Jacquerie,
The Wife and I travel quite a bit and make it a point to search out local brew pubs.
Did you know here in florida the big three miller bud and bush have locked out small breweries?
They got to the Fla congress and made laws for size of bottles and cans allowed and lobied so you can’t take and open bottle like a growler?
Sort of like did what they could to stack the deck.
also, try to buy brewpub beer on line.

Thanks for the info. No, I was not aware of the effective brewpub ban. I’ll bring this up with my state rep Jimmy Petronis.

Speaking of Beer Tourism, my spouse and I went on a group wine tour (kinda pressured by family sort of thing) to Napa Valley in the mid 80s. Little did we know at the time that Napa was beer Nirvana.

While the others ooohed and aaahed over the wineries, we filled our car trunk with terrific mirco-brewed lagers, ales and stouts.
