    I know the brewpub I'm about to mention isn't in the United States but if you ever make your way to New Brunswick (Canada), I highly recommend you check out Pump House in Moncton. Excellent pub food (the brick-oven pizza is heavenly) and the beer is A1.

    Apologies for polluting the thread :sunglasses:

    Since its where I liked to go when I was getting my Bachelor's, Springfield Brewing Company holds a special place in my heart.

    I second OSA in Martha's Vineyard. Inkwell RIS outrageously good for a brewpub.

    Though that one's a bit of a drive.

    Are breweries brew pubs?

    My limited-experience answers are:

    Brew pub: Blackwater Draw (College Station, TX)
    Brewery: Jester King (Austin, TX)

    I've also visited Karbach, Lone Pint, 8th Wonder and Buffalo Bayou breweries in the Houston area; Martin House in Fort Worth; and New Republic here in Bryan-College Station, and I enjoyed all of them. Nothing beats drinking at the source.

    Man, reading this thread is worse than reading WBAYDN on my lunch break at work. Now I need a beer AND I'm craving pub food.

    In Michigan a brewpub is a different license. A brewpub can serve spirits and wine. A brewery cannot, unless they have other licenses. Founders is a brewery taproom, not a brewpub in Michigan. Brewpubs cannot distribute, Founders distributes all over.

    Was very impressed with both Tired Hands locations this past weekend. Looking forward to going back to Prohibition Pig this weekend. Another one of my favorites.
