Scotstoberfeis 2026: All three of our bands, one great night, and plenty to celebrate! 🍀🥁

Scotstoberfest brought friends, family, and the Saint Columcille United Gaelic Pipe Band community together for a fantastic evening! All three bands performed selections from their competition sets, followed by a raffle, great food, a DJ, and some questionable dance moves!

A big thank-you to everyone who helped pull it all together, our talented performers, and everyone who came out to celebrate. Good tunes, great company, and a whole lot of fun!

Until next year! 🍻

A blast from the past! Scotstoberfeis nostalgia vibes—great tunes, good friends, and memories that still deserve a toast...

Celtic Classic connections 🍀🍺

Rich Fegley caught up with a member of the St. Columcille United Gaelic Pipe Band this weekend at Celtic Classic.

Turns out he’s also a longtime fan of our Steelworkers Oatmeal Stout — enjoying it at Bethlehem Brew Works this year and on previous Celtic Classic visits.

That’s the kind of tradition we can get behind. Good music, good people, and a pint of Steelworkers in Bethlehem. 🍺🎶
