Kuebler Brewery cave | Easton, Pennsylvania | 2 January 2010

In this video some friends and I explore an old brewery site in Pennsylvania where, in the 1830s, the interior of a natural cave was covered with amazing brickwork. The site for the brewery was chosen because of the presence of the natural cave in which Kuebler brewers stored kegs of beer. The site is now a ruin and the cave full of debris pushed into the cave when the brewery building was demolished in the 1970s. The most outstanding feature of the cave is the vaulted ceiling located at its rear. In the time period during which the brewery was constructed, probably such brickwork was common. Today it's doubtful that anyone could create such beauty working with such a simple material as brick.

Thanks for the video, bapyou!! If I was younger I would go down there exploring myself and bring some serious flash equipment. I shared this on Facebook so maybe one of my photog friends will be daring enough to go down there.

Hi peach. Just so you know: this place is on private property. Not that I care if you go there (I don't own the property), but it is for sale. My friends in the video are/were interested in buying the property to create a bar/restaurant.

If you do go there, be careful: in amongst the rocks you'll be walking over sharp broken glass & other things that could cut you.

Last, the video looks "blue" because my camera was set incorrectly.

Cheers.

"Cause you're dense&can't read."

I can read quite well, thank you. The problem is you cannot write well or effectively.

Going back to your original comment, why should my friends and me have"rocks thrown at" us? What prompted you to write such a comment? Are you just bored? Are you an unremittingly nasty American who hates everything that lives? (Most are.) Why'd you click on my video? I notice that you have no original videos whatsoever on your channel.

[bapyou]

Wait: I have "rocks for brains," but I'm also a "peabrain"?

Which is it? Do I have rocks for brains or peas for brains? It can't be both.

Thank you.

[RasputinSir]

cause you have rocks for brains dimwit

[RasputinSir]

Cause you're dense&can't read.

[bapyou]

And the reason I should have rocks thrown at me is ... what exactly?

Also, you wrote in your initial comment "thats how they got their brains in the first place." Tell me: How do you "get brains" by having "rocks thrown at" you? What does this mean exactly?

[RasputinSir]

you ,you peabrain

[bapyou]

Who should "have rocks thrown at them"?

[RasputinSir]

Those aholes should have rocks thrown at them,but then again maybe thats how they got their brains in the first place.

Hey, that's really interesting about the connecting shaft and the cavern. My friends would be very interested in seeing that other connecting shaft. I think that's what they were talking about at one point in the video. I'll pass along the information.

Your Uncle Billy O'Hay was insane.

[toddrunt]

My Uncle Billy O'Hay dove off that tressle many times back in the 1940's. He broke six ribs on a dive off a train while it was still moving! He was tougher than Scranton.

And cold? The only place you'll see sub-freezing temperatures in southern California is up in the mountains. I've seen frozen streams up in the San Gabriel Mts. in winter time. Until you experience the single digit winter temperatures of the eastern half of the U.S. -- or God forbid -- the sub-zero temperatures of the Upper Midwest (i.e. Minnesota), southern Californians have no idea how lucky they are to live where they do.

When it's really cold like it is here in PA right now, bats go into hibernation mode. At least, I think that's what they do. A bat expert I am not.

[bapyou]

The bats were hanging on the wall of the cave immobile the whole time we were in there. They were either frozen stiff or just too cold to move.

[davidsquall351]

it looks Easton has alot colder winter than us....Hehe. Did the bats move around while you were there?
