Here's to the first pint

Writing about the Scranton area (and not so Scranton) beer culture is the gourmet hot-dog. Does the Electric City really have one? Or is it the mythologized reverence for the era of production-blue collar jobs that drives us to believe that the only thing to be imbibed here is the cheapest beer possible. Many people prove otherwise.


I hope this blog will showcase the area as much as the beer.  I don't think Scranton's beer culture needs reviving, it is already on it's way to creating something unique in the American craft community.  We have a grassroots, home brewing, adventuresome culture forming that our area has scarcely seen in this century.
So here's to the first pint, Scranton.
