Zero miles to "nearest" brew pub. Thats one of the perks of brewing.

40 miles to nearest commercial brew pub. Everybody's in White Salmon. Their beer is better than most, typical but tasty yuppy bar food.

8/10 of a mile. It's a former GABF brewpub of the year, but the beer has gone downhill since that brewer went to Oregon.  I hardly ever go anymore.
It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.

Right now I have 2 that are about 10 miles away.  However..... in the next year one is going up about 200 meters from my house....walking distance for sure.  Not sure if that is a good or bad thing :o

A brewpub recently opened about 2/3 of a mile from my house.

There are also several in downtown Vancouver just a 12 minute bus ride away. The closest homebrew shop is a 20 minute ride on the same bus.

About a 30 min, drive for me. Of course, where I live, everything is a 30 min. drive!

Before we moved to Vancouver we lived in Gresham, OR less than 3 blocks from one. It only took 3 minutes to walk there; 20 to walk home.

About one mile to a commercial brewery but about fifteen miles to the nearest brewpub.

About 15 minutes to the nearest good one . There is another around 15 minutes in a different direction but it doesn't count because their beer sucks badly. Lots of new ones I need to check out.

Dang, I can only imagine how close you are to my sister then!

7venth Sun is opening a second brewery about 0.4 miles from my house.
I saw Chris and Aimee this afternoon at Hunahpu's Hangover Day.  I think they walked to the event also.

Much better than average view.

5 miles to the Blind Pig brewery. Very good beer, and an excellent place. 10 minutes in the car, and 20 by bike. Triptych in Savoy is a 20 minute drive. Also very good.

If my drive to The ABGB wasn't 30 minutes, I would always be there. Thing is Live Oak just opened up about halfway. Decisions!

I sometimes think you'll see my sis and bro-in-law at every event. :)
