The Brewery You Must Visit in Every State

Ryan G. / Yelp

America’s craft beer scene is so widespread that every single state in the union has at least one incredible brewery and typically many more than that. What a time to be a hop head!

We set out to find the best brewery in each state by consulting websites like BeerAdvocate and RateBeer, relying on old-fashioned research and testing our own knowledge of the national beer scene.

So, pony up to the bar and grab a pint at any one of these breweries where you’re guaranteed to have one of the most incredible beers in the U.S. 

Alabama: Fairhope Brewing

Location: Fairhope

Established: 2013

Popular beers: Painted Black IPA, Judge Roy Bean, (Take the) Causeway IPA

Food options: Nothing on site, outside food allowed

Coolest highlight: Taproom housed in a red-brick building, featuring locally made furniture 

Why Fairhope Brewing Is a Must-Visit

Before this brewery came around, Lower Alabama had no craft beer options and there were fewer than 10 craft breweries statewide. The husband and wife behind Fairhope thankfully changed that and are now known for their creative labels and names. 

The couple was originally inspired to start a brewery after living in Alaska and spending considerable time at Alaskan Brewing Company’s taproom.

Alaska: Anchorage Brewing Co.

Location: Anchorage

Established: 2010

Popular beers: A Deal With the Devil, Endless Ending, Darkest Hour

Food options: Onsite restaurant

Coolest highlight: A beer garden with fire pits

Why Anchorage Brewing Is a Must-Visit

This brewery quickly gained a reputation for excellent barrel-aged and high-octane stouts and darker beers when it opened in 2010. And due to its remote location, Anchorage Brewing has been distributing globally since its launch. 

It also has a unique business license in Alaska that allows it to sell beers from around the country out of its taproom.
