Thought this would make a good topic of conversation. Plus, since I've never been to one other than my own this will be a good reference. Ready, GO!
If you want to see an ultra modern brewery, check out Southern Tier in Lakewood, NY. It's packed to the gills with technology.
Looks like I'm going to need a passport and a lot of extra dough to see most of these! The wife and I plan on taking a gap year and traveling over seas sometime within the next year. That'll be the perfect opportunity. Imagine Dublin on St. Pat's day!
FYI St. Patricks day is more of a religious holiday in Ireland than a excuse to get drunk, and eat corned beef and cabbage while dying the river green.
However I will second touring The St. James Gate.

(I've been to London during St. Patty's Day (unfortunately not Dublin). Let's just say that the Guinness was flowing quite liberally even amongst the English.)
I was at 3F not too long ago.. would like to go to Cigar City.
Does anyone know where Smiddy's is brewed? It's in Ireland correct?
Sam Adams is a great place. Their passion for beer can be seen through the while tour. As for the tasting, they always have an experiment or two on tap that they don't commercially sell.
While not a huge fan of Tequiña, I'd love to get back to Bolivia. There's a brewery/hostel in La Paz I want to check out.Tequiña Brewery in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Nestled in the foothills of the Andes mountains.

Lagunitas is a ton of fun. They have some munchies and live music to go with the beer. Good times.
saw sam adams a few weeks ago and its not that i was disappointed but i was a little unimpressed. very small brewery in boston ( i know most of their brewing is done in ohio or somewhere around there now) but when it came to the tasting you were given 3 difference samples. one being boston lager (of course) the other being sam summer (the seasonal) which is all great but being from the area i have over consumed so much boston lager and sam summer that i didnt really want it. i wanted to try something new. they did have a third on they called 26.2 it was brewed for the boston marathon and could only be had in bars along the routes of the boston marathon that had just taken place that week. it was a beer with some salt adjunct in it that tasted ok for what it was, but i didnt think it was a great beer.
not that its anything spectacular, but if you are in the area to do the Sam Adams tour, head out from there and book it cross town to the sea port out by the silver line on the T and check out the Harpoon brewery. Again, nothing great, but they do have an awesome 2 hour tasting session. get your tickets early because it fills really fast. its not exactly a tour but they do have a causeway you can walk out onto and look at the brewery.
