    I lost track, as I've been doing it for a long time. So long that the number that I have been to no longer in operation would be fairly large.

    Not as many as you, but at least 18 I think.

    Took me awhile to remember all of mine.
    Many I had forgotten about.

    Really impressed, but a bit too far for me to get to frequently. Certainly on a par with any of the best. That said, a friend just gave me Mexican Brunch and its barrel aged version. Yay!

    I have reviewed 84 breweries on here which I am guessing is around 1/4 of the ones I have visited. I have pretty much given up on reviewing them of late, as there doesn't seem to be much interest in them anymore.

    Currently at 134. Sometimes the brewery experience is more interesting than the beers.

    Overseas, I spent a semester in the UK so almost every other pub I went to had their own ale. Spent weekends in Amsterdam so saw Heineken and Munich/Bamberg.

    Slightly embarassing to post this, but I'm sure many people put this to shame. Obviously, a strong 'local' bent as it seems I'm determined to get to every brewery in my home state at least once.

    I put >200 and I’d estimate by a very large margin. In addition to general family and friends fun I go to a lot of breweries while traveling for work. Typically 6 work trips a year and I’ll hit 10-15 breweries each time. Evenings are almost always free time for me during work trips and now that uBer exists it’s very easy to bounce around to a bunch of places I want to check out.
    I’ve got a week in Chicago coming up. Should add a bunch more!

    I went to quite a few years ago before I became interested in craft beer. Budweiser in NH and Matt in Utica come to mind.
    I live in an area of Massachusetts where there seems to be a brewery in every city. I think I’ve hit 90% of them.
    My favorite ones I’ve visited, where the people working there were the friendliest and really nice though were Cigar City and Night Shift.
