Local Brews

Not sure if anyone is into Frosty Drafts and Micros? (I tend to lean this way when steering the family to a evening restaurant) Ran across two great breweries when travelling out West:

*Firehouse Brewery in Rapid City, SD

*Beaver Creek Brewery Wibaux, MT

Some excellent stouts and porters after a long day at the wheel!

Would love to hear from others on some similar hot spots around this great country!

Dayton, OH has at least 6 new breweries, of which Warped Wing Brewery is among my favorite. Their Flying Rye (9.5%) and their "10 Ton Stout" are awesome!

East coast but some good ones:

Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton VA. Great beer, good food, awesome views.


There are several great breweries in the area. There is a whole website for this area: brew ridge trail. It is near the blue ridge parkway.


In Bel Air Maryland there is the duclaw brewery.

There are 6 To 10 Micro Brewery's in the general Roanoke Virginia area / Franklin county....... has become very popular in this general area.

May because Franklin County was the moonshine capital.

Yee-Haw Brewing Company Johnson City, TN. Try the 80 Scotch Ale.

There are probably breweries and brew pubs in most areas of the country now, I just search Google for one any time I am traveling through a new area.

Thanks, I'm jotting these down for the next time out. Experience goes a long way!

I would take recommendations any day from this forum over Google or Yelp.

I will have to add New Holland Brewing(Dragons Milk & Mad Hatter) in Holland, MI & Atlantic Brewing (Ellens Coffee Stout) Bar Harbor, ME.

[randyf74]

For those of you travelling through Massachusetts.... A stop at the People's Pint in Greenfield should be at the top of the brewery list. They have been around a long time and my favorite two are the Farmer Brown and Oatmeal Stout.

If you are ever in northern Michigan go to Traverse City and do the brew tour. If I can remember correctly it takes you around to 7 different local micro brewery with so many good ones I can't remember them either.

Also just west of TC in Lake Ann is a new micro brewery that has a really good blonde ale called the Village Blonde. It is one of my favorites.

+1 Very good brew pub. The restaurant there is also great!

There are so many amazing breweries here in New England, it's hard to just single out one or a few.

Just got back from a trip to Michigan. We recommend New Holland, Saugatuck Brewing, Founders and Bells.

If ever in Maine try the Shipyard "Import". Had one yesterday, it is a good tasting brew.

Try the Untappd app to keep track of all the beers you try and also to get local recommendations when you're in a new area. BTW, I'm at 440 distinct beers so far! 😄
