In May 2021, my brother Brendan and I took a road trip around the Chicagoland area. Our goal was simple: spend a few days trying the best craft beer that the Chicago suburbs had to offer. As we took this Read more…

It’s been far too long since our last beer festival. In fact, our last true beer fest was a year ago to date, before the pandemic shut down the entire beer festival circuit. We’ve missed beer festivals desperately: our friends Read more…
Welcome to The Beer Travel Guide! People often ask us where to drink craft beer when they visit various cities, so we decided to make a site that could hopefully help everyone looking for local craft when they travel.
You’ll find our detailed brewery hop recommendations for various American cities here. You’ll also find lists of breweries for a number of cities, lists which include valuable research like whether they serve food and what their hours of operation are. That way, you can make your own hop! If you don’t see the city you want to explore on there, contact us and let us know!
We also have pieces about beer festivals we’ve attended, wrapping up the experience and shouting out our favorite beers that were served. You can read our coverage of festivals we’ve covered in the past two years, including the Firestone Walker Invitational, Great American Beer Fest, Carnival of Caffeination, Sour Friends Fest, Extreme Beer Fest, and many more!
We’ve recently launched a TikTok account, posting daily funny and/or informative videos about craft beer. Please give us a follow there.
We have a list of every beer we’ve tried this year– we’ve already crossed 650 beers for the year, so see what we’ve had and what we recommend!
We’ll also post occasional blog entries, news stories, and more! Please check out our FAQ, and if you think our site is missing something or contains inaccurate information, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Closures and hour changes are happening rapidly, so before assuming our information is fully accurate, always be sure to double check on the breweries’ social media accounts.
Finally, please sign up for the newsletter below– we haven’t been updating as much during the pandemic for obvious reasons, but when regular updates begin again (and they will soon), signing up for the newsletter is the best way to make sure you don’t miss out.
Thanks so much for visiting– we hope you come back soon, and we hope beer travels return to normal as soon as the world will allow. Cheers!
