    About 2-1/2 miles to Selin's Grove Brewing Co.[3.99], maybe 4 miles to Marzoni's [3.66], about 20 to Old Forge [3.70], 32 miles to Marley's [3.65], 35 to Turkey Hill Brewing Co. [3.74].

    Three Beards should be fully up and running at Spyglass Ridge Winery in the near future, which would be maybe 9 miles. Covered Bridge Brewhaus is somewhere in the 25 mile range but has no overall rating yet, either.

    Red Oak and Haw River , either 10 minutes. Bull City is so under rated , maybe 40 minutes, great food, great English style brews. There's Natty Greens in Gso I'll pass, and Pig Pounder never had it. Then Liberty brewing in High Point, been a while, then a slew in Raleigh, not really local, Charlotte definately not local.

    You guys are making me jealous. I live in a Connecticut waste land.
    30-Mile is 0.3 miles from my office. Steady Habits is 5 miles from my house. Both have severely limited hours. Everything else listed here is 20 miles plus. Listed approximately in order of closeness.

    I'd be a different person if I lived that close to Founders.

    Would love to see if someone good at math/geography could pinpoint people's exact addresses based on the distances they have provided.

    I know the rule was 5 but after I started looking I got generally curious and it seemed silly not to post the results after putting the time in, so here's mostly all the breweries within about an hour driving distance from my house.

    Damn I miss living so close to those breweries!

    Strong rope opened right as I was leaving and I thought they had a lot of potential. That guy is making some nice, varied styles. Maybe nothing mindblowing yet but I think it'll get there.

    Add a few more to this list such as Pull Brewing, Suarez, and Pine Island, and we have about the same list (guessing you live in Po Town?)

    Twisted Spike Brewery - 12.9 mi./18 min. drive - ?? Beer Avg.
    Still about 6-8 weeks from opening the doors and if the samples I've had are anything to go by, this will be a hit and a great place to hang out at.
    Anthem Brewing Co. - 16.3 mi./23 min. drive - 3.61 Beer Avg.
    I usually have a pack of Arjuna, IPA & Uroboros sitting in the fridge at any given time, and when it comes to Festivus & Pappy Burleson, I really can't get enough of it. Also, bring back the Coffee Saison & Earl Grey Saison damn it!
    Elk Valley Brewing Co. - 17 mi./25 min. drive - 3.91 Beer Avg.
    Pale Ale, eXperimental IPA, Le Ferme, & Nemesis are great beers in their own styles. Cherry Schank!, Bourbon Barrel Mashie, & Pumpion are phenominal and I will put them up against anything and everything in their respective styles.
    RoughTail Brewing Co. - 18.7 mi./25 min. drive - 3.93 Beer Avg.
    When in need of your hops fix, look no further. Also, all the Anniversary beers have been great so I'm looking forward to #4.
    COOP Ale Works - 25 mi./30 min. drive - 3.9 Beer Avg.
    I could live on F5, DNR and anything from the Territorial Reserve series. The Peach Berliner & Spicy Hawaiian have been stand-outs as of late though.

    Definitely some overlap with mine. You must be as north of the border as I'm south of it (or, not much :slight_smile:).

    Clockwork 3.4miles - fairly established brewpub, no average rating. Beers are variable, not something I'd go out of my way for
    Shilling 3.4 miles - very new brewpub, beers were ok when I had them. no rating
    Jaw brew - 3.9 miles . 2.93 BA rating. bit unfair, their beers have been ok when I've had them. very small outfit
    WEST 4.3miles - German inspired brewery, 3.41. Has got a lot better since they first started
    Drygate 4.3miles 3.57 , modern craft brewery. I like a lot of their beers, they are modern but remain drinkable. There's also another couple of ****oo brewers operating out of here
    Tennents 4.4 miles. 3.17 The Big T, no open onsite bar etc but it's not as if you have to go far anywhere in scotland to drink their wares. Also Innis & Gunn brewed their beers here, no idea if they have switched to inveralmond yet


    So a mixed bag really. The better scottish breweries tend to be out in the sticks

    Breweries around my home town:

    Few minutes ~
    American Brewing Co., Salish Sea, Diamond Knot MLT, Big E

    Few More minutes ~
    Crucible, Diamond Knot B2 & Mukilteo, Lazy Boy, Middleton

    I only really go to a couple of those (Crucible & Diamond Knot MLT) but these are the closest ones to me I can think of. I primarily frequent a couple great bottle shops, that are very near as well, in Brigid's Bottle shop and Special Brews.
