What’s on Tap: Dawson Flinchbaugh

Share Article

I’ve known Dawson Flinchbaugh since my first post-college job at a local magazine, where I was called upon to be a judge for the Keystone Regional Chili Cookoff, held annually during Kipona.

We became fast friends, and I was there for the opening of Flinchy’s. Not long after, he, his wife Betty and a handful of his fellow travelers (many high school friends of Betty’s!) also took me under their wing when I joined them on a trip to Egypt in 2004.

We’ve shared about a million stories — and plenty of drinks — since then. But Dawson’s long been an active participant in the greater Harrisburg area, from his time with Harrisburg River Rescue to, of course, his alter ego, “Chief Chili.”

This month’s What’s on Tap, the web series partnership with GK Visual, features the one and only Dawson Flinchbaugh (well, actually there are a couple Dawsons now …). Grab a drink, and take a watch:
