Favorite Tap Room

Tired Hands, Creature Comforts, Wicked Weed

 

I haven't been to many but I enjoyed my times at Funky Buddha and Wormtown.

 

The new Jack's Abby location is just fantastic. Wish I lived closer and could visit more than a couple times a year.

 

Brewery Becker (They have a wide range of well crafted beer styles in a very nicely done historic building with a cool beer garden. Also very important, good choice of crafty NA beverages for non-drinkers or designated drivers.)

 

I'm going to say Lakefront in Milwaukee. Fun vibe and great deal with their tour. It's like eight bucks for the tour, four samples (good size), a pint glass, and then a coupon for a free pint of their's at a bar close by.

Three Floyds has great food, so I'm able to get my girlfriend to head there.

 

La Cumbre locally. Feels like home. They treat me well.

Other Half in NYC is awesome for being such a hole in the wall and always pumping hip-hop (very few breweries get down with this music). But honestly, if we're talking NYC, Singlecut is a way cool tap room.

Outside the city, I loved Newburgh's big, second-floor, airy beer hall space. Video games and cornhole too.

Jester King is my favorite in Texas for the farmhouse feel alone, although I would agree with the Austin Beer Works mention and would even throw in Hops and Grain.

Dragoon in Arizona is my favorite in that state for the intimate feel and cool people, although Mother Road is another cool hole-in-the-wall.

In Colorado, Odell gets my vote. Love the kid-friendly outdoor space (we're talking summer here).

I'll wait to pick one in Cali till after my trip in a few weeks.

Holy Mountain in Seattle is a cool open aired space and damn if those guys aren't pumping out some badass beers.

Weyerbacher's taproom is right in the warehouse of the brewery. You see forklifts moving around and just about all the bells and whistles you'd find in a busy brewery. Neshaminy Creek is also cool and they have a lot more on tap.

 

Odell's (amazing patio)
Blue Mountain
New Belgium
Devil's Backbone
Ithaca
Saranac (FX Matt)

 

Clachaig Inn, Glencoe, Argyll, Scotland.

 

Modern Times Fermentorium in San Diego is a super funky place with some great beer and cold brewed coffee on tap.

 

Troegs has a cool feel, a do it yourself brewery tour, and some of the best gourmet food from local fresh ingredients going.

Three Floyds has the industrial, hard metal thing and amazing beer thing down and good food as well

Founders , Bells as honorable mention

 

NEBCO?

 

Near me Hangar 24. There's nothing like watching planes takeoff and land.
Others- Russian River, Sante Adairus, Barrelhouse, Stone.

 

Thanks for the nod!

 

Founder's, Victory (Parkesburg), Sierra Nevada (Mills River) are likely my top three.

 

I forgot Creature Comforts in Athens. Great place, great atmosphere, great brews. Wish it was local.

 

I have a short attention span and prefer what ever tap room I happen to be in at the time. Although I must admit that Surly is pretty nice.

Firestone Walker (both locations)
