I am looking to visit a city in the Mid Atlantic region with a couple of good not highly distributed breweries. It would be nice to visit a place with 3-4 breweries close enough to not worry about driving miles in-between. Any suggestions?
I was definitely thinking this one. Any suggestions on a brewery I might not be familiar with coming from NY?
DC - http://beeradvocate.com/place/city/19/ - multiple breweries starting with DC Brau Richmond - http://beeradvocate.com/place/city/72/ - I believe I would start with Strangeways
If you're looking for some local breweries out in the Philly northern suburbs that I'm sure you haven't had: Forest & Main (awesome brewpub-only beers) Round Guys, Prism, Free Will (have taprooms at the breweries, and limited distribution in the area)
Just south of Shenandoah National Park in Virginia there's a stretch of highway with three breweries within about a mile or 2 of each other: Blue Mountain, Wild Wolf and Devil's Backbone. It's beautiful down there, and if you sit out on the porch at Devil's Backbone it is one of the most scenic and beautiful places to have a beer.
