About us
The Upper Bucks County/Lehigh Valley area has become a hotbed of activity in the beer and wine world in recent years and this group will explore this booming part of our local economy and culture.
There are more than 20 microbreweries in this region and more than 30 wineries. Brewpubs, craft beer bars and wine bars are also fair game for this group. We'll learn about the beer and wine-making process and of course get to sample the fruits of our local entrepreneurs' labors.
Expect monthly meetups, tours, tastings and just hanging out, making new friends and enjoying good times, and maybe some scenic views in the process. Whether you're into beer, wine or both, or just interested in exploring and getting to know the area better, this group is for you.
No dues, fees or cover charges, this is a fun thing for me, not a side hustle.
See you on the trail!

Welcome the New Proper Brewing in Quakertown
The Proper Brewing Company, 117 W Broad St, Quakertown, PA, USWe'll return to Quakertown to welcome the new ownership of The Proper Brewing Company. Proper Brewing just celebrated its 10th anniversary in December. However, founders Brian and Kris Wilson sold the business to long-time employee Melissa Szymkiewicz in January. The brewery closed for renovations/refresh before its grand reopening at the beginning of April.
Proper Brewing continues to offer both a brewpub and full-service restaurant in the former Palace Theatre building in downtown Quakertown. New flooring, wall paint, host stand and other renovations have been made and the new liquor partner driving the cocktail menu is Holla Spirits of York, PA. You can read more about the changes HERE.
You should find a similar comfort food menu as before. We'll announce what's on tap when that info is available.
Meet starting at 12:30 for drinks and food. See you there!

Opening a New Chapter at Weathered Vineyards
Weathered Vineyards, 7618 Carpet Rd, New Tripoli, PA, USWeathered Vineyards in New Tripoli (Weisenberg Twp.) has opened a new tasting room, four times bigger than its old space, so we'll help them celebrate this new chapter in their business with our first ever meetup there.
Weathered Vineyards was founded in 2013 by Rich and Dana Wooley, its name inspired by Rich's career as a meteorologist at Weather Trends. Its original 512-square foot tasting room opened a year later. In March, Weathered Vineyards opened its new tasting room (pictured above and to the right), quadrupling in size to 2160 square feet with a gas fireplace, vaulted ceiling, circular pendant light fixtures, rustic wood finishes and plenty of natural light. Seating is at both high top tables and upholstered lounge furniture. You can read more about the new space HERE. They have an outdoor space as well. We'll be wherever weather and crowd conditions allow.
All wines are grown onsite. White wines include frontenac gris, chardonnay, riesling, blueberry and blends. Red wines include cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, pinot noir, merlot and a Bordeaux-style blend. Plus they have a rose' and a sparkling blanc de blanc.
We'll get things started at 12:30. They do sell snacks there like cheese, soft pretzels and focaccia. Outside food and snacks are allowed as well.
See you there!
