Pour Tour Stop #11 brought Jack to the beautiful town of historic Ridgway and The Brew Bank Brewing Company. You really can't miss it.
Housed inside a historic old bank turned microbrewery, The Brew Bank is rich in history—and if you know Jack and his adventures, you know he’s a bit of a history buff himself. But there’s more than just history waiting inside.
From breakfast to dinner, handcrafted brews to cocktails, and even their popular house-brewed root b**r, The Brew Bank has something for just about everyone.
Jack enjoyed exploring this unique piece of Ridgway history while sampling what The Brew Bank has to offer. And we're pretty sure that house-brewed root b**r may have been a particular favorite—because even a skeleton needs to take a break from the spirits every now and then.
11 stops down... and Jack is still going strong.
Will he make it to the finish line and earn his coveted “ Pour Tour Survivor” T-shirt?
Follow along as Jack continues his Pour Tour adventure through Pennsylvania's Great Outdoors Region. **eslushies **elover **elovers **etime **ery **r **erylovers

New ATV Connectors
State officials announced on Wednesday that six new All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Connector Routes will be built in Elk and Potter counties.
The new routes, approved through a new Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) process, connect to the Elk County Trail of Dreams and Northcentral Regional ATV Trail.
The new process allows municipalities or regional organizations that manage ATV trail networks to request route designations. Officials hope the process will help connect existing trail networks and expand access to communities and destinations.
The six new routes are:
Fox Township, Elk County, connecting to the Elk County Trail of Dreams:
• South Kersey Road (Route 2007) between Boone Mountain Road and Chicken Hill Road.
• Irishtown Road (Route 2007) between Old Shawmut Grade Road and Brown’s Road.
• Brandy Camp Road (Route 2011) between Route 2019 in Horton Township and Cuneo Road in Fox Township.
• Toby Road (Route 2003) between Kyler’s Corner Road and Hogback Road.
• All of Kyler’s Corner Road (Route 2013) in Fox Township.
Potter County, connecting to the Northcentral Regional ATV Trail:
• Branch Road (Route 144) between Button Hollow Road in West Branch Township and Bridge Street in Galeton Borough.
