There are so many places to go that have such unique characteristics. In fact, Kenny and I argued for almost 30 minutes on what to include, how to define what to include, what makes a brewery unique, yada, yada. It got pretty heated.

In the end, we stuck with what's above. For what exact reasons, we can't tell you. Just know that if you're looking for a great experience at a craft brewery, and you don't know where to start, reach out.

Head on over to Living a Stout Life for guides, resources, maps, and more. Or give us a holler - we'll be your tour guide.

But remember, in the end, your favorites will be because of the stories you create there. Not because we told you where to go.

Oh, and by the way, Jester King, BrewDog, and Melvin are all also Harvest Hosts.
