So, it's no secret that I'm a fan of local foods--items grown locally, raised locally, dishes created locally! I am also a fan of beverages that are brewed locally!
The Southeastern Pennsylvania region has quite a variety of microbreweries. Sly Fox, Victory, Appalachian, Fegley's, Philadelphia Brewing Company, Yard's, Iron Hill...and these are just the ones I could come up with off the top of my head. There are many, many more! These breweries represent small businesses that can employ just a handful of people to hundreds and can be the starting point to revitalizing a neighborhood or a downtown.
There is also a very strong home brewing community in this region. The mister and I have not ventured into this creative outlet, but we have a few friends that home brew.
So, if you are in your town and get word that a new microbrewery is opening, give it a try. Or, if you know of one currently operating in your town, but have never stepped in to try their creations, give it a whirl! You never know, you may find a new beverage that suits you just fine!
ps: some microbreweries also brew their own root beer (suitable for the under 21 set)!
