This question is asked mostly with tongue planted firmly in cheek, because unless you don’t actually get out of bed in the morning, and have maintained that routine for a solid week, it’s been tough to miss what has transpired in the Pennsylvania beer world.

As an added bonus, I had a chance to talk to Cigar City founder, Joey Redner and head brewer Wayne Wambles about the ups and downs of success and the future of Cigar City Brewing.
Craft beer has seen an amazing level of growth over the last five years. With that growth has come a whole lot of good. The quality of craft beer around the world continues to improve and the homebrewer’s penchant for experimentation is now firmly ensconced in the commercial craft beer industry.

Named for a 17th century Dutch-employed Swede, Jonas Bronck, the borough that bears his name is the home of the New York Yankees, a major incubator for Hip-Hop music and has seen more than it’s fair share [...]
