The Lycoming County Historical Society held Bottles & Brews XII on Friday, August 8, 2025. Over 250 guests were able to taste a number of local craft beers, wines, distilled spirits, teas and coffees and sample the products of several regional and national brew masters. All proceeds from this annual event benefit the Historical Society and the Taber Museum and we raised approximately $15,612 to go toward the operating costs of the LCHS and Taber Museum!
During the evening, the Museum raffled off “Buckets of Cheer” and hosted a 50/50 drawing. Many guests walked off with buckets filled with wine, gift cards and other valuable gifts donated by local businesses.
Thanks to local eateries and many other donors, there was a large selection of food for all to enjoy.
Thanks to all of those who attended, helped, donated their time, finances and materials to make Bottles and Brews a fantastic and fun event at the Museum! Mark your calendars today for Bottles and Brews XIII – which will take place on Friday, August 7th, 2026.
