What brewery are you visiting?

[Dfitz]

I like to hit Three Floyds on a monthly basis, then I usually hit out local brewery with a minimal selection once or twice a month. There's a liquor store by one of the shops I visit in Hammond Ind. who almost ALWAYS have a couple cases of Zombie Dust on hand.

Finished up the day at Quantum Brewing in San Diego. Beers were ok.

Dave, sometime you should venture out to Excelsior Brewery near Lake Minnetonka. IMO, it's the best brewery I've been to out of the 20 breweries in the Twin Cities area. My favorite is their Bitteschlappe Brown Ale, but They have at least 8 or 10 different brews on tap at any given time. Gotta say I really miss that brewery since moving to Florida last October.

Oops, just noticed that I replied to Dfitz instead of Dave......my bad.

So this is not quite a brewery visit but close. Tomorrow is a town street festival in Bristol, VT called Pocock Rocks. Hogback Mountain Brewery is doing a tap takeover a local restaurant, Cubbers. The owner of the brewery, Kevin Hanson, will be there serving up samples and chatting with the people. I plan to stop in and see what is going on, try some samples, drink a pint and maybe chat with Kevin before I head off to some other afternoon plans. At some point though, I would like to check out his brewery. It is a 1.5BBL nanobrewery that ferments double batches in 3BBL fermenters.

How are things going at The Bobcat these days? Have they got the brewery back up and running? Our brewclub (based out of Manchester) stopped in last summer when they were still waiting for their TTB license update, but we did get to taste the barrel aged porter.

They are up and brewing, these days. I wish they brewed an IPA, but everything else is good anyway. And great food! I only moved to Bristol 2 1/2 months ago. But I only moved from Shelburne so I had heard of them and had wanted to go there for the longest time but never got around to it until after moving to town. The previous owners of the house we bought actually gave us a gift certificate to The Bobcat. Can't be mad about that!

Golden Road has a new location in Anaheim. I'll probably stop by for a drink, and head out to Noble to pick up a couple of bottles of I Love It APA.

 

[jplowe]

A few weeks ago I visited Creature Comforts brewery in Athens Georgia. It was fun. They had an alright Pilsner, a gross Gose and an Awesome sour. I believe there was also a pineapple IPA but maybe i'm mistaken. Great brewery if you are in the area!

I like most all of Excelsior's beers, but I don't get over to that side of town too often. I'll have to plan a trip over there sometime.

I could spend all day here if my family would let me!

hitting up New Glarus (again, yearly thing) and will take some pictures, beautiful brewery, still ridiculous pricing for a brewery it's size, but still good.

 

[woo_pig]

I am currently sitting in Spencer Devons .Taking advantage of happy hour and getting off early for the fourth of July. It's cool because they use a couple of recipe from a couple of local home brew clubs .

 

[Scturo]

Will be taking the wife to the new Golden Road in Anaheim tonight. See what's new.

 

[303Dan]

Crow Hop Brewing in Loveland, CO. I live near here but have never been in. Didn't care for their Pale or IPA, but their Hefeweizen is pretty decent.

 

[Lifer59]

Heading for Revolver Brewing tomorrow.

 

[Murphys_Law]

Big Choice and Knight Hawk in Broomfield, CO. Big Choice had a pretty decent Gose on tap.

 

[lincolnubrewer]

Will be hitting a few local breweries this week, tired hand on top of the list. Pics to come

 

[k1ngl1ves]

Heading to GR tomorrow to see my beloved brewery Perrin! There's supposed to be a new brewery called Greyline or something. Gotta check that out too. Then round out the evening at good ol' Founder's...

 

[daveMN]

At Excelsior in MN. Had a California Common called "Boaty McBoatface. Picking up a growler for a party too.

Yep, I've been there many times until moving to Florida last October. I really miss their Bitteschlappe Brown Ale....best I've ever had. Btw Dave, I think I suggested to you to visit Excelsior Brewery in a previous post. Next time you go say hi to John Klick (owner) and Niles the head brewer.

Actually, their brown ale is the reason I started home brewing. I hope to clone Bitteschlappe some day.

 

[brick_haus]

Nexus last Friday night, Hall Brewing and barnett and sons last night (Parker Co. ), Elk mountain and Dry Dock tonight. Tue night back to Albuquerque to Marble and La Cumbre. Then to Flagstaff to Mother Road, Lumber Yard etc. Wed night. Then home to SoCal.

I kid you not, we are averaging a brewery visit just about every other day!
We RV around the country with our dogs and they blog about each one we go to. We are on week 5 of the current trip and have been up from Houston, through Arkansas, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, the UP, Wisconsin, and now in Springfield, IL on our slow way back down. More breweries to come. Follow our adventures! www.twobrewdogs.com @twobrewdogs on twitter, #twobrewdogs on instagram and twobrewdogs on facebook.

Lots of reviews of all the breweries we hit and the beers we drink.

You did suggest that, in fact. Good motivation to get me over there. I've enjoyed several Bitteschlappes in the past, so I wanted to get something I can't normally get.
That place was packed late afternoon, but it's a holiday weekend after all. Nice outside patio.

It was my birthday so the wife surprised me with a visit to Thimble Island Brewing Company in Branford, CT...let me tell you delicious beer! Their American Ale was on point and so was their wheat beer! Here's a few pics...if you're ever in the area I highly recommend a visit!View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1467696864.752449.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1467696893.788830.jpg

I visited Maui Brewing Company this past Friday with my wife. We went for drinks in the evening and an employee noticed us peeking though the door to the fermentation chambers. Even though it was 10pm, he offered us an impromptu tour. Very nice facility, very nice employees and good beer.

 

[Sourz4life]

Ricker hills. Got to try their blue berry cider, black select, hopped, extra dry and their Ice Wine. They also have a new cider on tap that won't be bottle, tropical vacation cider(which was amazing by the way). This is my girlfriends favorite cider makers so she loved it. I also mixed their maple cider with blueberry because why not?

 

[Brewenstein]

Hit up Church Brew Works in Pittsburgh this past weekend while visiting our daughter and helping her move. They bought a vacant church and converted it to a German style beer hall / brewery.

Love that place! Not only is the beer solid, but the food is excellent too, and you can't ask for much more in terms is an asthetically pleasing brewery! Their copper equipment is gorgeous, and the building renovation is amazing!
