13. Go to 5 of the 125 Places to Have a Beer Before You Die
There is this great list of 125 places to have a beer before you die, courtesy of All About Beer. It was published way back in 2008, but is a delightfully relevant list 2 years later (which I suppose is a good recommendation for a list like this.)
Amy planned our summer vacation around the list. Isn’t she awesome?
In order of how we visited them on this trip (not their place on the list):
Great Lost Bear, Portland ME
Gritty McDuff’s, Portland ME
Brewery Ommegang, Cooperstown NY
Clark’s Ale House, Syracuse NY
