About YCAT
There's Something Brewing in York County- home to 20+ breweries and counting. The York County Ale Trail offers both walking tours and our Brew Bus visiting established and up-and-coming breweries throughout York County. Visitors and locals alike can buy tickets that includes 3 breweries, exclusive facility tours, guided sampling, and local historical/anecdotal insight from an experienced Beer Guide that will lead each group. Gift Certificates, Group and Charter bookings are also available.
York County has a rich history of brewing local craft beer dating back to the founding of our country. With today’s booming craft beer industry, York is once again at the forefront, featuring multiple breweries situated throughout its rolling hills, farmland and picture-postcard main streets. The County's growth mimics that of the state: Pennsylvania is currently holds 7th place for amount of craft breweries in the nation, and holds steady at No. 1 for producing the most craft beer in the U.S.
In 2001, Glenn Smith moved to York and, along with an army of other business people, entrepreneurs, and positive agitators, led the charge of the City’s renaissance, which has included a blossoming and burgeoning craft beer scene. For more than a decade, Glenn has enjoyed his many “beercations,” visiting small, independent breweries throughout the country; hearing their stories, learning about their craft, sampling their wares, and gaining a better understanding of the variety and uniqueness of the craft beer industry.
It was Glenn’s vision to create a similar experience and opportunity for others right here in York County. Therefore, in December of 2017, Glenn created the York County Ale Trail, an exclusive, guided emersion into the established and up-and-coming breweries of York County where one can explore, learn and experience more of the York County brew scene than they could ever on their own, while enjoying a safe ride with an experienced Beer Guide, as your designated driver.
Although quality craft beer is the focal point of the tour, what truly distinguishes the York County Ale Trail is a warm and welcoming introduction to the best of what York County has to offer from its past to the present. As a bit of a history buff, Glenn has incorporated such definitive moments in our country as the Continental Congress’ adoption of the Articles of Confederation at the Yorktowne Courthouse in 1777 and the development of the York Plan by the County’s industrial leaders in 1941, which became the national defense and manufacturing model during WWII.
As for the present, YCAT has partnered with area restaurants, stores, taprooms, entertainment venues and, of course, hotels, to make a trip on the York County Ale Trail a total destination experience.
