Final Tally from the Summer 2023 Trip
In the 27 days of this trip, I tasted 183 different beers from 33 different breweries. What an adventure! Although I didn’t track this, my guess is that approximately 80% of those beers were sampler sizes in flights with the …
Antimony Brewing, Lenox MA
12 July 2023 Antimony opened in 2022 and I didn’t even know they existed until I was searching for places to stop on my last day’s drive home! They’re definitely going on my list of places to revisit. To start …
Revelry Yards, Ithaca NY
11 July 2023 Revelry Yards is in a vibrant part of downtown dubbed “Restaurant Row,” and there certainly were a lot of places with seating on the sidewalk! It took a couple of tries to figure out exactly which one …
Southern Tier Brewing Company, Lakewood NY
10 July 2023 What a fabulous experience this was! I’ve wanted to stop here ever since they opened but my travel plans and their hours never coincided. Now that they’re open seven days a week, I had no excuse so …

Flat River Brewing, Greenville MI
8 July 2023 Flat River isn’t much to look at, either inside or out, but they have a good number of taps and a decent menu. I was a bit surprised that their flights are just 3 glasses instead of …
Salty Pecker Brewing, Norton Shores MI
8 July 2023 Let me just start with this photo right off in case you’re thinking of something else … I made a detour in today’s drive to stop in here just for a flight as they didn’t really have …
Brewery Vivant, Grand Rapids MI
7 July 2023 This is my third visit to Brewery Vivant and I’ve loved it every time. It’s also my favorite funeral home (with the indoor dining area in the old chapel). The parking lot was full but the taproom …
Territorial Brewing Company, Springfield MI
6 July 2023 This is now my fourth visit to Territorial and the second in their new home. They have a good-sized space indoors with windows looking out to a Disc Golf course. Territorial’s claim to fame in my book …
