Lehigh Valley Beer Week Comes to Easton

Chances are you've heard of the Bermuda Triangle.

What about the Beermuda Triangle? 

If you're a fan of locally brewered beers, you'll get a chance to visit it -- and hopefully not get lost -- as the inaugural Lehigh Valley Beer Week comes to Easton.

This first-ever celebration of high-quality local brews is spread across the entire Valley, and runs from today until Feb. 17. It involves 10 different breweries -- including Weyerbacher and Two Rivers in Easton -- and nearly 30 bars and restaurants.

In Easton, those venues include Porter's Pub, Black & Blue and -- again -- Two Rivers, which collectively make up what organizers are calling "the Beermuda Triangle," scene of a pub-crawl scheduled for this Saturday.

More accurately, it's called the Beermuda Triangle Pirate Pub Crawl, which means wearing pirate gear is encouraged. Hit all three locations and get your passport stamped -- you can pick those up at any of the three locations -- and you'll get a free Beermuda Triangle Pint Glass. 

Also taking part in Beer Week in Easton are Maxim's 22 and Settle Luna. We're listing a complete schedule events for each place below.
