Penn State Tailgate Recipes: A bourbon maple Old Fashioned

Brad and Nancy Ryan's tailgates are epic affairs.

The Lower Paxton Township couple used to pull up to Beaver Stadium for home football games with family and friends.

They had a prime spot and season tickets. Their daughter, Hannasy, who is now 16, would join them.

"They were epic because when we were there, we always had a full bar. We would have breakfast, lunch and snacks," said Brad Ryan, a Penn State alum.

Nowadays, the Ryans are more likely to be spotted tailgating at Bishop McDevitt High School football games as well as at horse shows.
