July 24, 2025 Rusty Rail Tour and Tasting

Event | Available

Join the Bucknell Institute for Lifelong Learning for a Tour and Tasting at Mifflinburg's Rusty Rail Brewing Company, 5 N 8th St Suite #1, Mifflinburg, PA 17844.

As Pennsylvania's largest brewpub, The Rusty Rail offers a one-of-a-kind dining atmosphere that includes several hand-painted murals and restored Ford trucks from the early 1900s that were built on site.  The head brewer will guide us through the beer-making facility where lager, ale, IPAs, shandy, and hazy drinks are concocted and we will also tour the Great Room, Pardee Room, and Rusty Rail Suites.  A sampling of beers and snacks will await us in the Game Room on the second floor, complete with 1923 Brunswick pool tables, shuffleboard, foosball, darts, and video game tables. The room also features an impressive trophy collection of wild game mounts from all over the world.

In 2013, brothers Paul and Eric John conceived of converting the warehouse once used to manufacture carriage seats, horseless carriages, and travel trailers, into a destination that everyone could be proud of as a way to pay tribute to the hard-working families that built the community of Mifflinburg. Now, BILL members and friends have an opportunity for a private tour of the facility and a guided tasting experience. You'll keep your souvenir pint glass, too! 

  • Space is limited.

    This special field trip is $20 for BILL members, $25 for non-members. 
    Priority will be given to BILL Members until July 10.

    NOTE: If you are a BILL member and the program appears to be full, select the option to be waitlisted. The BILL office is closed July 1-7 and the coordinator is on vacation. Upon her return, she must add all of those who phoned or emailed in their requests, as well as those who were waitlisted, all using date and time stamps to ensure ALL registrations are entered in the order in which they were received.

    Email  lifelonglearning@bucknell.edu, or call (570) 522-0105 for help with registration (especially if you are trying to register another person) or with any questions.

    Please note:  Refunds cannot be guaranteed after July 21, but please let BILL know if you must cancel your
    registration in consideration of anyone who may be waitlisted for this program.
