Made it back to Boise after the Grand Sawtooth Loop loop and dropped into @payettebrewing . I love the Vienna Lager (big surprise lol) #2022brewerytour (at Payette Brewing Co.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRcJ7QJpR7m/?utm_medium=tumblr

Now that we are in May, I am taking a moment to reflect on the 34 states (and Canada) my car has been through in the last 12 months. Of course we have visited several breweries in each of these states as well. #2021brewerytour #2022brewerytour (at Westside, Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdW3KzhJ7MY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I heard good things about @rhinegeist so we stopped in for a flight. Their Mexican lager is better than most and their merch game is strong. #2022brewerytour (at Rhinegeist) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc9UDSVMF9d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello again, Cincinnati. Just flew in and I’m ready for a flight or three at @madtreebrewing #2022brewerytour (at MadTree Brewing) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc7opG1Owju/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Had to hit up @bvbrewing for a couple flights with dad. Great beers and better bar staff. The stout aged in Elijah Craig barrels stole the show for me. #2022brewerytour (at Brazos Valley Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CctACTHpQix/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I feel like @thebigtexan represents everything I love about Texas. It has been a long and excellent road trip, but it feels good to be back in my home state hitting brewery number 30 on the #2022brewerytour (at The Big Texan Steak Ranch & Brewery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbdtLbKp0k7/?utm_medium=tumblr

It was only 20 minutes out of our way so of course we dropped in on @sierrablancabrewery for a flight and a couple of six packs to take home. #2022brewerytour (at Sierra Blanca Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbdI7VYJ2xP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Now that we have returned to New Mexico (albeit from the opposite side) we had to pick up a NM brewery before heading home. Mexican Lager is good and the blueberry sour had a little bit of a kick to it 😄 #2022brewerytour (at Desert Dogs Brewery and Cidery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbbhaXQgEtt/?utm_medium=tumblr

As we roll I to Colorado, we drove through a small town and saw this brewery on the side of the road. They have a killer tap list too. Their doppelbock is one of the easiest drinking Doppels I have ever had. Porter, amber, stout, pilsner, and Kölsch were great too. #2022brewerytour (at Smoking River Brewing Co.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbYlgOxJfxh/?utm_medium=tumblr

We dropped in on @stillwestbrewery for lunch and I’m glad we did. They have a great kitchen and an equally strong tap list. I hit the full flight and I liked the winter lager because I don’t get to try those too often. The stout was outstanding as well. And I got to talk to the brewer Don about how he got started here and looking forward to their third anniversary. I can recommend this place easily. #2022brewerytour (at StillWest Brewery & Grill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbV42Jiv8eB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Dinner last night was at @snakeriverbrew where they had great food and the wait wasn’t too bad even on a Saturday night. We ended up trying eight of their great beers. I liked the Powder 8 Porter the best. Shout out to Jeff who took great care of us at the table. #2022brewerytour (at Snake River Brewing) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbViw2tvNZz/?utm_medium=tumblr

First brewery in Wyoming was @melvinbrewing on a recommendation from Richard at @payettebrewing whose brother Ian works at Melvin. I’m glad we stopped too because the beers were really great. The hazy wasn’t visually very hazy, but it was one of the most enjoyable I have tasted, and if you know me, you know that isn’t my kind of beer usually. #2022brewerytour (at Alpine Taproom at Melvin Brewing) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbVZ925piiO/?utm_medium=tumblr

We needed to cap off our Tijuana -> Vancouver coastal road trip with a brewery in BC and I’m so glad I stumbled upon @strangefellowsbrewing. Great beers all around and you could really taste the work they put in fine-tuning the flavors. Pilsner and wit were both very good and the barrel-aged porter was even better. #2022brewerytour (at Strange Fellows Brewing) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbOgpdgJbbr/?utm_medium=tumblr

Met up with some friends at @luckyenvbrewing so I picked up a big flight here. I went back for more of the Helles Lager. Such an easy drinking beer. #2022brewerytour (at Lucky Envelope Brewing) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbMIvxzLsc6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ciders are all well and good (really good actually) but I wanted some proper beer here in Seattle. @oldstovebeer had a killer flight. The amber was great. The pilsner was great. The sour was great. The mole brown ale tasted like a Belgian trippel, but it was also great. #2022brewerytour (at Old Stove Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLtwuZpsnP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Over at Pike Place we decided to switch things up and hit a cider brewery. @locustcider fit the bill and I enjoyed a flight of ciders. #2022brewerytour (at Locust Cider) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLlI3jvlNX/?utm_medium=tumblr
