Post your favorite hometown brewery here. |

I have to say, one thing Cleveland has over Pittsburgh is a great brewery. I was never a huge fan of Penn Brewery or (ugh) Pittsburgh Brewing. http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/I love this stuff.

7. Very good. Plus the graphics on the label look like a fantasy metal album. |
|
:D
If you like real heavy beers, I suggest the aforementioned Perseus Porter. Of course, I like heavy beer, so I'm biased. :hi:

North Peak Brewing Co. In Traverse City, Michigan. I like their Northern Lite beer myself. I'm not a dark or stout beer guy. But friends have told me that they have some excellent choices in those areas as well.

26. I didn't realize Dominion brewed Tupper's |
|
People who like hoppy stuff (which I don't) tend to love it. I like the straight lagers and ales (Spaten, Bass). Dominion makes a lot of individual brews (mainly ales) for bars across Virginia, DC and Maryland; I've never had a bad one.

Could that be the same Ashburn where I went to high school a LONG time ago? Loudoun County? BRHS? I was in the first class there, and was among it's first drop-outs. The high school in a corn field. I understand there aren't as many cornfields these days....

I don't drink the stuff myself, so I don't know from good (although I did have a couple of sips of New Glarus Spotted Cow recently and didn't find it repulsive, so that's a step up), but there's a lot of it here.

election night 1992 celebration among patriot patrons, but then they remodeled and destroyed the nice warehouse openness of the downstairs, so you had to go upstairs to feel comfortable. They're undergoing another remodel, so maybe they'll fix that bullshit.
Widmer has a nice location, but locals have the unfortunate habit of pronouncing it "Wid-mere," so I can't possible select that one.
Portland Brewing Co. is quite fine, though I miss their old Pearl location, now supplanted with a Rogue Brewery outpost.
