Message drowland P beers 11069 º places 430 º 18:07 Sat 1/26/2013 I think if you include chains and the breweries in the suburbs, there are something like 13-14 breweries in the greater Jacksonville (FL) area. I live closest to Intuition and Bold City, about 5-10 minutes from each depending on traffic (they’re basically across the street from each other).

Message radagast83 beers 12427 º places 427 º 21:47 Sat 1/26/2013 Just outside DC in suburban Virginia. Ignoring the nation-wide corporate owned places... Within 15 miles: Sweetwater Tavern, Mad Fox Brewing Company, Capitol City Brewing, Port City Brewing Within 25 miles: Lost Rhino Brewing, DC Brau, Chocolate City Beer, 3 Stars Brewing, Franklin’s Brewpub Potentially coming this year to DC: Right Proper Brew Pub, Bardo Rodeo Brewpub, Atlas Brew Works, Bluejacket I’ve become a bit introverted with my beer purchasing for home consumption. Harder and harder for me to look elsewhere when I have so many local options to chose from.

Message Capa beers 4059 º places 526 º 23:27 Sat 1/26/2013 I live a four block walk/10 minute stroll from Yards. Love that place.
Message Capa beers 4059 º places 526 º 23:31 Sat 1/26/2013 Originally posted by watson1977 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. We are totally spoiled here in Philly, but I think the OP’s question is which is closest or something similar to that. Boxcar sounds like your closest (and it pretty much sucks). Not which breweries are in your vicinity.

Message 77ships P beers 14200 º places 913 º 00:59 Sun 1/27/2013 From my house De Koninck, used to pass it by when going to school & university, maybe 15 min or so away by public transport. Duvel-Moortgat is not that far away either as is Westmalle. Cantillon is the closest one from work.
Message Phil beers 181 º places 34 º 03:14 Sun 1/27/2013 I finally have two breweries in shooting distance, neither I care to comment on.
