I have been to the Riegele Brewery in JAN 2014 before I started this beer blog but it was winter time and I had dinner and several beer tasters (detailed further below). It was great that I was in Augsburg in the summer so I could check out their biergarten. It is a large beautiful […]
The Tap was our last stop of the evening. This is a brewery and craft beer bar with 50 draft beers and 400 bottle beers. If you can’t find a beer you like here then you probably aren’t a craft beer drinker. They do let you order tasters of their beer but not […]
Can’t go wrong with beer and burgers. Didn’t realize this was a chain but when I went to their site, they do have 4 locations in IN, OH and KY. We were hungry so I ordered a black and blue burger. Unfortunately I didn’t take any photos of the bar or burger so the […]
Tomlinson Tap Room was our first stop on our Indianapolis craft beer tour. We booked into the Hilton Garden Inn downtown and the Indianapolis City Market (where Tomlinson Tap Room is located) is only a couple blocks away. They have several Indiana beers so we just ordered some tasters. I have noted my Untapp’d checkins […]
I was in Indianapolis recently with a colleague from Australia who also loves craft beer. He actually did some checking before our trip of good craft beer stops and we also had some recommendations from our bartenders. The brewery Saint Joseph Brewery opened in 2015 and is a 15 barrel brewery housed in […]
This is a new brewery in the Tampa Bay area that opened in October 2015. It is a 15 barrel brewery that is located in a renovated 1963 auto body paint shop a couple blocks from main street in Safety Harbor. Their website says that the name “Crooked Thumb” is related to the shape of […]
What a great find. I can’t believe we have never been here before. We went to 81Brewing Company and were looking for a place nearby for lunch. My son found this German delicatessen on Manhattan in South Tampa and it was great. We ordered sandwiches (pictures above) with Weihenstephaner Kristalweizen beers. They have a great […]
81Bay Brewing Company is Tampa Bay’s newest brewery. Apparently it has only been open 4 weeks. It is located just off the Gandy in South Tampa. They have a great tasting room space. There is a large “aquarium” inside shark’s mouth that covers the whole wall. Kind of feels like a Sponge Bob […]
Fodder & Shine is on N. Florida Avenue just north of a couple of other great craft beer spots in Tampa (The Independent and Brew Bus). It was started in 2014 by the owners of the Refinery restaurant in Tampa. I have pasted the description of their food from their website: “Cracker cuisine is a […]
Here is another new bar/restaurant in Port Austin, MI that was only open for 2 weeks when we visited in June. For those that know Port Austin, it is located in the old boat shop on M25 just east of M53 (Main street). It is the same building as Port Austin Kayak. Port […]
