The Thomas T. Taber Museum of the Lycoming County Historical Society will be holding ‘Bottles & Brews XI’ on Friday, August 9, 2024, from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m. The event has quickly become a tradition within Lycoming County and serves as a fundraiser for the museum. Attendees will be able to sample a number of craft beers, wines, coffee and tea and the product of many regional and national brewmasters and vintners. Tickets are $45 per person and are in limited supply. Members of the museum receive a $5 discount on each ticket prior to August 5. A ‘Golden Pass’ is available for $60 per person and allows early admittance (6:30 p.m.) to the event. Tickets may be obtained from the museum during operational hours and also through PayPal from the Taber website, http://www.tabermuseum.org.
At the event will be over one dozen regional, state and national brewing companies, arranged through the cooperative efforts of major partner Mid-State Beverage Company. Professional local craft brewers include the Bullfrog Brewery, Boom City, Bald Birds, Jackass Brewing, John Ryan Brewery, New Trail, Rosko’s Brew House and Therapy Brewing. A number of amateur craft beer brewers of the Billtown Brewers Guild will be present that evening as well as vintners ECM Cellars and Fife and Drum Winery. Alabaster Coffee Roasters and Backhouse Cafe will also be present. Eat And Run Catering, The Crazy Tomato, British Baking Company, Pudgie’s Pizza, and Wegmans will provide a portion of the foods for the event. The entire museum will be open for touring that evening. ‘Buckets of Cheer,’ featuring beautifully crafted handmade wooden buckets, will be raffled off during the evening.
The inaugural Bottles and Brews (2013) witnessed over 250 people to the event and the event has grown each year since. A portion of the advertising was made possible through a grant by the Lycoming County Visitors Bureau.
The Taber Museum is located at 858 West Fourth Street, Williamsport. Ample parking is available behind the building or on the street.
