    I know it's been mentioned here before but Cobblehaus at the Falls is very pretty. Unfortunate that the scenery is really the only reason to go, however.

    A lot of top brewery mentions so far. Many I’ve been to or have had on my future bucket list (eventually I’ll get out to OR and WA).

    Milkhouse Brewery at Stillpoint Farm is my local hang in central MD and they have probably the most relaxing vibe places I’ve been to anywhere (and they always have a rotating beer on cask as well)

    Elder Pine Brewing in Olney MD is one of the more beautiful outdoor seating places with lots of Adirondack chairs and tables, etc scattered under a dark pine grove.

    No one mentioned Jester King (outside of Austin TX in the countryside) yet. I found that outdoor establishment really nice with the walking trails and a very “Texas” experience feeling kinda place.

    Along with the other Shenandoah mention of Blue Mountain, I'll mention Great Valley Farm near Natural Bridge. Mountain views... and ppl navigating the drive-through zoo "next door" down the hill!

    The Guinness Gravity Bar has pretty great views 360° around Dublin.

    Do ADA requirements not apply in Texas?

    I love the view at Gassworks Brewing in Seattle. Their beer is just OK, but the view is awesome. I love watching boats come and go and the sea planes coming in and out. Of course, being from Colorado we have a lot of breweries in the mountains with great views.

    Just read what I posted. Hopefully it came across as intended that European breweries likely have better views than most in the US (not that there aren't some great ones here too as this thread highlights).

    I took it as observation, not judgment. :wink:

    I'm sure it's not the only access.

    Unless the governor never frequents. :wink:

    This looks great and the picture reminded me of one I forgot. Long Trail Brewing in VT. It's great sitting outside by the river. Great stuff.

    Brown's in upstate NY has a couple of wonderful locations. This is one of them.

    Wow Nice! My company has an office in Troy. I have never been to that office YET! Looks like I need to find a reason to get up there...

    Tree House in Charlton MA. Not so much a scenic vista, but it's nestled in the pines surrounding the brewery/taproom, and the grounds are very pleasant.

    Although this seems to be my favorite view...

    Hill Farmstead has fantastic surroundings.
    Harpoon has a great view of Boston from the urinals.

    Asahi Sky Room. Not the greatest beer but one of the most specular views you will get of Tokyo.

    Maybe. I think we have some places that are comparable, just different. Pelican comes to mind. Jester King's space is kinda/sorta in the same ballpark. Outer Range (and Backcountry before it closed) = uniquely pretty stunning.

    The two most recent places with a view that I have visited are near Leesburg, Virginia, and both sit atop a steep hill that provides a view to the east toward DC. I think Common Ground is the name of one, but I can't think of the other. I'm traveling right now so I can't post the pics of these views until get home in a couple weeks. I've kept pics of a number of other breweries' views too, so I'll post them all once I get home. I'm drawing a blank on the names of the others or I'd mention them. Pelican Bay is definitely one.
