I’m game for checking that out. I would say that eastern Pa in general is better for beer drinking. My family lives in Allentown and i’m out there a fair amount. Their are way more micro brewery’s and bars that specialize in serving micros and imports than out here. I mean here we have a couple good bars here and there, and then they charge you 5.50 for a micro from Pa. My favorite bar i have ever been to is JP O’Malley’s in allentown, great little irish bar with like 50 taps and only like 3 traditional domestics on tap. Then they have like a couple hundred different bottles. There are a ton of these types of bars out there. ---

I’ve been to East End a few times for growlers. The stout, nut brown, and mr hops are all great. Its right next to the busway on Susquehanna Street which is right off Dallas in the Pt Breeze area, pretty easy to find. ---
