Each year the Museum partners to support another local non-profit organization. Breweries are asked to donate an item for a raffle that takes place at 9:00 pm. All proceeds from ticket sales this year go to the Ronald McDonald House of Central PA. You could go home with beer or cool brewery swag! This auction has become one of the highlights of Autos and Ales with patrons eagerly awaiting the drawings. Thanks to all participating breweries who generously donate beer, gift certificates, and swag!

A&A Event Beer!
Each year, the Museum partners with a brewery to produce a special event beer that debuts at Autos & Ales. For 2026, our partner is Yah Brew of Hershey and Mt. Joy, PA. Yah is friends with our presenting sponsor, Crowne Automotive. Their collective appreciation of ‘90s pop culture and British automobiles has resulted in “Shaguar.” a distinctive IPA (India Pale Ale) brewed with English malts. It will be available for the first time at Autos & Ales on Friday, November 6th!
