Celebrate a Proud, Long-Standing Tradition of NEPA Craft Beer

Currently, there are 45 craft breweries making great beer in Northeastern Pennsylvania. In honor of these intrepid artisans, their tasty local beers, the unique taprooms and those of us who happily imbibe, we’ve put together the DiscoverNEPA Brewer’s Loop.

The Loop covers 10 counties and stops in 29 incredible towns. All told, it stretches out over 400 miles, and makes for quite the scenic tour of NEPA — snaking along forested mountain highways, surfing green pastures, and swimming rivers cold and clear. And, if you do a little planning, you can easily string together a few mini loops for a day of brewery hopping.
