drank over the weekend, we were far too busy enjoying the music, hanging out with friends, chatting, chilling with Scarlet, enjoying the grub, and having an awesome time to worry about checking in everything we got to try on Untappd.)

Solar Federation ending Ffej of July 2023

Even though the vibe is laid back, as we all sit in our lawn chairs, Scarlet got to bang her head with a quiet riot cover and then she mellowed out to the Solar Federation.  If you are lucky enough to get invited to this private event (and remember – don’t show up uninvited – only show up if you are invited) don’t forget your lawn chair!  I hope this helped you catch the FOJ!

Drink More Beer!

Happy Father’s Day https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/06/18/happy-fathers-day/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=happy-fathers-day Mon, 19 Jun 2023 01:21:46 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=11721
Happy Father’s Day Everyone!

Happy Father’s Day

I hope everyone gets to spend some quality time with their father or a father figure in their life.  I happened to find a good one for my daughter.  Ben loves to be able to be the one to tuck Scarlet into bed each night and tell her how much he loves her. 

I grew up with a dad that worked hard to provide for the family and made sure to tell me I was loved.  He taught me how to ride a bike and how to drive a car.  Most importantly he taught me not to take crap from anyone.  He spent endless hours teaching me how to pitch in softball and practice soccer.  It’s a shame that man doesn’t exist anymore.

Ben wasn’t quite ready for the picture, but still. Happy Father’s Day from the Full Pint and the Half Pint

Breakfast Brunch

When I thought of what I wanted to do for Ben, besides a present, I immediately thought we’d take him out for breakfast.  It’s our favorite meal to eat out.  My very first thought was it must be Sunday Brunch at YAH Brew. 

Before even getting there, I knew we’d order the Breakfast Tots.  I’ve been dreaming of them since last visit (It Was All a Dream – Our Visit to YAH Brew)  but I still wanted to try something else.  Bacon breakfast tacos were a solid choice.  Neither one of these disappointed us and we enjoyed every morsel. 

Country Club Brewing’s “The Easton Assassin” and YAH Brew’s “Pup Pup Pass” (…and Scarlet’s Formula)

Both of these brunch choices perfectly complimented the Pup pup pass, a fruited sour inspired by the “liquid marijuana” cocktail, and the Country Club The Easton Assassin, an Imperial Stout.   The Pup pup pass is an 8% fruited sour that is deceiving with it’s very clear hue and the powerful fruit taste socks your tastebuds.  Also, conditioning on the rum soaked barrels gives it a bit of a boozy flavor. 

After we licked our fingers from the yummy brunch, we decided to finish by splitting an IPA together.  Mom’s Spaghetti is a 5.8% Mid west style IPA.  It has a bit of green to the taste but it is every bit of your delicious Hazy IPA we all have been enjoying nonstop.  YAH Brew is always an excellent choice for a Sunday Brunch but it was even better to be able to celebrate Scarlet’s first Father’s Day with Ben!

A Great Father’s Day

We had to peace out quick to get ready for a family BBQ.  We got to celebrate Ben’s dad and Ben’s brother-in-law for Father’s Day!  Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s out there!

Ready To Kick Off The Summer https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/05/21/ready-to-kick-off-the-summer/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ready-to-kick-off-the-summer Mon, 22 May 2023 03:38:46 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=11475
Beers on a patio, on a gorgeous sunny day, with friends and family – Lets Get Summer Started!

Let’s Kick Summer Off

In many ways Memorial Day weekend is the unceremonious start to summer.  Most consider June 21, summer solstice as the start of summer.  I have also been looking at it as a way to make a difference for The Longest Day (Alzheimer’s Association – The Longest Day) for the Alzheimer’s Association.  The Beer Thrillers are looking to work on a Home Brewers Event to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association for The Longest Day for 2024.  Any ideas for venues, vendors, and / or ways to fund raise for the event don’t hesitate to reach out – thebeerthrillers@gmail.com. We can’t wait to combine our passion for craft beer with an awesome fundraising event for a worthy cause.

The Start of Summer on Alderaan – The Five Day Forecast

But first, we need to enjoy the beautiful Sunday we had today.  We checked out the local board game yard sale in Harrisburg held by Harrisburg Board Game. (Harrisburg Board Game Sale Day Event.) The yard sale was a bit of nostalgia games and lots of skill and strategy level games.  From the Facebook event for their annual Harrisburg Board Game Day 2023 “This exciting event, held once a year, is designed to bring people of all ages and skill levels together to enjoy the thrill of board games in our capital city.” 

The best part was Scarlet just woke up from a nap when we pulled up so she was in the best mood.  It felt like our little 6 – month – old baby was greeting and smiling at everyone there.  Everyone was friendly and happy to discuss anything about board games.  We picked out a game to play with the kids and a game Ben used to play with friends. (I picked out Monkey Lab for the girls to play, and Ben picked out Game of Thrones: The Board Game.)

(Game of Thrones: The Board Game – 2nd Edition and Monkey Lab.)

Then we swung by YAH Brew in Hershey.  We had both been drooling over the new food offerings and finally made it work with our schedule for brunch today!  They do brunch every Sunday 9am-5pm.  What drew our attention to the brunch offerings was their Facebook post about their “Mornin’ Smash”, described on the menu as “Two ground sirloin + breakfast sausage patties topped with sausage gravy and cheddar cheese on a butter biscuit bun” But when we got their we quickly decided on the Loaded Tots since this description was equally as drool worthy “Platter of crispy tots, topped with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage gravy and cheddar cheese.  We split the tots and each got a beer.  Ben did the Imprint Beer Co, – Haze it Forward and I did the Orange Sherbet Push Pop; a sour ale with orange, vanilla and sherbet.

(Our time at YAH Brew.)

The Orange sherbet push pop sour ale definitely took me back to the summers as a kid and snacking on the Flintstones sherbet push pops.   

Flinstones Push Pop

The yabba dabba do orange to be more specific.  As we enjoyed our tots and our brews with this beautiful Sunday weather we are ready to celebrate summer coming very soon, drinking many more brews on the patio at YAH Brew and fundraising for The Longest Day.

Drink More Beer!
