Albuquerque is a great beer town, and has improved greatly in the past year or so with the opening of a few craft breweries. It’s not hard to find a great local beer. When ya gonna come visit, Erik?
Soon! Ish? The Craft Brewers Conference has just taken away all my extra cash, but it’s on my radar. I also need to head a little (okay.. a lot) left of you and stop by for what I hear is some amazing beer and pizza in Phoenix, AZ.
I was in Austin this past weekend and had my first encounter with Shiner Bock and Ziegen(sp?) Bock, both local products. I liked them both a lot. I also had Lone Star beer. Didn’t like that so much, but knew what I was getting into. Tons of cool bars in Austin, if many of them cater to the Spring Break “50 cent shots!” crowd. I have yet to visit anywhere else in Texas, but I find it hard to believe that a state that big, and that obnoxious!, isn’t good for at least one city on that list.
I’m going to a new city and need to know where to find a good craft brew. What do I do?
Today I’m going to Camden Yards. I’ve heard they actually have decent beer at the park. But I’ll probably get to the neighborhood early and want to grab a pregame pint. I don’t know where to go.
In July I’ll be heading to Chicago. And I’ll have the same dilemma. Is there some place online I can find this kind of info?
So, I’ve been thinking about this, and I think the best place I can think of to find beer is the Beer Mapping Project, which is actually on my list of things that I’d like to sit down and review at some point.
I haven’t spent a ton of time with it, yet.
Outside of that, you want to check out The Map Room, Piece Brewery, Goose Island, and the Rock Bottom there at the very least.
