The local craft beer brewery is Susquehanna Brewing Co. www.sbcbeer.com.
I highly recommend their summer shandy, 'Shady Spot', which I found very refreshing after riding/chasing NKP765 back during Steamtown Railfest 2015.
SBC products can be found in many restaurants/bars in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area.
I also found motels/hotels were cheaper in Wilkes-Barre, about 15-20 minutes from Steamtown.
