Hop harvest season at Bale Breaker in Yakima, WA. I tried to upload a pic to postimages of a close up of one of the hop trellises that surround the beer garden and received a "Forbidden" error, I think it was assumed to be pot, lol Don't have any good pictures from the Ayinger Brewpub in Aying, Germany, but the brew pub and town are beautiful. Worth taking the 40 minute train ride from Munich.
I don't have a picture but New England brewing's new spot( formerly Stoney Creek Brewing). On Stoney Creek in Branford, Connecticut with plenty of boat traffic and good people watching. Large deck. Beautiful facility. Sorry no pictures.
I stopped at a restaurant/bierhall halfway down the hiking trail from the base of the Eiger and Kleine Scheidegg and enjoyed lunch and a beer on the deck -- watching avalanches across the valley.
I forgot about Foam. In the summer, sitting on the deck and watching the sun go down over Lake Champaign is awesome. Sitting in their crowded taproom in the winter isn’t so great.
Hmmm Been to Vonn Trapp, it’s nice but not really anything amazing in my mind. I was at the beer garden at Augustiner in Salzburg. Fun experience to pick, wash and pour your own beer. We got the smaller beer, I think it was half liter. We walked to the beer garden and there were old ladies double fisted with the full litters. We felt silly. The beer was very good. It was a bit of a challenge to find this place but worth the walk and search. The beer garden is a great outdoor space. MUSA in Lisbon had decent beer, great folk at the taps and a nice little outdoor spot in the city. Really enjoyed hanging out there. Paradox in North Hudson had decent beer and pizza with a nice outdoor view and it was a really chill feel. Enjoy
My takeaway here is that I need to spend more time in Oregon and Vermont. I feel like with all the views in California there should be more spots, but most of our scenic views are on the water and that's prime real estate rarely taken up by breweries. Gorgeous forests and mountain views are not nearly so I expensive I think.
The only local brewery to me with a view is also on competition for the worst brewery around. Six Rivers brewing does have a beautiful view out over the pastures in the bottoms and to the ocean though
Grand Teton Brewing in Victor Idaho has an amazing patio with mountain views and some solid brews and burgers from their food truck. A hop and a skip over Teton Pass from Jackson WY. One of the OG's having been around since 1988.
That's one of the breweries that I was going to post a picture when I get home from my trip, and I'm so glad that you posted a pic. My pic has power lines right across the view that ruin its enjoyment.
Dirt Farm in Virginia Shinomiya Brewing in Kagoshima, Japan. Situated on top of a hill and located within a massive hotel, this brewery brews and serves their beers with views of the city and the Sakurajima volcano (which by the way is thinking of going kaboom as we speak). Great beer
I was going to say that Ballast Point in Long Beach and Green Cheek in Sunset Beach came to mind. Rathaus in Lucerne was certainly pretty cool along the river leading to Lake Lucerne.
It's the big attraction in a small beach town. There's no real competition nearby. It's a not-inexpensive area.
Another brewery with spectacular views is Harper’s Ferry Brewing in Virginia. Located just downstream from the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers overlooking the route 340 bridge and river valley below. They’ve expanded the back deck years ago to accommodate the crowds, it’s a great place to hang out and relax while enjoying a few beers with friends and family.
