Recently I had the opportunity to visit my Father’s hometown of Selinsgrove, PA and I got to experience a little more of its ambiance. That ambiance luckily includes craft beer. Yuengling is not the only beer that comes out of Pennsylvania (although you can get varieties up there than you can here) Philadelphia, Pittsburg and the capital of Harrisburg all have some interesting brews. Selinsgrove itself has a brewery that has some incredible beers but you’d miss the place if you didn’t know what you were looking for.
Selin’s Grove Brewing Co. opened in 1996 and was able to set up shop in a Federal style stone governor’s mansion .This historic building was built in 1816 by Pennsylvania’s third and only three term governor, Simon Snyder, for whom the county was named. The building remains remarkably intact and is on the National Historic Register. The Selin’s Grove Brewing Co. is housed on the ground floor in the governor’s kitchen, complete with two walk-in fireplaces. The dog logo for the brewery comes from an historical account of a distillery & brewery in Selinsgrove in the 1830s that used stray dogs to run in a wheel thus powering the pumps.
The year round Beers include; Captain Selin’s Cream, Scottish, I.P.A., Stealth Belgian style Triple, White Horse Porter & Shade Mountain Oatmeal Stout. Our seasonal offerings include; Market Street Fest Lager, Wilder’s Hefe Weizen, Snake Drive Stout, Grizzley Stout, Kriek, Razzmerry, Pilsner, Mai-Bock, Dopple Bock, Saint Fillin’s Barleywine style ale, Soltice Dubbel, Hoppy Monk, Organic Baltic Porter, Hop Nouveau and many more. Luckily I had the chance to sample most of these beers and each one was wonderful.
