Isaac Newton's

When I find myself in Bucks County, PA, there's a place called Isaac Newton's that I love to visit.  Located in Newtown, Isaac Newton's offers an excellent selection of craft beers, both on tap and in bottles.  They carry many of the beers on my wishlist, and I can usually find my stock favorites there, as well.  I'm also glad they list their available and upcoming beers and events like keg tappings on their website, so I can plan ahead if I know I'm going to be in town.

The atmosphere is about what you'd expect from a restaurant that boasts a prodigious beer list.  They have a decent menu and a nice outdoor seating area for warmer weather.  Their prices are a tad higher than I'd like, but I'm not going to gripe too much about it since they do have a spectacular selection, and they regularly rotate in new beers.  If there were a place like that within 30 mins or so of where I live, I'd be simultaneously in heaven and in the poor house.  Sadly, I doubt the local economy would support such an establishment where I am, since most people around here seem to go for the Big 3: Bud Light, Miller Lite, or Coors Light.  At least, those three take up the bulk of the floor/shelf space at the local distributors and bottle shops, so I'd say it's safe to assume that those beers make up the bulk of their purchases.  Otherwise they wouldn't stock so much of them, right?

There I go digressing again.  It is nice to have set places that I can rely on for a good variety, like Zeno's and The Deli (and sometimes Champs) in State College, and Isaac Newton's and The Candlewyck in Bucks County.  I guess I'll keep up the hunt, and fill the craft void with homebrew in the meantime.

Cheers!
