Don't travel the Keystone State without it." -American Breweriana Journal In this second edition, 15 new breweries have been added and all others have been updated. Tourists and beer lovers will learn about the history, current output, and types of beer produced at the 53 locations, as well as information on tours, food served, and nearby lodging and attractions. The author, a beer connoisseur, recommends a "pick," or favorite beer, for each brewery. Lew Bryson writes about beer and the brewing scene for Malt Advocate and Ale Street News. He lives in Newtown, Pennsylvania
I'm a former librarian who has been making a living writing about beer and spirits since 1995. I write regularly for trade journals like Cheers, New Brewer, and Beverage Business, and I also am the managing editor of Malt Advocate. I started drinking non-mainstream beer way back in 1981, and never really looked back. Whiskey came a bit later, in 1996, but I've quickly grown to love it, as well.
I grew up in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where my family has been for over 250 years. I live less than 60 miles away, but I still miss it, especially in the fall. I am married and have two children, and we live in a subdivision, like most folks around here.
I like to travel, both on my own and with the family. I was in Bavaria in December, in Wisconsin last July, and before that, I visited the Czech Republic in April. I'll be visiting the Canadian Mist Distillery in Collingwood, Ontario in March of '06.
