How Many Breweries Have You Visited?

Mayflower and Harpoon

 

Ive been to a handful of breweries but I honestly don't think I've ever done a tour.

 

List includes brewery tours/taproom visits/brewpubs...but not chain brewpubs like Rock Bottom, etc. Thankfully, dear girlfriend is a beer fan and supportive of at least one brewery visit on every trip. Sometimes, like our trip to Maine last week, we hit several. I love looking at the different styles of tasting room/brewpubs, to see how they integrate into the community, what experience they offer beyond beer.

I think right now I'm at 66. But next weekend I've got a brewery trip to San Diego, so that will go up a bit.

 

Couldn't find that tool but a cool site nonetheless.

 

A-B brewery in St. Louis before I deployed to Iraq.. besides that none.

 

It's been a while, but it's a good site to use as a tool for trip planning.

I tried to count quickly and came up with 12 breweries and a couple dozen brewpubs. I am missing several. Not sure why I segregated the two groups.

Favorites
