I was in the beer store yesterday and was going to go economy style and essentially get the cheapest beer in there for the Home Run Derby. I went in the cooler and picked up a case of something or other Light then I saw a sign on a stack of cases of beer for $14. I’m open to change and we picked up a case of Intercourse Brewery’s Mount Joy Light Pilsner. This beer was marked down from $30 a case and probably had been sitting in the store for an extended period of time but you gotta roll with the punches.
So once you get past the novelty of a beer called “Intercourse” and start drinking it, I was amazed. What a truly great session beer. Little to no carbonation which is something I look for in a beer, extremely smooth and no aftertaste.
What was supposed to be a friend and I sitting around and watching the Home Run Derby and drinking a couple of beers turned into the whole case of empty bottles sitting on the kitchen counter this morning.
This beer is brewed and bottled in Wilkes Barre and as far as I can tell only available in Philadelphia and surrounding counties. The Brand is named after Intercourse PA, a town near Lancaster which I’ve actually seen signs for before while traveling on the Turnpike.
I found this case of beer for a steal for $14 + tax at Beer City on E. Girard Ave. i highly recommend you get a case and sample it yourself, just leave a case or two for me.
http://www.intercoursebrewingco.com/ is the shoddily put together website.
Beer Advocate rates it overall as a B-
4.2% Alcohol by Volume
Their actual Slogan is – “May your spirit be light and may you always enjoy Intercourse.”
Hey Beerslugger,
I’m actually on my porch having Intercourse right now. Not knowing much about it, I decided to search for more info on the net.
At this time, I feel it may be necessary to clarify. I was not surfing porn on my iPhone. I was looking for more info on Intercourse Brewing Company, which brought me here.
If you think the Mount Joy Light is good, try the Paradise Pale Ale – it’s really good!
From what I can tell, it looks like the brand has only been around for about a year. That leads me to believe that their current website is probably temporary. Since I don’t have to drink the website, I’m willing to overlook that for now.
I don’t regulary subscribe to, or even read many, blogs, but I wandered through yours and I have to salute you (you can pretend I’m holding my beer bottle up in the air now), “Cheers!”
