Hey everyone,
So I have wanted to do something like this a long time, and now I feel I have a good reason to. To visit the best breweries and pubs in America! Obviously due to time and financial restraint, can't visit them all, but I have a rough image of the path taken and if I can manage to hit a lot of places not far off the path, I think that could be considered a win. Thinking about starting east out of Alabama to Atlanta and up to New York, get on I-80 which will take me close to Michigan, Wisconsin, through Illinois, and close to Colorado. From there head north to Washington/Oregon area, south to California and eventually east again on either I-40 or I-10/20. It wont be till fall at the earliest, realistically I am looking at spring 2011, but I have people who are interested in coming with, so that helps. I am just starting to piece together the list of place to go and I was hoping everyone here could give me a hand. I have a list partially made, and I know many will unfortunately end up getting cut, but I feel it is probably easier to start with the full list and cut down from there. Let me know what you think and if there are any good places I missed. Thanks in advance.
