Irish Beers

Can anyone tell me where I can get some good Irish beers in Jim Thorpe? What does Molly Maguires Pub have to offer in the way of beer?

Irish Beers

Frankly, the best ';beer'; thing to do in that part of the world is to go to Pottsville to take the tour of the oldest brewery in the United States: Yuengling, on Mahantongo Street, just above Center Street. And yes, they give samples...

Yes, My wife and I love to drink Yuengling at home. And will definitely head to Pottsville, but we will be staying in Jim Thorpe for four nights and looking for places to enjoy good beer that are of the darker type.

Having visited Jim Thorpe, I will answer my own question just in case anyone else really likes beer beyond Bud. There are a couple places in Jim Thorpe where you can get Irish beers. The trouble is that in PA smoking is allowed in bars. Not only does that destroy the enjoyment of eating good food, it also does the same for drinking good beer. But if you don%26#39;t mind the smoke Molly Maguires Pub is one place to get a good Irish stout. I think the other place is called A%26amp;J Steak House, which we chose as they have outside seating in the afternoon and thus away from the smoke. The problem there is they charge NYC prices for their beer - $7 for a black and tan. We can bet the same in upstate NY for $3.50. However, the place we found great beer and great food was at Flow. Though it was not Irish beer it was all from PA breweries with a good variety - there was something for everyone among beer lovers.
