5 /5 Peterson Toscano: Bottleworks is the kind of place that I always regret not going to more often. Its actually because of the Rotary club that I started regularly going to bottle works.
I recently became a rotarian which sounds so weird for me because I think of the Rotary club and I think old guys in suits. Okay. Im not a young guy, but Im more of the poetry activist type.
I joined the rotary and one of our first meetings was in Bottleworks. Whos actually a pre-meeting with one of the members, Shawn. Who answered all of my questions about Rotary.
We just had beer, but its never just a beer at Bottleworks. I have excellent beers, in fact, many excellent beers. In fact, almost too many excellent beers. Its hard to choose.
The good thing is they also offer a flight of beers. And I always get a flight cuz I want to try a little bit of everything.
And it turns out that it is a flight for a cause. For every flight someone purchases A donation goes to the Rotary club which in turn supports local and international projects.
Ive been shocked at the kind of projects they do around the world.
Here are four key ways the Rotary Club helps communities internationally:
Fighting Disease – Rotary has led global efforts to eradicate polio and supports health initiatives like malaria prevention, access to clean water, and building medical infrastructure in underserved regions.
Promoting Peace – Rotary funds peace fellowships and supports conflict resolution training, especially in areas affected by war or political unrest, helping communities rebuild and heal.
Providing Clean Water and Sanitation – Rotary helps communities build wells, install water purification systems, and improve sanitation, reducing disease and improving quality of life.
Supporting Education – Rotary provides scholarships, builds schools, supplies educational materials, and trains teachers, especially in areas where access to quality education is limited.
These efforts are often led by local Rotary clubs in partnership with international chapters, ensuring culturally appropriate and sustainable impact.
So Im not just drinking a beer or several beers that come in a flight, Im making the world a better place and I can do that from a bar stool in Sunbury Pennsylvania.
For some reason Im never hungry when I go into Bottleworks, but when I see the food come out of the kitchen, I regret my lack of hunger. The sandwiches are massive and the food looks very fresh. Maybe if a donation was given for every sandwich they sold I might buy more if?
I just need to go with an appetite. But if you like beer, this is your place. They always have at least eight beers on tap, I think more. They also have lots of beers you can carry out.
