Project Manager Chad Faglier enjoys relaxing with a craft beer in his free time. America has a number of popular craft beer producing cities, and for those like Chad Faglier who have an affinity for artisan brews, a visit to each may prove interesting. Here are three U.S. cities that offer brewery tours and craft beer tastings -
1. Grand Rapids, Michigan - Grand Rapids boasts 23 breweries, and the opportunity for visitors to sign up for a Brewsader Passport to collect stamps for each Grand Rapids brewery visited. USA Today voted this city 'Best Beer Town' in 2016.
2. Seattle, Washington - Washington may be known for its coffee culture, but it also has more than 300 breweries – 83 of which opened last year. Most Washington breweries source the hops for their beer locally.
3. San Diego, California - If planning a visit to this sprawling city, set your trip during San Diego Beer Week in the winter. Home to more than 120 breweries, brewpubs, and microbreweries, beer nerds know this city as the birthplace of the double IPA. This style of beer has proven particularly popular in the western United States.
