Weyerbacher Brewery Tour

Tom and I toured Weyerbacher Brewery - a local microbrewery in Easton, Pennsylvania. I discovered the brewery after I was introduced to one of its flagship beers called Blithering Idiot. As you can imagine, the name becomes self-explanatory after consuming one or two. Tom and I decided we should try to tour local breweries to gain knowledge about the history of some of our favorite beers since Pennsylvania has some of the oldest breweries in the country. So, Weyerbacher was our first stop on the tour.

What we learned: Weyerbacher has altered their facility to enable greener beer-making practices. They also recycle what they call "oatmeal," a post fermentation product. The oatmeal is given to a local farmer who uses it to feed his animals. Additionally, their distribution range has grown within the last decade, spanning Maine to Florida. A few of their flagship beers are Blithering Idiot, Autumn Fest, and Winter Ale.
