You didn’t know? The Lehigh Valley has its own beer society. Started and run by local craft beer enthusiasts, the LVBS will resume its activities this Monday, July 19 after a 6-month hiatus. The upcoming meeting will be held at the Liberty Street Tavern at 7pm. New members are always welcome.
So what’s on the agenda? Typically, members gather, mingle and sample 5 different beers, rating each. Reviews of the beers are then posted on the Lehigh Valley Beer Society page of beeradvocate.com. All in all, it’s a great way to sample and learn about different styles, as well as meet other Lehigh Valley residents who share your love of a fine craft brew.

For the sixth year in a row, Sam Adams gives beer lovers across the country the opportunity to cast their vote on what will become the newest Sam Adams Brewmaster’s Collection beer. Last year, over 68,000 pariticipants voted at over 1,300 samplings. The winner? Sam Adams Noble Pils. This year, the two competing brews are a Belgian style IPA and an American Rye. The voting events will be held nationwide until September 30th at bars, restaurants, and off-premise retail locations. The winning beer will be announced in October and will be available in the Sam Adams Brewmaster’s Collection in January 2011.
Sadly, the Lehigh Valley will not host any of these events, but if you feel like making the trek, you can find samplings in other locations in PA. Click here for the schedule. >
