Do you want to know what I love most about beer tasting? It’s a classy excuse to start drinking around noon. Budlight-Lime outside a sports bar at 11 Am? Borderline trash (not saying I haven’t been there); people assume that maybe you have a problem. A nice amber ale or chocolate infused porter? You’re simply a lover

“I grew up in Pennsylvania. In a whorehouse.” This is not normally the kind of sentiment that comes to mind when you think of Hershey, Pennsylvania, the self-dubbed “sweetest place on Earth.” You’re supposed to think of Hershey’s kisses, and Reese’s Cups and the scent of chocolate wafting through the air. You’re supposed to think
I think “Allentown” is probably my favorite Pennsylvania-centric anthem. And by favorite, I mean I really love the song and am jealous that it’s not about Scranton or NEPA because I want a song about where I grew up and it just fits so well. All the factories closed down in NEPA years ago. The restlessness mentioned
Going into my trip to Nashville, I was 110% positive that it was going to be my new favorite city. I was proven correct less than an hour after my plane landed when I entered my first honky tonk on “Honky-Tonk Row,” and heard one of the two live bands on the premises break out into
I tried my best to find something Irish-themed for this week, but to no avail, or rather nothing that could sustain an entire weekend trip. Despite having a Belfast, Donegal and Dublin in our state limits, none of them possess anything that would remotely make me want to visit (no offense to anyone who resides

There was always talk that Savannah’s parade could easily out-throne Scranton’s, but I always
It’s officially parade season, where the majority of blog posts will be dedicated to St. Patrick’s day shenanigans and I will be posted less frequently because I will be attending such shenanigans every weekend and thus have less free time than usual. One Pennsylvania “Irish” tradition I frequently embrace is Philadelphia’s Erin Express, a popular barcrawl originally started
I had a very action packed week last week. On the weekend of February 7th, I went to Philadelphia to celebrate my sister’s big 2-5 and then that following Wednesday flew down to Nashville for four days. I’ve basically spent the past two days living either at the gym or outside XC skiing in order
I know I’ve covered the Scranton St. Patrick’s Day Parade but it’s my absolute favorite day of the year and I will forever strive to be it’s greatest champion. At this point you have approximately 3.5 weeks to prepare yourself for the greatest Irish party on the east coast. I don’t care that New York and Boston and
New Hampshire is one of the two New England states I’ve never been to (Maine is the other). Since one of my New Year’s Resolutions is to add three more states to my repertoire, it’s officially on my bucket list (I’m crossing off Tennessee as we speak). I’m not sure in what capacity I’ll be able
