What is your neighborhood brewery?

[clairecunn83]

Living smack dab in the middle of SA and Austin, TX, I'm within 40 miles of many great breweries. But, we do have a few breweries here in New Braunfels, TX...Guadalupe Brew Co., New Braunfels Brew Co., and The Faust Brew Co.

The latter 2 are mediocre at best, but Guadalupe Brew Co brews some world class, exceptional beers! Give them a try if you ever spot one of their brews. Their Scotch Ale and Honey Ale are award winners, and their stouts are impressive, as well.

Fathead's in North Olmsted is 30-45 minutes away. Great lakes is at least an hour away in Cleveland. Hoppin' Frog & Thirsty Dog are at least 2 hours away. Nothing like those anywhere near where I live so I wouldn't have to drive so far.

Sounds like Brew Kettle is in you neck of the woods. Have you tried their Black Rajah?

I also happen to be the assistant brewer at one of those breweries (one of the smaller ones)

 

[Talgrath]

I just moved, but my old local breweries were in Redmond, Black Raven, Mac and Jacks Hi Fi and Bushnell, listed in order of preference. My nearest one now is Big E's Ales, haven't been in yet.

 

[te-wa]

Phoenix and it's suburbs is a big city. i don't have a "neighborhood" brewery; the closest is AZ Wilderness. but, the Beer Research Institute is coming soon and about 6 miles away. then again, some of our stuff is worth the drive, like Fate up in scottsdale. i need a great brewery in E. Mesa, so i guess i'll have to open one myself?

Oh yeah? Which one? I'll be working for Fair Winds once it gets up and running.

Adroit Theory. When is Fair Winds supposed to open?

Adroit Theory. When is Fair Winds supposed to open?

Hopefully sooner rather than later. I'll leave it to them to announce exactly when.

Also, I still need to hit Adroit Theory, but I have an allergic reaction to Loudoun County so I'm never out there if I can help it. Was last weekend for once, but didn't have time to pop in as much as I wanted to.

Arizona Wilderness is one of my favorites! I've made the drive up to PHX a few times just to have a flight and lunch.

It's hard to believe that here in the center of California I find myself in the beer Netherlands. Our neighborhood brewery is Tioga-Sequoia (Fresno) and they don't make very good beer IMO.

There are many places in Portland, but right near me is a small brewpub called The Liberal Cup. Their beer is pretty damn good and they usually have something cask conditioned also. 20 oz pints for $3.50-$4.00 and great food.

Back Bay Brewing
Gordon Biersch
Green Flash (coming soon)

[Aileen]

My neighborhood breweries that most people have heard of are Oskar Blues and Left Hand, they're within 10 minutes of me.
There are a ton of great breweries within an hour of me, though, I'm very lucky!

 

[Icepicktrotski]

O'Fallon Brewery is the closest. Most well known is probably Schlafly, which is just a lil bit further away.

 

[Rivenin]

Only about 50 within 20-30 minutes
My nearby favorites are HUB, Laurelwood, and Cascade.

Honolulu Brew Works. About 35 miles away and w/traffic about 45 min. Only parking is metered on the street if you are lucky so I don't go very often. Mater of fact only been there once. Food was good, but the beer only average but then I only tried two of about 8 they had on tap.

I moved to SD 2 yrs. ago. Very fortunate to have Stone, Ballast Point, Mission, Lost Abby, Mother Earth all within 20 min.

I feel you man living in San Diego we are a bit spoiled when it comes to craft beer.

Where do you place your probe?

 

[beers4girls2]

I have about a 5 minute walk to Cole St. Brewing. In the summers he opens up the bay doors and we have a beautiful view of Mt. Rainier. He also allows our pups to hang out with us as we enjoy a cold brew, good conversation and one of the best views in the world!

[doverox]

5 years ago we serendipitously moved into what would be the center of the chicago microbrew boom, logan square. i'm walking distance from revolution brewery and ale syndicate/arcade. atlas, pipeworks, dryhop, spiteful, and half acre are all less than a 10 minute drive.
it's a problem.

 

[HopSong]

Sockeye, Payette, and 10Barrel. Barley Brown's is about an hour drive. Bunch of small breweries in town as well.

Lots of good breweries in your area.. I like Crooked Fence too. But, sadness happens.. I see 10 Barrel was bought out by In-Bev (Bud) Another great craft brewery bought by big money. Can't blame the guys.. but, sooooo sad. Been counters will change it despite what the guys said.
