What breweries have you toured/visited

Brewpubs don't count.....unless you actually got a tour of their onsite operation.

I hope to add to my list greatly within the next 5-6 yrs:

Yeungling, Pottsville PA
Heavy Seas, Baltimore MD
Flying Dog, Frederick MD
Outer Banks Brewing Station, Kill Devil Hills NC

Next on my hitlist:
Dogfish Head
Forham/Evolution
Troegs
Lancaster Brewing
Harpoon
Brewers Art
Brewers Alley

I don't remember them all, but some of my favorites have been:

Lakefront- Milwaukee
Hoppin' Frog- Akron, OH
Surly- Minneapolis

I liked Summit also (in Minneapolis) because I loved seeing their German copper clad equipment and their awesome lab.

I just did my first at Big Boss brewery in raleigh NC. In may me and three friends are staying in Asheville NC for four days just to enjoy their beer scene, so after that I plain on adding at least four onto the list.

Great lakes, dogfish, main street, cellar rats

Thomas Hooker in CT, Alagash in ME, Smuttynose and Throwback in NH, Newport Storm in RI. I know there've been others, but they escape me at the moment.

I've been to Hooker a couple times and seen some changes they've made to their facility over the past few years, which has been cool. The big boys are constantly upgrading their stuff too!

I plan to visit Smutty again in a couple years when they open their new facility, just to see how much different it is, while seeing the difference in Smutty (an established regional brewery that's pretty much outgrown its current facility) and Throwback (a nano just hitting its stride) in a single afternoon was pretty dang cool!

Westbrook- Charleston, SC
NoDa- Charlotte, NC
Sweetwater- Atlanta, GA
Good People- Birmingham, AL
Avondale- Birmingham, AL

All cool places to check out

The one and only Brewery I have toured was the Krombacher brewery in Krombach, Germany. I spoke just enough German to understand what was going on. Afterwards however, we were treated to free all you could drink Krombacher in their little restaurant. My German was much better after that

Why don't brewpubs count? Some of the best beers I've ever had were at brewpubs.

I have all my brewery/brewpub/distillery/winery trips plotted on my Google Earth. I've been to 57 as of last week's trip to Vermont. I don't really tour them anymore because they're all pretty much the same. All I care about now is tasting the beer!

They DO count, if you have actually toured the production area. If all you did was walk in and have a beer, then they don't count. At least that is how I understood it from the OP

I've pretty much have only been to Three Floyds, before it was a brewpub. You just walked into the warehouse and they had the tanks and everything right there with a little window to sell you draft and bottled beer. I was there for the 04 Dark Lord release. Only about 10 or 15 people were there. Kinda crazy how huge it is now.

It was a pretty cool tour. Very friendly, I felt like they were family by the end of the tour. A few people on the tour took advantage of the friendliness and got behind the bar and started pouring beer on their own. Besides that the staff was nice enough to let us try a batch of the Octoberfest that was mightly delicious. The girl that did the tour was pretty cute too

Anheiser Bush - VA
Flying Dog - MD
Thomas Creek - SC

Hmm, just tours then I'm pretty sure this is the list:

While I was stationed in England, I went on a tour of Arkell's brewery, they offer 2 tours, the long tour and the beer drinker's tour. I opted for the beer drinker's. You fill up a pint glass, take the tour and go back to the "tap room" for a full buffet and all the beer you can drink. It was awesome!

Also went to the Jameson factory in Ireland and the Bacardi factory in Peurto Rico!

I love doing tours of these places.
