Nicole Courides has a passion for Intercourse. She has to – it’s her business.
Courides founded the Intercourse Brewing Company, which she named after the rural Pennsylvania Amish community of Intercourse, ironically a dry town. The name always prompted giggles whenever a younger Courides, who grew up about an hour away in Collegeville, visited with her parents.
It was also hard to ignore the suggestive names of surrounding towns: Blue Ball, Mount Joy and Bareville.
“I couldn’t believe no one had done it yet,” said Courides, at 23 one of the youngest independent brewers in the United States. “The town names are just so funny, and it’s real.”
Hey, I’ve been there. lol And yes, the town’s name does provide a lot of giggles for tourists!!
