Explore the Lehigh Valley Ale Trail

The Lehigh Valley Ale Trail is the beer lover’s answer to the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail. It is composed of a special collection of bars, pubs, and breweries. To be considered for the Ale Trail, the establishment must have at least 60% of their tabs solely dedicated to craft brews. You’ll also find that many of these places serve locally brewed beers as well.

The Mint Gastropub

Located just five minutes away from Sayre Mansion, The Mint Gastropub is serving “contemporary comfort foods” with a side of incredible beers and cocktails. This is more than just a pub: it’s a dining experience! There are plenty of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options available at The Mint, so it’s sure to be able to please everyone in your group.

Bethlehem Brew Works

Bethlehem Brew Works is one of the most unique breweries on the Lehigh Valley Ale Trail. It pays homage to the former steel workers that made up Bethlehem and is located just three minutes away from Sayre Mansion. Bethlehem Brew Works features award-winning beers, like the Devious Imperial Pumpkin Ale or Arctic Alchemy, both which won gold at the World Beer Championships. Visit the happy hour, from 4 to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, for $3 Fegley’s Flagship Drafts. When you visit, make sure you sample the menu of dishes that pair perfectly with their beers.
