June 10-16 New York/New Jersey/Pennsylvania Tour

---

Arrive and check into our hotel at Newark Airport. We'll have a casual get-together drink in the area for those who want to join.

After breakfast and a relaxed morning at the hotel, we'll jump on our private coach for a ride to our First Pitch Lunch at Brick Farm Tavern, the only place that has Troon on tap. Everything about their farm-to-table dining and curated beer list is top-notch and will provide an amazing start to our trip.  From there, we'll head down the road and get settled into the hotel. We'll stop in for a tasting at Conclave Brewing, which is doing amazing things with IPAs and traditional European styles, then, it's on to watch the host Somerset Patriots (New York Yankees affiliate) take on the Portland Sea Dogs (Boston Red Sox) in a Double-A Eastern League match-up from our suite at TD Bank Ballpark, where we'll enjoy dinner.

After a relaxed breakfast at the hotel, we'll pay visits to two more of New Jersey's top brewers, Icarus Brewing and Kane, with lunch part of the itinerary. We'll then  check into our hotel and get a little downtime before the Jersey Shore BlueClaws (Philadelphia Phillies) host the Aberdeen IronBirds (Baltimore Orioles) from one of the more unique seating spots in minor league baseball. 

After breakfast, we head west into Pennsylvania, stopping in at the under-the-radar stars at Forest & Main for lunch and a tasting. Then, we'll get a special behind-the-scenes look and tasting at Referend Bier Blendery, where owners Melissa and James Priest are doing really amazing work with spontaneous fermentation beers. We'll get a tour of the farmstead property and taste some of their favorites. After that, we'll get settled into the hotel in Allentown before we head out for a picnic dinner as the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (Phillies) host the Worcester Red Sox in a Triple-A International League showdown.

Relax and enjoy breakfast at the hotel before we head north to Equilibrium Brewing, whose science-driven approach to brewing is yielding great results. We'll get a tasting and a stellar barbecue lunch. We'll make a stop at regional favorite Wallenpaupack Brewing to taste some of their Great American Beer Fest winners before heading on to the hotel for a little R&R before we see the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Yankees) take on the Syracuse Mets in another Triple-A match-up.

After breakfast, we'll head to Brooklyn, where we'll sneak in a tasting before the Brooklyn Cyclones (Mets) host the  Asheville Tourists (Houston Astros) in an afternoon Sally League game. After the game, we'll settle in the hotel to get settled in before finishing the trip with a Final Pitch Dinner at Threes Brewing, who will wow you with their paired tasting meal!

Get up, check out, and head home at your leisure.
