Rather than just **** on Contemplatebeer's thread, I thought I'd start one of my own (you know, trying to be positive and whatnot).
Do you live in a big city with tons of breweries and have one or two favorites? What do you like about them, and what makes them stand out from the rest?
Do you live in the middle of nowhere and think the one local brewpub is pretty cool?
We don't have a ton of breweries on the island (4 to be exact), but my favorite is Big Island Brewhaus. It is has a super laid-back local vibe. It's usually busy, but not TOO busy, and has a cool little outdoor seating area. They do mostly "classic" beer styles (i.e., they are, in most cases, 5-10 years behind what's going on at the hypest mainland breweries), but they do them well. Good IPAs, lagers, stouts/porters.
My favorite beer they make is Red Sea of Cacao, an imperial red ale with chocolate, molasses, sea salt and pink peppercorns. It sounds weird but it's delicious. Foodwise, I would say the menu is Mexican-ish (with some local twists like poke etc.). Not the best food ever, but the ingredients are super fresh and it's pretty good for what it is.
Looking forward to hearing about your favorite local spots.
