Best US Microbreweries

[danath34]

I live in Albuquerque, and I hope you can make it here to try our beer. Albuquerque is a hidden gem for craft brew. we have something like 16 microbreweries. my list would be as follows (in order of priority):

1) La Cumbre
2) Bosque Brewing
3) Il Vicino

though a REALLY good choice that is fairly new would be B2B. it's a brewery itself, and though I haven't tried much of it yet, what I have had so far ( coconut porter and cherry stout) has been awesome. but you have the added convenience of a huge beer list filled with only local craft brews. they have brews from marble, cumbre, vicino, and several others ( though no bosque unfortunately). you can try a good deal of beer from different local places in one sitting.

I can't tell if the Sal Lake NV was meant to be Utah. But if your headed to UT try to make it to Park City. Its pretty relaxed there and have two breweries that I can think of. Wasatch brewery and Squatters. I thought the beer was less than okay but its the novelty of it. Hanging out with Mormons who'll drink beer I mean.

Skip Greensboro, go to Asheville instead and be sure to visit Wicked Weed

I only suggested Greensboro because that was a city listed on their travel plans. I would go to Raleigh before I went to Asheville. You could visit 30 breweries and never go more than 30 miles.

I'd suggest giving Los Angeles a pass and either spending an extra day in SD or hit the Santa Rosa area heading out of SF. There are good beers to be had in LA, but on a limited time table there's better spots.
