The Grocery Brewpub in Homewood, AL. None of their brews are available, they don't do flights. Decent selection of commercial craft beer plus several BMCs. I guess the tanks are just for show?

That's crazy, all that equipment just sitting there. In Good Hope there is a place called The Stash House Distillery, Brewery and Restaurant. They neither brew nor distill anything. Makes no sense.
 
I just ate here on 19 Feb 2023. We had snow on the ground but the fire pits were going strong. Great Pizza. I tried their Doppelbock and Franconian Braubier. All good. I would like to go when it is a little warmer.

Ha! I'm sure every season can be good. I go out of my way to visit there before banging right and heading to Maine.
 
Dayton OH, a working museum brewery.

Steele Head Brewing in Trussville, AL. They bought Slag Heap Brewing many months ago and have been open a couple of weeks. 6 beers plus a root beer on tap. Nice venue, some decent beer. I did have to wait a while for the server to get off a personal phone call to get another beer but not terrible. They do plan to add some darker beers which I prefer.

It's an old pic but a couple brought their scottie onto the porch. They asked if the place is dog friendly. I do a Google search of my photos say "see that winged back chair?" That's reserved for the family canine member Katie

@Rish how were their beers. I'm planning a trip to Ferris soon and I'll have to stop by there. I want to try their Italian Pilsner and that Dragonfruit Sour.
 
Both of those I thought were pretty good when I tried them a few weeks ago. Wasn't particularly impressed with the wit. Let me know when you're going to Ferus and I'll buy you a beer if I'm around.

Will do. I may go Saturday I have a cousin in UAB so I want to try to go see him too.

I finally made by there yesterday. Only had a few minutes so I was only able to have one beer but I did sample their lager and hazy IPA. I had a pint of their Italian Pilsner. All were quite tasty but I must admit I was impressed with Pilsner. I will definitely go back with more time one day soon. And I will let you know, maybe even schedule it in advance.

This was a good stop too. Another place with solid beers, this stout was like drinking Godiva dark chocolate, very chocolaty the high ABV was not highly noticeable or perhaps I was ready for more food. The food was good too and prepared in house.

Old 31 Brewing Co. in Spanish Fort, AL.View attachment 830403
I remember Spanish Fort from 50+ years ago when I was a fledgling Naval Aviator in Pensacola, FL. We revisited the area a few years back. Sure had changed. A lot.

Looks like a return visit is in order, with the first stop at Old 31!
 
Sampler flight at sunset at Grist Iron Brewery near Watkins Glen, NY, on the east shore of Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes region.

L to R: pale ale, WCIPA, Irish Red, and what’s left of a Kiwi Sour. I’m not particularly fond of sours, but as you can see it ‘evaporated’ before the others, all of which were quite nice.

We’re doing a week of breweries and wineries in upstate New York, traveling in our motor home and staying at Harvest Host locations on the brewery/winery properties. Perfect way to see the fall offerings and not drink and drive. The perfect weather has been an added plus.

Recently went to Denver and hit 13 breweries: Lowdown, Renegade, Our mutual friend, Ratio, Odell, River North, Bierstadt lagerhaus, Black sky (2x), Novel strand, Trve, Banded oak, Baere, & Jagged mountain. Bierstadt was having their Oktoberfest, and Black Sky had a concert. Also missed a couple I wanted to hit due to extenuating circumstances. Anyway, here's a couple pictures:
