Stoudts Brewing Tour

Our final destination of the trip was Stoudt’s Brewing in Adamstown, PA. Basically, we’re talking right near Amish Country. This isn’t so much a brewery as a village! There is a huge complex that includes a banquet hall, antique shops, a bakery and a whole bunch of houses we didn’t have time to check out. But don’t let any of this fool you, there is also a top-notch restaurant and brewery on premises! We grabbed lunch and each had a Scarlet Lady ESB, which we’d never seen before. Beth met up with us again right about now and, while waiting for the tour, we went to the banquet hall and had some blonde double maibock. It was a bold brew! We went to the tour where we had the pleasure of getting shown around by the owner, Eddie Stoudt, a lively man who loves the craft beer scene, thinks you should drink local beer and is totally committed to putting out a quality product.

We got to talk with him for a few minutes after the tour and it was a great experience! At this point, we had to call it a wrap. We picked up some six packs of Scarlet Lady ESB and Blonde Double MaiBock and headed for Boston…
