Hoping to hit a bunch more of the Maine Breweries this summer like Fore River and Rising Tide and hopefully make it out to Vermont and check out Hill Farmstead, Fiddlehead, Switchback, and Otter Creek.

6, CCB being the favorite

 

Most are local but here I go

1.Trevier Brewery - Ulsan, SK
-Great hoppy lager and other german style beers. Beers are solid and their beer quality is controlled very well.

2.Gorilla Brewery - Busan, SK
Recently built brewpub in Busan. Very nice hoppy ipa.

3.Amazing Brewing Company - Seoul, SK
IPA, saison and stout are literally "amazing". Great atmosphere and best taplist in South Korea.

4.Steindorf - Seoul, SK
Mainly European style beers, nice banana-y weizen but disappointing pa, ipa.

5.Budnamu Brewery - Gangnung, SK
Use lots of local ingredients. Their pinecity saison was great and creative.

6.Playground Brewery - Ilsan, SK
Great price and decent beers. Located in middle of nowhere but it is worth a visit. Their foods are awesome.

7.De La Senne - Belgium
Small taproom with small tap selection and bottle selection.

8.Cantillon Brewery - Belgium
The best brewery I've ever been. Best brewery tour, best souvenir shop and best tap room. Forgot to mention, best sour in the world.

 

Lots...yesterday was Russian River. Will hit up Lagunitas later this week. Brewery I would like to revisit - Crazy Donkey on the island of Santorini, Greek Isles.

 

Starting with my first brewery tour (Utica Club) when I was 9, I've been to dozens and dozens of breweries since. I've been to all 9 breweries in my town, and 10/11 in my county. I would really have to sit and think to get any kind of real idea of the actual number, but it stretches from Tampa (Ybor City Brewing and TBBC) to New England (Long Trail) all the way out to the PNW and down to Cali.

 

Approximately 40. Atlanta/Athens GA, ones close to home (Creature Comforts, Terrapin, Southern Brewing, Orpheus, Burnt Hickory, Three Taverns, Sweetwater, Hop Alley, Cherry St Co Op, 5 Seasons, Gordon Biersch, Twains.......still plenty to hit in the hometown area....Moon River in Savannah, Hilton Head Brewing on HHI). Trips to Asheville (Wicked Weed, Funkatorium, Burial, Asheville Brewing, Oskar Blues, Sierra Nevada, Wedge)........Chicago (Three Floyds, Half Acre, Revolution).....Vermont (Vermont Pub and Brew, Zero Gravity, Fiddlehead, Hill Farmstead, Von Trapp, Lost Nation, Rock Art, Pro Pig....also hit Trillium flying into/out of Boston on this trip....ready to go back so can hit Tree House and few others that missed out on).......SF/Santa Rosa (Russian River, Lagunitas, Marin, Drakes, Cellarmaker, Cooperage, Bear Republic). Right Proper in DC, Aardwolf in Jax, NoDa in Charlotte, a few others Im probably not remembering right now.
