Celebrating Lehigh Valley Beer Week at Yergey Brewing in Emmaus

Before the 2026 Lehigh Valley Beer Week ends, let's celebrate at my favorite local brewery, Yergey Brewing, in Emmaus.

Yergey Brewing opened in 2016 and moved to its current location on Main Street in Emmaus in 2021. The owner, Jim Yergey, won a local Be a Brewer for a Day contest in 2014 before he opened his own brewery.

As I write this, they are pouring a Mexican-style lager, various IPAs, a bourbon barrel-aged English-style ruby ale, an American brown ale, American pale ale, American wheat ale, imperial and oatmeal stouts, a sour ale, a coffee blonde ale, a cream ale, and a British mild. Even better, as part of their LVBW celebration, they'll be tapping some cask- and barrel-conditioned ales the day before, so they should have them on tap as well.

Yergey also serves hard cider from Five Maidens and Red Balloon, mead from the Colony Meadery, liquor from County Seat Spirits and Eight Oaks Farm Distillery and wine from Maple Springs Vineyard. They don't serve food, but the food truck will be from Uno Taqueria in Allentown (tacos, empanadas, quesadillas, burritos, vampiros, etc.).

As an added bonus, this is also their Sippy-Cup Selfie Scavenger Hunt day. Get and fill a Yergey Brewing sippy-cup, then take selfies with it at various places in Emmaus that are participating in the scavenger hunt to win prizes. Completely optional, hanging at the brewery to enjoy their brews is good too.

Meet starting at 1 p.m., we'll have a reserved space. See you there!
