What breweries have you recently visited?

I'm at NEBCO fairly often and will be making my first trip up to the Alchemist tomorrow. Ridiculously excited!

 

This year I've been to:
Lost Rhino
Hardywood Park
Blue Mountain
Wild Wolf
Mad Fox
Strangeways
DC Brau
Great Lakes
Willoughby

Also made stops at DFH Alehouse in VA & Fat Head's on Cleveland.

I'm hoping to get to Williamsburg Alewerks soon too.

 

Within the past few months I've been to:
Carton Brewing
Green Flash
Ballast Point
Alpine Brewing
Stone Brewing
Belching Beaver Brewery
The Bruery
Hill Farmstead
Alchemist
Allagash
Russian River
21st Amendment
Bear Republic

Going to be heading out to Southern Tier, Lagunitas, Speakeasy, Beachwood and Golden Road within the next month. Busy summer.

 

Nothing too crazy. I've included brewpubs on this list.
Dieu Du Ciel
Bellwoods
Kuhnhenn
Walkerville
Niagara Oast House

And a few months earlier this year:
Founders, Dark Horse, Greenbush, Three Floyds

 

Southern Tier is along the way from NOLA to Pensacola? You may want to update the maps on your GPS my friend! Maybe Lazy Magnolia?

 

If you're going to the Alchemist, take the extra hour and twenty minutes to hill farmstead. So very worth it.

 

Holy City, Westbrook, COAST, and Hardywood Park in late July, plus Kane over the weekend. I feel like I've lost interest in brewery tours (you can only see so many fermenters before they're all the same), but the tasting rooms have all been phenomenal.

 

Oh, and I failed to input my response to the OP question...

CCB (today) and Funky Buddha (a couple weeks ago) for me. I've also been to Good People Brewing and Avandole Brewing in Birmingham recently, and went to Yazoo in Nashville earlier this summer.

 

Went to Stone on sunday. That place is beautiful!

 

SweetWater in Atlanta this past weekend. Can't beat $10 or $13 for a glass and 6 tasting tickets that get you over half a glass of any beer they have on tap in their two tap rooms. And then you get a tour on top of that.

 

Today, River North for a special Wed release of a Pineapple Saison. Delicious

 

Went to Fullsteam this past weekend (coolest bar I have ever been to), and just before that I went to one called Steel String (also great).

 

I'm jealous of all of you. Especially the guy who has been to 15 or so different breweries the last month

 

But SoCal, especially San Diego county, has them lined up relatively close together. In San Diego, people do a round of 4, 5 or 6 breweries in an afternoon, like people visit wineries in Napa or Sonoma. I was just thinking that I probably hit 15 top notch breweries in a month there without trying or realizing it.

 

This year:

Singlecut in Queens
Peekskill in New York
Capt Lawrence in New York
NoDa in Charlotte
Three Floyds
Revolution in Chicago
Haymarket in Chicago
Abigaile in Hermosa last night
Going to Stone tomorrow
Societe on Friday

 

Most recent was Leinenkugel's on Sunday. I generally like regional brewery tours of places this size and had never been here before and was happy to be going. But I have to say that it was a let down. I have a feeling that a lot of it had to do with the tour guide that we had. She was obviously a former HS cheerleader who had that weird raspy, loud, yet sing songy way of speaking. After two minutes my gf and I each thought about bailing, but we stuck it out. Why, I am not sure, because it never got more tolerable and made it hard for anybody to even follow what she was saying. I didn't expect much out of the samples and that met my expectations, although generally that wouldn't have been an issue if the tour was better. Also, didn't like the fact that they pictures were banned inside the brewery. Nothing exceptional was going on inside, but when being inside a 100+ year old brewery, taking photos is probably the best part about it.

 

Last week:
Lucky Lab
Breakside Brewing
Cascade Barrel House
Solera
Gigantic
Laurelwood

Just another week in PDX

 

Which brewery? The Bruery. YAY

 

I ride my bike through Miller Valley pretty often and peak inside once I a while. I'm trying ti figure out how they make my neighborhood smell so good but the beer taste so bad.

 

Went to Holy City Brewing earlier this week for 50 Shades of Green. Glad I did, cause it's all gone now.
