On vacation, on meds...and drinking this **** whilst pondering the cosmos (and my fragrant ballsack).
Enjoy.
Drank last November while visiting relatives back home. Awesome stuff.

Austin - I had the Shiner Family Reunion pack and my wife said the peach (brewer special) was really good - do they have it sold separately there?
Yes! 24 oz bombers. As soon as Shiner announces a new release, I'm on it. Peach was good. My wife liked it. Great summer beer.
Keystone light. I have personally declared it the greatest beer ever.
That dog is a female. I see her nipples
I've been digging some Goses lately. Geeses? Gosies? I'm not sure. Perfect for summer. The salt will be a big hurdle for some, but it actually makes it more refreshing and great for the sweltering months.
Dude, just earlier had a Sierra Nevada/Avery collab sour. It was perfect
Avery makes some good ****. I've only recently started to put weight into entire brewers.. where as for more or less the last decade, I just had different beers from all over.
Avery, 21st Amendment, and Ballast Point never disappoint.
Just did a road trip to Cape Cod for the week, and hit 3 breweries and had roughly a dozen different local cans. Putting it on a map and will post it here with some thoughts. While the Cape is pretty lame, and Massachusetts people are the GD worst group of people to roam the Earth.. it was a solid beer trip that any beer fan should try and accomplish.

How spread out are there? Are there areas or trips/trails you can take?
That's what someone should do.. Go around and come up with all different brew routes you can take if you're in a particular area.

To where? What trails? **** man, this isn't Lewis and Clark
Ha, there's a ton of areas, all across the nation, where you can hit up a few brewers within a half hour of each other. Kind of like the Bourbon Trail. But much closer.
I'll be going on another Mass one.. and then hoping to get out to Portland Maine to see Allagash/Shipyard/Peak Organic/Foundation/Sebago.
Heck, Portland already has this covered, although a lot of the breweries seem to be pretty local to Maine.

Indeed. Love such areas. No need to drive.
Austin offers such a trail, or "district", if you will. 6 breweries are now located within about a 1.5 square-mile area.
Austin Beerworks
Adelbert's Brewery
Celis Brewing
Oskar Blues Brewery Austin
4th Tap Brewing Cooperative
Circle Brewing Company
Last year, I participated in bicycle beer run between Adelbert's, 4th Tap and Circle. Cool stuff.
Little Rock, AR and Nashville also come to mind. Dallas is getting there.
Yeah I have to imagine any top50 city is going to have SOME area where you can hit some breweries. Some will have more local establishments, but maybe that's better.
Even the crappy cities in Upstate New York are starting to develop some forms of trails or routes to go on, even if they're unsanctioned.
Talk about a dream job. Go city to city and map out a beer trail. Create a website as a database for people to reference. Have Google search involved so that any time someone types "Beer trail/map/route" or "beer in city X" you pop up towards the top.

Brilliant minds think alike.
I've pretty much visualized this exact same idea for a couple years now. Will also include get-in/out info via Greyhound/Megabus/Amtrak. May go live with an Austin, Houston and San Antonio version before September. South Florida, around Miami and Broward County, offers lots of options near all the rail stations.
Asheville, NC pretty much exists solely as a beer destination (unless you have some weird need to admire the foliage at the Biltmore), so it's got that whole "beer trail" thing covered.
Headed to the new Madtree Brewery location today in Cincy's Oakley neighborhood. I'm so pumped!
Martin House Big Hoppa Triple IPA. Absolute best from this Fort Worth-based brewer yet. Not boozy. 11.9% ABV. Super smooth. Too many more of these and I may start barking at the moon. 5 stars. @Willy4UK : I'll try getting you a can, bro.
Went to Cape May brewery this morning and drank my cock off. Kids ruined it and were bored or something.
In any case, filled my growler with a honey Porter at 8.5 ABV.

Heh heh heh. Enjoy, bro. I'd sure love a porter with so much kick right about now.
I've been hitting every brewery that I can lately. I'm from around cincinnati and I only have 3 left to do. I'm on a crazy sour kick of late. If you like sours you have to hit up urban artifact brewery. That place is amazing. Best sours by far. As of now I'm pounding down some peach dodo from rhinegeist. Delicious. Raspberry beret from streetside is also awesome and has an amazing red color. As much as I like cincy beers though I like Daytons scene even more. Honestly it is the brewery hidden gem of the world. As always it is fantastic to hear from you beer lovers out there. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this thread. Just good to know there are other beer nerds out there like me
I remembered some of you guys touting Three Floyds Brewery a while back. I saw this one (Alpha King) on a bar draft list the other day so I tried one for my second round. It blew the doors off of the Rhinegeist that I was drinking. All I can say is THANK YOU!!!

5 or 6 lake trips this summer.. means tons of lighter beers. This coming weekend it's:
And of course.. gotta have a few of these to slam while you're doing canonballs off the boat.

That lawnmower beer was pretty damn good. Kind of like a coors light with more depth (again, these are for summer drinking).. Also added these to the coolers:
Up on Lake George in the Adironacks, there's a brew pub that opened for Adirondack brewing. Trying it out today.

Anchor Steam is the latest craft brewer to sell itself to a macro brewer (Sapporo).
