It seems every month a new microbrewery opens here in Pa. I prefer craft beers but still like my Guinness. My first experience with microbreweries started in the late 1980's in Lancaster County, Pa. I would frequent a record store in Ephrata & was always looking for new places to eat. My journey took me by Stoudt's in Adamstown, Pa. I heard they had good food but what really caught my eye were the enormous vats that were visible from the highway.
Stoudt's became a regular weekly stop & their beers were top notch. They had a raw seafood bar as you entered that I couldn't get enough of. The real find though was bartender "Whitey Von Nieda." I got to know him very well. He was an NBA player in the late 1940's & early 50's. He was known for his quizzes that were called "The Bar Exam." When you correctly completed the sheet, he would buy your next beer. Whitey is alive & well at age 95.
So let's discuss craft beers both good & bad. I'm sure there's many stories to share.

The local blood bank here had a premium early last year. They gave away coupons good for a commemorative glass and a beer tasting at a local microbrewery.
However, the time they handed out the coupons was well before the time they had the beer tasting. Thereby no donating, then going to the microbrewery to get rip-roaring drunk.
