I will be going there next month for the weekend. I saw some buzz about this place years ago but not much since. Worth a visit? Highlights?

I'm there most nights Wed-Sat some Sundays too. Usually sitting next to the mayor, will be there again tonight. Its a daily routine for me. Get there about 8:45 have two beers and call it a day. See you at the pub!I'm a mile away from SGB. Always down for a bottle share.

Thanks guys. The wife and I were just looking for a quiet little town about 2-2.5 hours away from home with a river, lake or some other body of water for a quick weekend getaway 4/22-4/24. Selinsgrove fits the bill and has a brewery so it's a winner in my book. Not sure if I can get away with a bottle share, but can definitely try to meet up for a few drinks.
Plenty of good BYOB spots in town. Could always have a share there.
Sorry to hear that. I havent been to a beer fest in like 5 years so when my friend told me he got a spare ticket I was all over it.Honestly the beers there last year didn't impress me. I drank a lot of mead over at the stonekeep tent.
Selinsgrove Brewery will probably have Kriek on at the pub. I highly doubt they will have a wild or barrel aged beer at the festival. Maybe one of their firkins? If you want to meet up I live in town about a mile from the fest. Always down to share a beer.
selin's grove pumpkin used to be one of my personal whales. i don't remember the last time it was ever offered for fills though kriek was another one, but someone got me a fill a couple years ago.
if either of those fills are available though (kriek or pumpkin.. moreso with pumpkin)... pleeeeeease someone help me out. you'll make a permanent friend in san diego
Now that I live like an hour away, I need to hit SGB soon... Maybe I should also hit this fest? Anyone been and have any descriptors of what it's like?
EDIT: lol welp didn't notice it was sold out, read better zach. too bad, list looks pretty cool! next year..
On their facebook page they state that people show up the day of the fest with spare tickets to sell and leave their contact information at the gate. Not sure if you are willing to roll the dice considering you have an hour drive but I have friends without tickets who are planning on doing that and they are driving in from more than an hour away.
I cant speak for the quality of the fest - was never able to attend one until this year and I believe this is their 9th year of doing it.Hour drive doesn't bother me... More curious if the fest's worth it. I am still readjusting my standards to Pennsylvania...

Just wanted to chime back in and say you were right. SGB made a liar of me and not only didnt have a sour/wild/unique beer on tap but they also didnt have all the taps flowing and both of the beer engines were not pouring cask beer. They did have 2 beers on tap that I dont recall having before: a summer solitice dubbel (always remember seeing the "winter" version not this one) and a roasted oat stout.As of yesterday Kriek was still on tap.
I usually enjoy the ipa but this recent batch is very under attenuated.
Are all NE style ipas out there right now sickeningly sweet?So it's basically like every other "NE Style IPA" out there right now?

BTW, I'd love to try the Kriek and I see it's coming back soon (and basically anything else from them). If you want something from SWPA, I'd love to set something up.
Its back now. Was put on tap the evening I was there. I honestly dont know when I will get back there, I got a real busy schedule for the next several weeks. Hopefully someone else can hook you up but if not I will see what I can do.
