Rough Edges Brewery (Waynesboro, PA)

 

After an early evening outdoor jazz concert in Main Street Park with Paul Bollenback and Pat Bianchi, and an excellent meal at Sapporo Japanese restaurant, we wandered down to Rough Edges Brewery for an after-dinner beer. Recently renovated, the converted storefront with tin ceilings is spacious and inviting. We opted instead for the limited outdoor seating along West Main Street to watch the world go by on a late summer evening.

I sampled the Promiscuous Strange Porter 4.7ABV.

At dinner we met a couple who were enjoyable interesting rolls at the Japanese restaurant. I had noticed them earlier at the concert because the man was wearing a Michigan Tech t-shirt, the university located in Houghton in the Upper Peninsula. While chatting we learned it was the couple’s anniversary and we mused about the weather and beauty of the area. After they left, the encounter led to a sanguine conversation about when we could return to the Keweenaw and enjoy the quiet, beautiful summers of Northern Michigan.
