Bethlehem Brew Works (Eastern Pennsylvania)


I thought a quick mention of Bethlehem Brew Works would be in order. Although I have not been there in over two years, I enjoyed the place enough that it should be mentioned.

The beers were good, and so was the food. Although I may have to add further notes on the beers, the main reason I wanted to mention this brewpub was the Steelworkers’ Oatmeal Stout (1.058 O.G., 5.3% A.B.V.). This stuff was fabulous! In addition, I got with it a piece of what turned out to be the best pecan pie I'd ever had. The two combined made the long drive well worth it! I wish I had taken a picture of that delightful combination but you'll have to take my word on that one!


Moreover, the city itself is interesting to visit. Bethlehem, PA was founded on Christmas Eve (hence the name) by German Moravians, a church founded in the Czech Republic. The city adopted the official nickname of Christmas City, USA". It was once a major steel town but has revived thanks to tourism and the town's famous Musikfest, a large yearly music festival.
