Selin's Grove Brewing Company

This past Sunday was our trip to the Selin's Grove Brewing Company, in downtown Selinsgrove, for a tour of the brewery and a sampling of some of the brewpub's fine beers and food. Steve, the brewmaster, took us through the brewery and the beer-making process, from malt to kettle to keg to glass. Afterwards, we headed inside the brewpub for a sampling of seven of the beers on tap - as well as some of their house-made root beer - with a selection of food from the brewpub's kitchen.

For those who couldn't make it, here are a few photos:

About us.

Slow Food is an international educational organization dedicated to the revival of the kitchen and the table as centers of pleasure, culture, and community; to the invigoration and proliferation of regional, seasonal culinary traditions; to the stewardship of the land and ecologically sound food production; and to leading a slower and more harmonious life.

The Slow Food Susquehanna River Valleys convivium is primarily centered in Columbia, Lycoming, Montour, Northumberland, Snyder and Union counties in central Pennsylvania. We hold several events each year that serve as educational and social gatherings for our members, though we endeavor to keep our activities open to the general public. We attempt to vary the topics, locations, and costs of our events to make them as interesting and accessible to a variety of people as possible.

All of our members are encouraged to give us feedback on events they've attended and input on what we might pursue in the future. Your help is always appreciated!

To become part of our local convivium, please visit our membership page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our convivium leader, Brian Garthwaite, at garthwaite [dot] brian [at] gmail [dot] com.
