It’s been a while since I put together a Brewery Travels article. Thanks to my final semester of graduate school and raising my now one year old, life has been fairly hectic. But I now have a little more down time and am thrilled to go back and highlight some of my stops this past summer! First up is the Kansas City area. Obviously, one name in particular sticks out, as a brewery here has been churning out beers to send across the country for…

I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Duluth. Aside from the beer, it is an intriguing little city situated on the largest of the Great Lakes. Boat rides, train tours, one of the largest freshwater aquariums in the world, and the trendy Canal Park district all contribute to a fun experience. Duluth is also home to the oldest microbrewery (Lake Superior Brewing) and the oldest brewpub (Fitger’s Brewhouse) in Minnesota. As per usual, I will select four of my favorites to write up, but there were…

I grew up and went to college in Eastern Iowa. It is where I met my wife, got married, and my in-laws still live on a farm there. So, of course that means that I have spent (and continue to spend) a considerable amount of time in the Hawkeye State, and it’s about time I write an article highlighting some my favorite spots! These four breweries are going to cover a good chunk of the state, and although nationally Iowa may be better known for…

Vermont Brewery Tour

I am a lover of craft beer not just for the beer itself, but of the community that comes with it and am fascinated by the constant evolution of the industry. I am fortunate enough to live in Western Massachusetts which has an exploding beer scene and a booming craft beer community.Additionally, I am an avid homebrewer and love to experiment with not just tasting new brews but trying to make them all while writing about my exploits.

Vermont is truly a wonderful state.  Endless green mountains, pristine country views,  rolling rivers, and of course beer.  As if this state does not already have enough positives, it is additionally home to some of the, if not the best, craft beer in the country.  With breweries such as The Alchemist, Lawson’s Finest Liquids, and Hill Farmstead, this state attracts beer lovers from all over the country and sends beer geeks scurrying to snatch up beers such as Heady Topper and Sip of Sunshine. While I am lucky…

A 6-pack of my favorites. A 6-pack of beers to try when you visit Philly.  A 6-pack of beers that I was excited to buy before they were bought by ABInbev.  But my favorite is a 6-pack of beers to introduce a new drinker to craft?
