Craft Beverage Garden presented by the Central Pennsylvania Tasting Trail

Craft Beverage Garden hours will be: Thursday through Saturday, 12:00 pm – 8:00 pm.

Last year, the Tasting Trail made a strategic move to Sidney Friedman Park, and this year we will be expanding the space to include all of Sidney Friedman Park. This does not impact the general public’s access to the park in any way, but it does allow patrons of the Tasting Trail to enjoy all areas of the park while supporting trail members.

The Central PA Tasting Trail brings together the best of the region’s breweries, wineries, distilleries, and cideries. Whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast or a wine lover, the trail offers a taste of the local spirit, one sip at a time.

When you head into Sidney Friedman Park to watch a show, make a shady stop, or head to the food court, you can grab an alcoholic beverage if you choose.  Valid identification will be required to purchase your reusable cup with a $10 cost with your first fill free.  All alcohol must be consumed within the enclosure.

Come enjoy live entertainment, a shady escape from the summer heat, and a refreshing beverage.

Please note that the Borough of State College prohibits open containers of alcohol in public areas of the Borough.
