SUPPORT THE WESTMORELAND HERITAGE TRAIL WITH A BEER!
The Westmoreland Heritage Trail now has its own beer! Rivertowne Brewing Company of Export offers Heritage Trail Pale Ale, a traditional pale ale enhanced by a secret spice. Rivertowne brewers Dale Walters and Aaron Zak developed the ale( with trail volunteers as obliging tasters), and graphic designer Allison Pittier and photographer Tanya McAndrew teamed with local trail supporters to design the label for its cans. The label features an image of a bridge over Turtle Creek holding the restored Pennsy caboose, now situated in Export. Cans also feature a tribute to trails: Whether they were Native American footpaths, farm roads, old military routes or railway lines, many of the great recreational trails of today reveal the area’ s heritage. Rivertowne salutes all those who keep and use trails today, and all those who came before to contribute to a trail’ s history. Rivertowne donates a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Heritage Trail Pale Ale to our local recreational railtrail, the Westmoreland Heritage Trail. The ale is available on tap and at many area distributors, with its availability expanding every week. Ask for it by name— you will enjoy it even more knowing that it supports the Westmoreland Heritage Trail!
