Lancaster Brewing Company Taproom, Lancaster - Bar # 103

The last time Terry and I ventured out to a bar together was on January 3^rd when we visited #102!  Our most recent scheduled outings had to be postponed while at least one of us was out of town on, for lack of a better word, vacation.  Can you really call a retired person’s outing a vacation when his whole life is exactly that?  If any of our readers has a suggestion for an appropriate substitute term it would be greatly appreciated!  Regardless, it is good to get back together with a friend for a couple of glasses of beer on a regular schedule.

OK, I have digressed enough.  Today we made a slight schedule change to accommodate one of Terry’s afternoon fundraising meetings inconsiderately scheduled during our normal beer drinking time period.  Not to be hindered we went out early enough for lunch and of course to enjoy a couple of glasses of beer.  As today’s driver, The Lancaster Brewing Co. Taproom was my choice for destination and it worked out very well. 

Of course, all the beer offered here is made by Lancaster Brewing Company.  An excellent variety of 16 different beers is available and small samples are there for the asking.  To make the mission of tasting all their beers easier, a “flight” of either 6 or 12 5 ounce glasses can also be purchased.  Even with the “flight” option it would be difficult to sample all types of beer offering in one sitting so the dedicated patron can purchase a bottled version of most of the varieties in the store for sampling later in the car while driving home.  Seriously, as model grandfathers, we strongly suggest you wait until arriving at home to open the bottles!  LBC does have some unique offerings such as the “Double Chocolate Milk Stout” and the “Shoo-Fly Pie Porter” as well as a “Jump Seat Black Lager”.  Personally, I have never met a Stout or Porter that I like so I didn’t even waste a sample.

Our bartender, Regan, was very knowledgeable of all the beer available and very helpful in directing us to select something that appealed to our individual taste.  He also mentioned that the wine and spirits available were all from the state of Pennsylvania.  The beers Regan helped us choose were excellent and the food was flavorful.  This location is definitely on the “return to” list for the future!
