Gettysburg Brew Tour
Delightful drinkeries and distinguished watering holes
Did you know that beer became prevalent in 1800s Pennsylvania (when whiskey reigned supreme) because of the influx of German immigrants?
Over a million people a year make the trip to Gettysburg to take in the scholarly circuit of one of the country’s most significant battles. However, taking in such grave and eventful information can often work up quite a thirst. Luckily, Adams County brewers have been using locally grown ingredients to create innovative and robust brews for years.
"An amazing addition to my Gettysburg itinerary. Great way to let off steam, meet people, and even learn something."
