Visit Bucks County partnered with host, Warwick Farm Brewing, and the brewers of Bucks County to release the fourth county-wide Bucks County Ale Trail collaboration beer, Expedition Bucks County, a session IPA, brewed with Idaho 7 and Citra Hops. The beer recipe and label were redesigned for the collaboration’s fourth year, with the beer actively brewing during the event.
The Ale Trail launched in 2019 with 15 breweries and has since grown to more than 30 breweries (including taprooms). To date, more than 27,000 visitors have obtained an Ale Trail passport and Visit Bucks County has tracked nearly 90,000 visits to breweries and fulfilled 9,300 Ale Trail prizes.
“The Bucks County Ale Trail has become a must-do activity for those traveling to our region. More than 8.4 million visitors explore Bucks County each year, generating nearly $1.3 billion in economic impact and supporting a hospitality workforce of nearly 29,400,” said Paul Bencivengo, President/CEO of Visit Bucks County. “Food and beverage are the largest direct visitor spending category, and the Ale Trail demonstrates how collaboration among local breweries creates a stronger experience for visitors. Together, our brewers help drive tourism, support local businesses, and contribute to Bucks County's growing reputation as a popular culinary and craft beverage destination.”
Expedition Bucks County will be available on August 28th on draft and in cans at participating Bucks County Ale Trail brewery locations.
At the event, Visit Bucks County also announced that new Ale Trail prizes will debut next week, starting Tuesday, August 11th. The new prizes will provide participants with exciting incentives to continue exploring local breweries while earning exclusive swag, discovering new spots, and tasting the best of Bucks County’s craft beer scene.
