Haven't been there yet, but it's only matter of time (when on the Oregon coast Iusually hit up rusty truck brewing, pelican, and rogue) - www.seasidebrewery.com pub is in the town's100 year old city jail building.

 

Ooohhhh. Interesting locations, in my haste to one up Logsdon view I forgot about the actual thread. Buoy Brewing in Astoria, Oregon is in an old cannery on a pier. They've got glass floors in places and you can look down and see sealions.

 

I was just about to mention Buoy...

There's some good pictures here.

 

Rhinegeist in Cincy. It's in a massive old factory and it's full of ping pong tables!

 

It's a brewery now. Hunter Gatherer in Columbia SC.

 

Natty Greene's in downtown Greensboro is a gorgeous re-purposing of an old three story structure with deep history. The area had fallen on hard times, had begun to be reborn, especially with Natty Greene Brewery at the helm. These guys were urban pioneers finding a strength in history. Nathaniel Greene was a Rhode Island Quaker and great American general officer that changed the American Revolution by standing up to General Cornwallis. After the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, the British army marched to Yorktown and surrendered. Natty Greene also has a major new brewery going into the Revolution Mill project in east Greensboro. This is the famous old Cone Mills denim production facility. It is amazing. Also, Haw River Farmhouse Ales, in Saxapahaw N.C. is a wonderful brewery built into the bottom of the historic Jordan Mills. B. Everette Jordan was a long time US senator, mill owner, and his family has seized the chance to re-make this place into something great! The entire project is a North Carolina jewel..

 

Junction Craft Brewing just moved into an Art Deco Incinerator they restored/renovated.

One of my favorite breweries in the Bronx. It's an old garage surrounded by used auto part shops. The beer is fucking awesome.

 

Dock Street in Philly is in an old Firehouse

Enjoy

 

I'll second Brewery Vivant in Grand Rapids, MI as an awesome church redo. Also Petosky Brewing Co. in Northern MI is in a really old brewery that originally was set up to run off gravity from taking the well water to the top and then feeding it floor by floor through the brew process, pretty cool to see and they have pics and info about the old technique. Also Eel River Brewing in Fortuna, CA is in an old lumber mill that is very cool (and their production happens just up the river in part of an old redwood mill that was once the biggest building in the world.

 

Willimantic Brewing Co., in Connecticut. It’s a brewery that got converted from a post office building built in the early 1900s.

AAANNNDDD it's one of the most beautiful beaches in the Northwest.

 

Wynkoop Brewing Co. located in Denver, CO.

This massive building is an old 19th century mercantile building that is very nicely preserved by the brewery. You will never have trouble finding a seat in this place, but you might get lost:
