Chillin at Sierra Nevada tonight at the Mills River, NC location. Having some great beers and small plate food.

I really want to get down to the Asheville area again one of these days... S.N. hadn't opened up that location yet when I moved from NC to PA a couple years ago.

That's on my list of places to visit when I'm in San Diego this summer visiting relatives. I hit up White Labs last summer and that was pretty interesting. They do a flight of one style with different yeast strains.

Haven't been to S.D. in quite a few years, so much good beer there! I definitely want to make White Labs part of my tour next time I get out there!

Had a pretty good weekend. We hit Insurrection Ale works, Spoonwood brewing and HitchHiker brewing. I'm mostly an IPA/DIPA guy. Insurrection had a very good DIPA- el stoopido. Spoonwood had several good ones, Dragon chaser was my favorite from them. The only one I tried at hitchhiker was barbarian IPA. Grabbed a few glasses and growlers. Overall it was a success!

@jimmerz, next time you're down in the area of Insurrection, you also should check out Apis in downtown Carnegie...our local meadery! Usually has at least one, sometimes two hopped meads -- not bittered, but deliciously fruity and aromatic.

Insurrection is indeed very good already, and the head brewer is already planning on expanding; wants to open up a satellite brewing site somewhere further out, perhaps South Fayette? Plans on having an open coolship to do more wild fermentations!

Will do, thanks. I need more breweries in my area. (Mars).

We were in Kennewick for the weekend so stopped at Ice Harbor on Clover Island. I had their Harvest Pale, had a really strange hop flavor (I love IPA's, the hoppier the better, but this one tasted like juniper). Husband had the Tangerine Exbeerience, wish I had gone with that one. Then on the way home we stopped at HopNation in Yakima, brought home a growler each of their ESBeotch and Daily Weiss, almost killed the whole growler of the Weiss last night, it's fabuloso. Thinking of doing a Weiss for my next batch.

Cascade in Portland is tops on my list

 

[cazs_98]

Nice list, but useless without pics

Sorry not a picture guy. If there were pics what are the agreed upon pics, brewery or the beer?

Three of us did a blind taste test, interesting results. Heady and sip of sunshine were not in the top three.

 

[day_trippr]

Not a brewery, but a 400 year old rum distillery on Tortola, and allegedly still using the original copper still. The 10 year barrel aged stuff was so smooth and tasty we were compelled to pick up a couple of fifths for our sippin' needs...

Wow! The only 2 I've actually had from your list are SOS and HT. Both I thought were delicious...

 

[JayDog]

Hidden Springs yesterday, and Green Bench today. Southern Homebrew tomorrow, my favorite Berliner and homebrew supplies.

Yep, in Sioux Falls.
In the twin cities, I suppose Surly is worth the trip; I've heard good things about Fair State's taproom but haven't been there yet. Lots of others to choose from.

Fair State is less than a mile from me, and I will let you know that it is a really great brewery. They have an awesome sour program going on and both their Vienna Lager and Schwarzbier are excellent.

Mike Hess having the Vienna.

The Vienna is killer. You gotta hit up alesmith while you're down there. It's like 5 mins from hess.

Killing some time at culture brewing with a black IPA

Have been to both Sleeping Giant in Thunder Bay, ON and Rebellion Brewing in Regina, SK. Oh and Lake of the Woods Brew Co in Kenora, ON.

 

[k1ngl1ves]

Hit up Arrowhead Brewery tonight (New Lenox, IL). Very nice lineup. No pics, 'cus they also had Hailstorm's Vlad the Conquistador (ris with peppers and tequila barrel aged... 13.1%), and that drew the night short. Lol!

Local brewery, with great beer, great food (seriously great), also serving another local brewery's great beer. Fantastic! Lol!


Next up is a return trip to Perrin in Michigan in two weeks. Can't wait. I miss her so...

 

[Murphys_Law]

Will likely be going to Liquid Mechanics (Lafayette, CO) tomorrow.
