Lake Bluff Brewing Company – Lake Bluff, Illinois

Brews Travelers — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 19:43:35 +0000

A cold, snowy day and a bold cup of coffee, an action movie and some hot buttered popcorn, homemade biscuits and sausage gravy, Sonny and Cher. Obviously, these things go together and they make sense being together. Well, add Chicagoans and Craft Beer to the list too.

Recently, we traveled around the great city of Chicago and its surrounding communities. What we found were fantastic beer and great people. It’s not like we haven’t been here before, but it is worth repeating.

Nevertheless, [...]

Browning’s Brewpub – Louisville, Kentucky Throwback Post

Dirt — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 16:29:48 +0000

Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Craft Beer! Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Craft Beer! Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Craft Beer! It doesn’t really sound like the Chevrolet commercial, but it’s so American that it hurts! People across the country are finding that craft beer goes with baseball as well as any other beer. Baseball is slowly distributing craft beer around the country and it is an awesome trend. In Louisville, however, they have gone one step [...]

Blue Mountain Brewery – Afton, VA Throwback Post

Gabe The Imperial — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 00:02:25 +0000

I love Brewpubs/Breweries so much that I check the time that they open and then I get there early ,just in case, they open even earlier. It’s all about beer drinking efficiencies. It hasn’t happened once, but I really need my Beer Karma to step it up.

I waited in the parking lot for the Blue Mountain Brewery to open. I was on my way back to Ohio from Charlottesville after a business trip ( Or was that just a 600 [...]

Throwback Post:The Original Goose Island – Chicago, Illinois

Quench Wench — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 15:58:15 +0000

You know, we just thought it wouldn’t be a trip if we didn’t go to the “Original” Goose Island Brewpub. Once again, this location is only a few minutes from downtown off of the Red Line. Everytime that we take these trips, we only walk about half a mile from the train, if that.However, the address that they have listed is a bit misleading, but it’s still there. Goose Island is right across the street from a Best Buy and [...]

Dunedin Brewpub – Dunedin, Florida

Brews Travelers — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 19:42:17 +0000

“Location, Location, Location. ” This place has a great location. It’s only a couple of blocks from the Gulf of Mexico in a sleepy little town. Tampa is only a 20-minute drive, as is Clearwater.

We swung by Dunedin on our way back to Clearwater from Tampa. This wasn’t even in our plans. Nevertheless, what are you going to do?

I have found that after visiting one brewpub, it is hard not to stop at another one that is close by. It [...]

Terrapin Brewing Company – Athens, Georgia

Dirt — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 19:36:15 +0000

Things We May Have in Common with Terrapin Brewing Company

1. We’re fans of The Grateful Dead 2. We may or may not have eaten Chinese food this week. 3. We would pick Athens as our next home. 4. We cannot confirm nor deny the fact that we may have slept in a stairwell and/or fallen into a few bushes. 5. We love their Beer.

From their groovy turtle to their groovy beer, Terrapin Brewing Company is hands down an icon and trendsetter in the craft beer industry.

We had the [...]

Jackie O’s – Athens, Ohio : Special Release (Barrel Aged Dark Apparition & Oil of Aphrodite)

Quench Wench — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 17:43:41 +0000

**The Ladies of Brews Travelers (Hop Mama’s, as we like to call them) made a special trip to Athens, Ohio. Seriously, on their own they made the decision. Here is their experience of the special release by Jackie O’s **

OK, first of all I am not a college student so I was apprehensive about hanging out at Jackie O’s in downtown Athens, the home of Ohio University. The last time I did that I was there for a Keg and [...]

Right Brain Brewery – Traverse City, Michigan

Dirt — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 17:07:58 +0000

Honestly, I thought Traverse City was a lot closer to I-75 than it really is. I took a measurement and it was only about two knuckles away on the map. If anyone knows two knuckle measurement, it’s a man on a mission.

Two Knuckles = 1 ounce of liquor Two Knuckles = the distance between the opening of your nostril and the spot between your eyebrows.

Anyway, two knuckles are a common measurement for all sorts of things. You name [...]
