It’s 90-minutes up the road, and it doesn’t exactly jump into your brain when someone mentions craft beer, so it was surprising to hear than Binghamton, NY has no less than four new breweries expected to open in 2012.  Water St Brewing (168 Water St, 2000bbl/year, food, standard & seasonal brews—opening in Jan), Black Heat Brewery (no location yet, 10-gallon pico-brewery—hope to open Spring 2012), Binghamton Brewing Co (looking for downtown location, food--hope to open Aug 2012) & Galaxy Brewing (Washington & Court St, 20bbl/week, food—opening late Spring 2012).  Be sure to check out their websites and follow along as our neighbors to the north get some craft-beer-love.

    If Binghamton can pull off four breweries why can't Scranton pull off one?

    You're preaching to the chior here Anon. I agree. Soon we will have Breaker Brewing, you can currently go to Marty's and drink Benny Brew...if you include Bloomsburg or points further we have Marleys, Turkey Hill, Old Forge, Berwick, Troegs, Selins Grove...and lots of choices in Allentown/Bethlehem too...

    Fortunately, I travel a lot and my wife is from Baltimore so I get to Max's regularly (best beer bar in Mid-Atlantic) so I can go a month without having to drink in NEPA. The beer scene is improving but still a decade behind.

    So what do we do to catch NEPA up Anon?

    The Georgetown Deli has a great selection. Assuming people are buying the stuff, its a good indicator that there is an expansion of tastes beyond the overdone double IPAs (I'm really bored with them). I think in general NEPA is catching up with an assortment of small breweries and bars with OK if not adventurous selections. Although some of that is distributor related, the really interesting stuff likely isn't making it out of the bigger cities. I'm more concerned with Scranton where I live. Backyard is fine but I'm old enough that I'm not interested in the crowd and volume of a Friday night and Cooper's has been in decline for years. The city needs a high quality downtown brewpub with owners who care about beer. I'd love to see more real ale around and I have an idea there but not quite public yet.

    I'd agree...and a a employee in the WB area, I'd love to see one down here as well...although we DO have Breaker Brewing to look forward to.
