#97. Harrisburg

The capital of Pennsylvania is Harrisburg, and its two major employers are the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Federal Government that both account for nearly 40,000 total jobs. Harrisburg has a half-dozen college campuses and an energetic nightlife vibe, and a handful of brewpubs have recently popped up. They include Appalachian Brewing Co. that offers an Outta Focus IPA and a Batch No. 666, a highly-rated Halloween beer that’s our spooky pick for Harrisburg.
