Message shrubber85 P admin beers 15036 º places 435 º 19:04 Fri 1/25/2013 New Albanian and Against The Grain keep me pretty happy but have connections from Traverse City to Nashville - lovin’ the Mighty Midwest.
Message reggiedunlop beers 3729 º places 182 º 19:07 Fri 1/25/2013 I’m fairly lucky...i live near a bunch or breweries, brewpubs, and brewcafes. Tired Hands, Forrest and Main, Victory, Sly Fox, Iron Hill (multiple locations), McKenzie’s, Earth Bread Brewery, Yards, Dockstreet, Philadlephia Brewing Co., Triumph, Nodding Head, and a Rock Bottom. All of these are within driving distance and I’m sure I missed a couple. And Troeg’s, Selin’s Grove, and Bullfrog are but a 3-4 hour trip away. And Boxcar is practically in my backyard but there beer is a close second to a bottle of warm moose piss.
Message Brigadier P beers 4930 º places 334 º 08:45 Sat 1/26/2013 The nearest locals for me are (in no particular order) Cutters, Upland, and the Bloomington Brewing Company. Being a four hour drive (or less) from places like Louisville, Chicago, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati makes it hard to get bored of good beer if those three ever feel boring.

Message jmikolich P beers 1486 º places 112 º 09:00 Sat 1/26/2013 Originally posted by miketd I live 1/2 mile from The Brew Kettle, less than 10 from Fat Head’s. I have 4-5 other breweries within 15 miles, including Great lakes and Buckeye. I live by mike. Hoppin Frog is an hour drive too, The 4-5 more would be Rocky River brewing, market garden, Cleveland nano, willoughby, Cleveland hts one, Chardon, lagerheads, cellar rats, Ohio brewing, thirsty dog. That puts you about an hour from my house in any direction

Message finn1918 beers 241 º places 12 º 10:19 Sat 1/26/2013 Originally posted by burg326 Originally posted by JLLSU Burnt Hickory is mine. I’m in Acworth. I have been wanting to try there stuff for the past few months now all their stuff looks awesome. I really want to try their egg nog imperial stout aged on rum barrels. A friend of mine tried their Graham Cracker Stout on tap at Taco Mac a few months back. He said it was amazing, but like $14 a pint. I think I’ll have to pass until I can get it in a growler or bottle. I missed their Belgian at Ale Yeah!, but it was also like $25 for a 32oz growler...
