Golden Avalanche Brewing Co is located within the Kutztown Tavern, downtown Kutztown, PA. It has been open since 1999. Kutztown is in south-eastern Pennsylvania, north west of Philly and right outside Allentown. The beers included a spring bock, a blueberry ale (very fruity), an alt, a pale, a weizen, and a locally popular blond lager. There was also a cream stout, and my favorite: a unique bourbon stout, brewed with a hint of vanilla, which actually did taste a bit like bourbon.
I happened to meet Bob the brewer as I walked in. Bob was very welcoming and happily answered my questions. He used to be the assistant brewer and took over as brew-master somewhat recently. The food was very decent and so was the size of the portions.

Nearby attractions include Crystal Cave, right outside of town, which is fun to visit, especially on a really hot and sticky Pennsylvania summer day. It is a quick tour and offers twenty minutes of consistent mid-fifties temperatures while admiring stalactites (the ones that come down) and stalagmites (the one that climb). If only they let you take beer from the brewery and sit there for a while, that'd be even better!
