Consider this: organizers of the first <a href=\"https:\/\/greensburgcraftbeerweek.com\/\">Greensburg Craft Beer Week<\/a>, scheduled for Oct. 9-15, was originally going to be held over a long weekend; since the event was announced, though, the list of stuff to do has ballooned to close to 40 events &#8212; as of press time, that is &#8212; spread out over a full week.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; position: relative; max-width: 100%;margin-bottom:20px;\">\r\n<div style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\r\n<video data-video-id=\"5592313529001\"\r\ndata-account=\"1105443290001\" \r\ndata-player=\"N1VVkFril\" \r\ndata-embed=\"default\" \r\ndata-application-id \r\nclass=\"video-js\" \r\ncontrols \r\nstyle=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0px; bottom: 0px; right: 0px; left: 0px;\"><\/video>\r\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/1105443290001\/N1VVkFril_default\/index.min.js\"><\/script><\/div><\/div>\n<p>The week had been a longtime daydream of Jenn Weir who, as a brewery rep, had firsthand experience with successful craft beer weeks in Pittsburgh and Cleveland. The daydream was set in motion more than a year ago when Weir, now with Greensburg Beverage, discussed her vision with Jess Hickey of the Downtown Greensburg Project; Hickey has been organizing the event since.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s to come once the week begins? <a href=\"https:\/\/greensburgcraftbeerweek.com\/event-directory\/\">The full events listing is here<\/a>, but the highlights include several beer dinners and events that pair beers with desserts, doughnuts and even cigars. If you&#8217;re feeling active, there are brewery-hosted yoga classes and a bike tour. And there are some definite headliners: Art on Tap at the gorgeous Westmoreland Museum of American Art, a Friday the Firkenteenth party at Tapped and a tasting tent at Seton Hill University&#8217;s homecoming tailgate party.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, there is beer &#8212; local breweries have teamed to make four collaboration beers for the week. All Saints owner Jeff Guidos said he&#8217;s worked with Noble Stein to brew a red IPA and with Rivertowne to brew a double IPA, the first time he&#8217;s made a high-gravity IPA. Fury and Levity will release a Baltic porter brewed with rich plums and on the week&#8217;s opening night, Yellow Bridge and the folks at Tapped will release a pumpkin pie beer &#8212; based on the restaurant&#8217;s pumpkin pie recipe &#8212; to benefit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fosterloveproject.org\/\">Foster Love Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see: A great local craft beer scene?
