We love visiting cities that give us a wide variety of things to do— so there are few cities in the West we love more than Flagstaff. There’s skiing, there’s hiking, there’s camping. There are nearby lakes for boating, there Read more…

The number one question we get asked at The Beer Travel Guide: “Had any good beers lately?” And the answer, invariably, is always yes. In the past, we’ve made our fair readers wait until the end of the year to Read more…

In 2018, we created the #FiftyStatesChallenge. The goal was simple: have at least one craft beer from every state in America. Last year, we’d accomplished our goal by mid-October thanks to beer festivals and trades early in the year… but Read more…

Here is the complete list of every beer we enjoyed in 2020! We had 1087 beers in 2020, coming well short of our numbers for 2018 and 2019… but considering the lack of beer festivals in 2020, we’re still pleased Read more…

For us, the IPA is the pizza of the beer world. You can change the ingredients, you can make it simpler or heavier, you can make it crisper or softer… but as long as the basic formula is the same, Read more…

There are certain unalienable truths in this world. The sky is blue. Water is wet. Among those truths: the two of us absolutely love sour beer. We love them all: from the more nuanced and complex saisons and farmhouse ales Read more…

Living in California, we routinely drink more California beer than beer from any other state. Most of the festivals we attend are in California, our favorite bottle shops carry largely California beer, and, since we love supporting our local craft Read more…

Note to readers: our most recent visit to Dallas was February 2020, so this article was written in March 2020… only for the pandemic to send the country (and the craft beer industry) reeling. We felt at the time it 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!
