Breweries were once seen as simply places of business that produced beer, but thanks to the fascination of beer enthusiasts everywhere, they are now places where customers can visit and, of course, enjoy a delicious, cold beer. Some of the best places to live in America just happen to be the same locales of the most fun breweries. Check out these breweries that are sure to leave you satisfied with both your visit and the refreshments you’re served.

The Anheuser-Busch Brewery in St. Louis, Missouri

Allagash Brewing Company in Portland, Maine
As one of New England’s most notable breweries, the Allagash Brewing Company has humble roots as a one-man operation. Since its beginnings in 1995, this brewery has gone on to great heights of success. It now has six year-round beers as well as new beers that are released throughout each year. You can see the inner workings of the brewery through a variety of fun tours that provide a sampling of at least four different beers, and the retail store has fun merchandise that lets you bring the adventure home with you.
Finally, be sure to keep an open mind when trying new kinds of beers. Sometimes your expectations for a beer may differ from what it actually has to offer. When trying artisanal and unusual beers, it’s best to go with the flow and savor the experience for what it is: an adventure for your taste buds.
