Beercation 500

Närke Kulturbryggeri is too far at 590 miles, so I'll say Warpigs at 500.

 

Well, a 500 mile radius from where I live would leave about 50 miles short of both Missoula MT, and the OR-CA border. Since Bend is within that arc, why go elsewhere?

 

Let me get back to you on this one.

 

This is a tough one. For just beer...Hill Farmstead, but there's nothing to do at the brewery. So I'll say Dogfish Head, the one near the beach (406 miles). A couple blocks from the beach, with food and a pretty cool full bar/grille setting. Sam makes a lot of fun beers, so I bet it would be a blast.

 

Sierra Nevada its only 200 away from me

 

Crux Fermenation

 

They kind of seem to be frowned upon in this forum that I've noticed, but I'd probably go to Dogfish Head.

 

I agree. I've outgrown my road trip phase. They are never as much fun as they sound.

 

Tired Hands

 

If there was just one green/white/checker, I'd say Hill Farmstead, which is 503 miles as the crow flies...

 

I was thinking about Montreal, myself, but I could be persuaded either way .

 

I would go to Decorah for TG. Only 389 miles away. My caveat is that I would magically show up on a day they release one of their stouts.

 

My cellar, which is like...30 feet away But in all seriousness, I've got it great here. Odd 13 (local place 4 miles away) or Avery (10 miles) would make me quite happy. Icing on the cake would be Casey Brewing and Blending (176 miles).

 

Toppling Goliath.

 

Dogfish Head Brewing in Milton, DE: 108 miles;

Hardywood in Richmond, VA: 164 miles;

Devil's Backbone Brewing in Roseland, VA: 176 miles;

Brooklyn Brewery in Brooklyn, NY: 245 miles;

Church Bew Works in Pittsburg, PA: 305 miles;

Southern Tier Brewing in Lakewood, NY: 314 miles;

Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown, NY: 349 miles; and

Great Lakes Brewing in Cleveland, OH: 439 miles, to name a few!

 

We've been fortunate enough to checkout a lot of amazing breweries, but one I haven't been to yet is Jackie O's. That's 571 miles, though. I've traded for a lot of Odd Side stuff, but never been to the brewery, which is 310 miles away.

 

Good Beer Company in LA or The Libertine

 

Making the roughly 400 mile trip down to Tired Hands in a couple weeks; so that's where I'm going!

 

Nice, I'll need to hit this on my next trip home.

 

There's so many AMAZING breweries within 500 miles of me I could take a 2 week long beercation and not spend more than one day at a single one.

Founders, bells, dark horse, fat head, Great Lakes, hoof hearted, mad tree, vivant, odd side, shorts, three floyds, Revolution, goose island...there's some more real obvious ones that escape me at the moment...

Going to head to Chicago and back through 3 floyds then through the eastern Michigan breweries before too long
