Episode 195: Pilger Ruh Brewing (or The Skook)

We start this episode with a conversation with our old friend Dain Shirey from St. Boniface Craft Brewing about their latest venture, a new restaurant and bar in downtown Lititz, PA, Tied House. Then, it's on to another socially distant episode with the founders of Pilger Ruh Brewing, brothers Tyler and Conlan Budwash. Still under construction, the new brewery is set to open in Pottsville, PA later this year or early next. The pair are also the brains behind the Schuylkill County Brew Fest, which was unfortunately cancelled this year (like every other beer fest) due to COVID-19. We discuss the plan for Pilger Ruh, the beer scene in "the skook", collaborations, and more. In Happy Fun Time, Wayne hosted a round of Bad Beer Reviews. And we all drank various and sundry brewskis. In solidarity with the recent protests following the death of George Floyd at the hands of law enforcement, we are suspending our Patreon pledges for the month of June, and encourage our patrons to instead donate to charities and organizations that work to promote equality and support communities of color.
