Dave

In December of 2007, Dave became the 8th living Questor.  Though he's dyslexic, he knows good beer from bad beer. Usually. You can find Dave wandering the streets of Reading, PA where he resides as a grown-up college-student-wannabe.  In his spare time Dave also enjoys, cigars, his girlfriend and windy walks along the river.  The nearby picture shows Dave after one of his not- so-pleasant beers.  Ataboy Dave, keep up the good tasting.

Foamee

Foamee's Data

Specializes in American Microbrews
Being an authority on the beers of Upper New York State, Foamee has mapped out a brew trail to Syracuse.
1) Find a designated driver who wants to go to Syracuse.
2) Proceeding N. on I-83, stop at KClinger's in Etters, PA. Klinger's has the "East Coast's Greatest Beer Selection" with 61 taps and over 600 bottles. Proceed up Rt 15. Stop at Selins Grove Brewing in Selinsgrove. It's worth the trip. Next, continue on to Williamsport and the Bullfrog Brewery. Then on to Corning and the Market Street Brewing Co. Get on Rt 13 and drive up to intercept I-81 at Cortland. You will pass the Ithaca Beer Co. They have a mini-tour with samples and six- packs for sale.
In Syracuse, you will want to stop at the Armory Square area. Clark's Ale House is a beer bar with 21 different taps, and roast beef sandwiches. They have no juke boxes, TV's, or electronic games. There is nothing to do except drink beer and chat with your friends. Down the street is the Syracuse Suds Factory, a brew pub with about 7 of their own beers. They have a dance floor, bands, and lots of kids. Farther down from that is the Blue Tusk, with about 65 different taps, and a kitchen for pub grub.
If you have time for a side trip, I recommend driving up to Oswego. King Arthur's Steakhouse and Brew Pub is there. They have a full service restaurant and a separate bar. Down the street is Greene's Ale House, a small beer bar with 21 taps, one of most every style of beer, and a small kitchen with good bar food.
