Not a huge fan of flights in the brewery setting, but there used to be a place here in Pittsburgh (Monroeville, actually) where you could buy 5 or 6 five oz. tasters of whatever they had on draught. Quite useful for those high ABV beers that you didn't want to drink a whole pint of but you wanted to try multiple of those types of beers in one session.
I had a trip planned primarily around Vermont / Maine next month but I made a few revisions to where I'll be checking off Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut and if flight is not delayed Rhode Island. My wife just had a conference come up in July where I'll be two hours drive from New Glarus so I grabbed a car and Wisconsin will be on the board. Now I'm plotting all the intentional layovers I can do when I travel, which I was already doing anyway. My trip to Side Project last year was courtesy of an intentional six hour side trip that cost the same as the direct flight.
I vibe-coded up a visualizer that me and my friend are using as trackers. If there's interest I can publish to Github.

Well crap. Only have Misery and ass-backwards Sasnak on my state list so far with numerous breweries in each state. Now when I'm finally, fully, retired-retired & take my (now increased from one to probably three years) rest-of-the-states breweries tour, I'll get back to you. & like others have said, I just don't travel much.
I don’t travel tonnes, and tend to prefer good beer bars to breweries when I do so as to try a wider variety. I also avoid breweries when travelling with the kids. I think I’ve only got Vermont, New York and Pennsylvania. Maybe Missouri. That said, I’ve enjoyed beers in 15-20 minimum in the first two. For a real challenge, do the same for all 13 Canadian provinces and Territories. That 13th one is going to be a real challenge!
Ha! I actually pulled up my maps app and just counted the states that fit. I came up with 22 (to include DC). Mostly missing the non-Atlantic coast South, the breadbasket portion of the Midwest (excluding NE), and a couple small New England states. Mild surprises for states that I couldn’t count as I traversed the map were Georgia and Washington state.
Off the top of my head PA VT NY NC TN MN WI NJ CA OH MA CO DE MI VA FL ME NH DC Might be a few more but this is a pretty close list. Enjoy
No, they closed and were supposed to open in a new space but never did. I still have a bunch of gift cards I can’t spend. Oh well, life goes on. Enjoy
Had some at few breweries now defunct, so they don't count. Research is required. I will say lately unless it's a must do, I'd rather hit a great Multi-Tap joint
