Six blocks to the Cismontane, 10 to a bj's. Three blocks from the office to a rock bottom, five blocks to Beachwood

In Chicago I've got a bunch to choose from but coming from the 'burbs with traffic it could be a 1-2 hour drive and then I got a look and hope for parking:(

I have, actually I've known Ben a couple years now since they originally opens their brewery around the corner from me. They couldn't work out an agreement to open a tap room on site so they moved up there. Not around the corner anymore but the beer is good and they're great people!

I have 4 breweries (Kelsen's, 603, Rockingham Brewing and From the Barrel) and 1 meadery (Moonlight Meadery) within 4 miles of my house. 

Actually brew pub is maybe 20 miles away.

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

I wouldn't have it any other way!

It used to be that way here 5 years ago, but now every community >6k population has a brewery or 2. A few are even good.  ;)

This intrigued me enough to open up Google maps, to determine that I am 1.0, 1.2, and 1.4 miles from the three brew pubs in town.  The 1.0 and 1.2 miles are 0.2 miles apart (convenient!), but the 1.4 mile one is in another direction.

But, it really doesn't matter to me, as I spend 90% of my time at my local pub, which has all three breweries on tap.

1.4 miles to my closest which is pretty good for the burbs. Unfortunately, their beer isn't very good.

I've found that since we've had children, my wife and I don't really get to go out much alone anymore.

That said, Empire Brewing and Middle Ages are right in Downtown Syracuse (~15 mins), Ommegang is about 1 hour east of us, Saranac is about 45 mins west in Utica.

Portland breweries are starting to push out into outer Southeast which is nice.  Zoigelhaus opened recently in the Lents neighborhood just to the east of us here in Woodstock.  It's about a mile and a half and it is walkable in nice weather. 

Double Mountain from Hood River is opening a tap room about a mile in the other direction, which will also be walkable in nice weather, but no brewing on site so technically not a brewpub.

Maybe when they go under something better will take their place.

I live in a rural area and the closest one is about 30 miles away, and it's not wonderful, but I do have a BBQ joint and a German restaurant with awesome beer selections up the road a piece.
