It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere

One of my favorite things to do on a roadtrip is to sample local flavors, especially when those local flavors come in a pint glass. So when thinking about our cross-country trek I started wondering what great breweries there might be on our path and how I might find them. A single google search and I found an awesome tool, The Beer Mapping Project, which maps out breweries and brewpubs by country, region and city. This is definitely a website I’ll be using in the future.
While, we might not have time to hunt them all down and take the brewery tour, I’m definitely going to be looking for local brews on every menu. Some contenders might be Bozeman Brewing, Crowpeak Brewing, or Raccoon River Brewing Company . Do you have a favorite brewery or beer between Seattle and Chicago? Let us know in the comments.

So, I’m a bit late to the party but, if at all possible, you absolutely must, most definitely stop at LB’s Brewery / Gella’s Diner in Hays, Kansas. http://www.gellasdiner.com/
The lemon ale is stunning. We bought two or three growlers last time we were there and I wish we had gotten a keg (just for me).
When we drive to Colorado from Texas, we go straight up and turn left in Hays instead of going diagonally, it’s that yummy. If you can go, do it. Please!
Peter! you’ll want to check out Laughing Dog Brewery in Sandpoint. http://www.laughingdogbrewing.com
