This weekend is Washington Crossing Spring Brewfest. This annual event sells out each year and brings together history and beer in a way only possible where Washington crossed the Delaware.

If you live in or around Bucks County, this is one of the big local brew festivals in the area. Despite loving everything this festival represents — craft beer, history, local business — I have never actually attended it — until this year.

The festival takes place on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River in the upper portion of Washington Crossing State Park. I have visited the park for the traditional reenactment of the Christmas Eve crossing and for various other events, but never for this specific one.

The festival serves a few purposes. It doesn’t only serve as an excuse to get together with friends in the middle of a nice spring day, but it also exposes festival-goers to beer and breweries they might never have tried before. Finally, and most important, by attending festivals put on by nonprofits, you’re supporting the mission of educating the community and preserving the colonial character of the park.

Another facet of this specific event I am looking forward to is the re-enactors who attend the event in full colonial garb. I am hoping to grab a photo with George Washington himself while the event is going on!

Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley

Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
