Weyerbacher Brewing

Last Friday I had some time on my hands so I thought that I would try a new beer distributor. Here in Pennsylvania you have only a couple of options to buy beer. You buy 6 packs from a bar at outrageous prices,or you go to a beer distributor. Draconian, to be sure, but you gotta work with what you have.

I got sucked in by the flashy advertisement for this place, and by the fact that they stated that they had a walk in humidor. I am always on the look out for good cigars, so I thought what the heck.

Wrong idea. This place was only good if you wanted a Miller, Coors, or Bud product. The rest of their offerings were pretty slim. Strike one. And then their humidor was the size of a closet. Strike two.

As I left the parking lot I was thinking to myself, why did I even think that any distributor would be better than where I always go. And where would that be? It would be to Westy's Beer Distributor in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. And I am not being paid to say this, though George? I am not above taking feebies whenever I can get them.

Once through their familiar doors, I set about looking for that beer that was going to make me sit up and say howdy. I whittled down the competition to an Autumn Harvest, and a Imperial Pumpkin Ale both from Weyerbacher Brewing. I chose the Imperial because it just sounded good, and good it is. With just a hint of pumpkin spice to make it dance on your tongue. This is a good seasonal drink. I am finding that when I can afford Weyerbacher, because they are a little pricey, I am never disappointed with the taste of their brews.

And that is how I spent my Friday.
