A lot of lists can be made about beer. This time we give you the best places in the U.S. where you can enjoy this great drink:
New Orleans
Although it is somewhat apt, one can find Hurricanes in just about every bar in New Orleans. But if you want to go for some old fashioned brews go to Cooter Brown’s Tavern and get yourself some froth. Also you can go ahead to The Bulldog and drink to your heart’s content.
Portland
When in Portland, Maine, seek out the Shipyard Brewing Company. They will have a mug waiting for you cold and frothy and a serving of lobster for bar chow. Another fare presents itself in Great Lost Bear which offers taster glasses. The Great Lost Bear also showcases the brews from microbreweries around Maine so if you want to taste what beers from the state taste like, this is the place to go.
Seattle
Seattle has a lot to offer when it comes to brews. Check out the Laughing Buddha Brewing Company. When you’re done with the Buddha, you might want to drink at the Stumbling Monk.
New York
New York has indeed got some attitude and the diversity to boot. If you want to go and see bars of every kind and appeal from gin joints to dive bars to classy hotel wine bars, New York has it. When you’re a little lost and you want to down some brews while eating your cake too, go to The Chocolate Room. It’s just in Park Slope.
Boston
If you’re in Beantown, you might get lucky and be able to down some Samuel Adams. Yes, you can actually shoot down a beer named after one of the founding fathers. Asides from drinking this all American brew, you can also get tipsy with some hardcore Red Sox afficionados at Boston Beer Works. Should you want to park your mug at another bar, you can go to Allston and scope out Sunset Grill and Tap. There are at least 112 fine brews on tap to wet your whistle.
Chicago
Go traveling around the world while seated in your bar stool. The Map Room conducts International Nights. Have fun talking about the great sport of soccer with several Irishmen in the Globe Pub.
San Francisco
Southern California may be vine country, but they also know how to work with barley, ale and hops. You might just be surprised with the oysterhead stout and the vanilla beer. Go for the 21st Amendment and the Magnolia Brewing Company or the Thirsty Bear.
Asheville
Small town, big flavor. That’s what this North Carolina town packs. Try going to the Blue Ridge Mountains and check out Shining Rock. After a challenging day, nothing can be as cooling as some Highland Oatmeal Porter at Barley’s Taproom.
Philadelphia
According to speculation, the founding fathers were hanging out in one of Philadelphia’s watering holes while writing the Declaration of Independence. It might sound crazy but if you’ve ever wanted to drink a pint for freedom, go to Philly and check out their pubs. Most of the residents love to hang out at Brownie’s Irish Pub. However, if you want something a little old go the Khyber and enjoy some music. The Khyber is Philly’s most senior when it comes to bars.
Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay bars stock up on some of the world’s best drinks. Go to World of Beer which boasts of 30 taps or order one of the 300 they have bottled. Get some great bar chow at the Dunedin Brewery and order their Et Tu Brewte salad. There’s also some fish and chips in the Four Green Fields for those who want a little English cuisine.
Albuquerque
Il Vicino offers some of the finest brews in New Mexico. Drive by Route 66 and get some finely crafted brews when you stop at Chama River Brewing Company. They also serve some realy hot chiles.
The Triangle
The horde of college students knows where the brew is good. Just scope out where they are trooping and you’ll likely land in Hi5 located in Raleigh. If the crowd is too young, go to Top of the Hill at Chapel Hill.
Dallas-Fort Worth
Drink some of the fine brews they are filling up their mugs with in The Ginger Man. However, if you’d like something that reminds you of your childhood days, try the Buttface which they concoct at Humperdink’s.
Missoula
Asides from the enchanting views of the Missoula area, the town itself has great beers to quaff. There are the German brews from Bayern Brewing. For a little more American try the Big Sky. Don’t think twice about ordering the Moose Drool.
Atlanta
Atlanta should have a lot of booze joints given its population of college students. Contrary to the expectation there aren’t much breweries nor watering holes in the city. But what trumps the lack of drinking places is the presence of the few they have. Take Five Seasons Brewing for example with its stock of drinks and food (organic mind you) will be enough to plant a banner for Georgia brews.
Cleveland
Get some Edmund Fitzgerald in your gullet when you drink at Great Lakes Brewing Company.. Go around where they ferment the stuff. Their brewery is just a lesson in best practices.
Milwaukee
Despite being the home of brewing giant Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee still has a lot of other brews growing in the town. Try the Hinterland Restaurant and Brewery. If you want to argue about hops, you can go and talk to the Germans sitting in the Old German Beer Hall. Order some Hofbrauhaus Munchen. There is also The Safe House for shifty secret agent type wannabes.
Portland
Portland in Oregon also has beer drinking in their traditions. Share a few bottles with the locals in McMenamin’s. There’s also the Horse Brass for smokers.
Denver
Eager beer drinkers can be found aplenty in Denver which hosts seven brew supply stores which allow you to ferment your own mix. If you open up the newspaper, you’ll see a Mr. Beer. Come October they host the Great American Beer Festival.
San Diego
San Diego knows how to toast. Check out their interesting bars like the Stone Brewing Company or wait at the rooftop while downing a few bottles at the Pacific Beach Ale House.
Supreme Clientele Sports Bar & Lounge
