WILK Friday BeerBuzz–13 Jan 2011 Turkey Hill Brewing w/Jim Hahn & Oran Tansey

WILKFridayBerbuzz15It should be no mystery on the WILK Friday BeerBuzz that we love featuring our local brewers and breweries.  There is nothing quite like having the guys brewing the beer join you so sample some of their great beer, and it’s even better when that brewery is nearby.

We brought you the news of Turkey Hill Brewing Co back in Feb 2011, so today we were very excited to welcome Jim Hahn & Oran Tansey into the studio.  Jim and I have been talking for over a year as Turkey Hill Brewing was being built, and I’m very happy to see all of the hard work that went into Turkey Hill pay off.

Last week during the holidays we took a trip down to visit Turkey Hill Brewing for ourselves.  First off I should mention that Turkey Hill Brewing is EASY to get to.  The pub is literally just off the Rt 80 exit in Bloomsburg and right on Rt 487 for those familiar with the University of Bloomsburg.  Next I should mention how simply incredible the new building is.  Housing the bar, brewery & restaurant, (and even outdoor space), the new barn-style structure looks amazing and it’s a wonderful experience just sitting at the bar enjoying a pint.

On our visit, we sampled 10 different beers from an easy drinking Barn Dance Blonde Ale, to the Winter Saison and Fort Wheeler Stronghold Ale…so it was exciting to have Jim & Oran join us to sample some Turkey Hill beers.  I particularly enjoyed the Journeyman IPA, & California Red Head at the pub and I really enjoyed the Winter Saison, Belgian Pale Ale and Fort Wheeler Stronghold Ale today. 

Be sure to experience Turkey Hill Brewing and their wide selection of craft beer for yourself.  The food is fantastic, the building is amazing and of course the beers are great.  Also check out Turkey Hill’s Facebook Page & Website.

Thanks

to Jim Hahn & Oran Tansey from Turkey Hill Brewing Co, Nancy, John & Joe for yet another fun Friday.

    Gotta get to Turkey Hill in Bloomsburg. The beers were excellent! Thanks to Jim and Oran for being on the show today!

    It won't be long and we'll have a hundred Friday BeerBuzz episodes under our belts so I can't be sure but is three beers in one show a record? We're givers, aren't we? lol

    Thanks too to Bill from MyBeerBuzz.com and thanks to you for listening!

    I absolytely love when you guys feature local breweries. I didn't even know about Turkey Hill. Believe it or not I just called to make reservations in the B&B for a weekend in Feb for my wife's birthday. We're staying 2 days so I can't wait to try the beer. Cheers to the guys from Turkey Hill.

    I sampled that Belgian Pale Ale a few weeks ago and really liked it. I had never heard of that style until I went to Turkey Hill.

    How hoppy is a Belgian Pale Ale?

    John

    ReplyDelete
  21. MyBeer Buzz13 January, 2012 13:32

    It varys John. Turkey Hill's Belgian Pale had a nice hop presence, but some BPA's are way more subtle and less hoppy.

    Jim & Oran were nice enough to bring Growlers (64oz glass containers you can fill off the tap). They DO sell growlers so you CAN take Turkey Hill Brewing beers home....BUT you do need to consume them within a few days..especially once you open them.
