Breweries 2020
PA, NJ, VA, FL, NY, SD, ND, MI, OH, DE
1- Ironhill Brewery- PA- an old favorite. I go to this brewery several times a year and the beers are always delicious.
2- Levante- PA- I haven't been here in over a year so I stopped in for a few samples.
3- Wissahicken Brewery- PA- I've wanted to come to this place for a couple of years so I was so happy to finally get here.
4- Attic Brewery- PA- this place just opened up and it already has a following.
5- J. J. Rattigan Brewing Company- PA- nice vibe and good beers.
6- 1787 Brewing Company- Hamburg, PA-
7- Woodbridge Farm Brewery- VA- OMG, it was February and the day was beautiful so we sat out on the porch and just stared at the beauty of the mountains. I found the service to be a pain in the neck so I didn't like the vibe of the place. But the beers were good. There were three of us tasting beers this day and we all had different beers and we all left happy with our choices.
8- Molly Pritchard Brewery- Carisle, PA- I went here on a Sunday night and the place was packed. The flight was 6 pours of 5 ozs which was too much for me. So I just had 4 samples; two IPAs and two porters.
9- Sly Fox Brewery- PA- I went on the first day of lent when most people fast. So I drank three stouts/porters as they are heavier and just perfect for a fasting moment.
10- Oakbrook Brewery- PA
11-Saucony Creek Brewery- PA
12- Chatty Monks- PA- they don't have many beer but the beers were good. It's a bit expensive
13- Schaylor Brewing Company- Reading, PA- the beers were juicy and delicious and the flight was a great price.
14- Triple Bottom Brewery- Philly, PA- I didn't like any of their beers.
15- Love City Brewery- Philly, PA- I've been here a few times and the place is a fun place to visit.
16- Big Storm Brewery- FL- I went with Jaye and I don't think she was particularly interested but she was appeasing me. We had a great time and tried 11 different beers. They had a chocolate, cherry Imperial Stout which she loved but it was too sweet for me. I liked all of the other 10 beers.
COVID VIRUS BREAK
This break was maddening because I wanted to reach my 200th brewery visit by the summer. I only had 20 more breweries to go, so this was going to be an easy goal to meet. So from early March to early July, I didn't go to any breweries. I have a lot of catching up to do.
18- Stolen Sun- PA- my first brewery after the quarantine. We went here on a Friday afternoon. It rained a little bit but we didn't care. We were all just so damn happy to be sitting in a brewery, having beer.
19 - Goose Island Brewery- PA- I was here two years ago as I celebrated my 100th brewery.
20- Miner's Brewery- SD- I didn't like either of the beers I tried.
21- Red, White and Brew- NJ- they had two IPAs and both were delicious. The service was great and this is a fun, little place.
22- Bismarck Brewery- ND- this place seemed more interested in their food than their beer so I wouldn't go back.
23- Westville Brewery- NJ- none of the beers excited me.
24- King's Road Brewery- NJ-
25- Artisanal Brew Works- NY- they had some good IPAs.
26- Druthers Brewing Company- NY- they had a nice selection of beers and they are one of the few places that will serve a flight during the pandemic.
27- St Boniface Brewing Company- PA- I liked my beers and my flight was reasonable and plentiful. The place had a nice vibe to it.
28- Animated Brewery- PA- they aren't serving flights yet so I had to get 3 (80z) pours of IPAs. I was able to get a tasting of the stout (which was delicious) and an unfiltered pilsner (which I actually liked)
29- Black Forest Brewery- PA
30- Suburban Brewery- PA
31- Punch Buggy Brewery- Philly, PA- this place is tucked in a neighborhood in Philly. I could tell that it was just a fun place to hang in a neighborhood for a beer.
32- Dewey Beer Company- Dewey Beach, DE- I ordered a sour beer and loved it. i liked this place.
33- VoDoo Brewery- Lancaster, PA- I've been here before and it's a pleasant place for a quick beer. The atmosphere isn't suitable to sit there all afternoon and drink. But it's connected to a butcher shop that makes great sandwiches so this is a place I like to visit.
34- Hangman Brewery- Wilmington, DE- this place it hard to find but after much effort, I found it. This brewery just opened in March and then quickly closed down in the middle fo the motnth because fo the covid virus. So it is really trying to find customers and find it's way into the beer world. The owner is also the brew master and the bartender.
35- Bethlehem Brewery- PA- I've been here before and really liked. I didn't enjoy this visit as much. Most of the beers came in a can so I couldn't try enough variety.
36- Earl Blue Brewery- DE- I've been here before. Its a sweet, little place to visit when I go to Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge. The beers are very good. The atmosphere is friendly and it's a great place to spend the afternoon.

38- Marquette Harbor Brewery- MI
39-Blackrocks brewery- MI
40- Maumee Bay Brewery- OH
41- Keweenaw Brewery- MI
