The Roaming Pint

TRP visited the Schlafly Taproom in April of 2013. On our path from Florida back to our home state of Kansas we had the opportunity to stop in St. Louis and visit a staple in it’s craft beer scene. Ever since the sale of Anhesuer Busch, to the world eating conglomerate InBev, St. Louis has [...]

TRP visited Pisgah Brewing Company in October of 2012. We were heading to Asheville for a wedding and were just outside of the city when it was getting dark and figured we should stop for the night. Maria looked up nearby breweries and Pisgah popped up in Black Mountain just east of Asheville. When we [...]

TRP visited Lonerider Brewing for the first time in October of 2012. We have since made several visits to this local Raleigh brewery and it has become one of our favorite beer spots in North Carolina. Lonerider opened in January of 2009 and has quickly become one of the bigger operations in the state. While North Carolina [...]

TRP visited Fullsteam Brewery in October of 2012. We had been looking forward to visiting Fullsteam ever since we started our eastern voyage. With our design backgrounds the Fullsteam visual concept always stood out to us as an innovative approach to craft beer branding, but we had yet to try their beer and weren’t quite sure what we were in [...]

TRP visited Beer Run in October 2012 on our way out of Charlottesville. We had received several recommendations that we had to visit this beer lover’s haven before we left town and when we get those kind of glowing reviews we can’t turn them down. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect from Beer Run since it is a combination of [...]

TRP visited Nail Creek Pub in Utica, NY in August of 2012. Utica’s brewing history dates back to the 1700′s when several maltsers and brewers inhabited the area. Today that tradition is a proud part of the city’s west side where the FX Matt Brewery (makers of Saranac and Utica Club) sits prominently in the [...]

TRP visited Grey Sail Brewing Co in July of 2012. We had picked up a six pack of their Flagship Ale upon entering Rhode Island and we instantly fell in love with this crisp summer beer. With it located in Westerly Grey Sail is right on the border of Rhode Island and Connecticut we figured [...]

TRP visited Brewery Ommegang in August of 2012 on our way across upstate New York. Ommegang is located on the edge of Cooperstown, NY  and the drive to get there takes you on a beautiful route through country back roads to reach the brewery which sits on a 136 acre plot of land. While the [...]

TRP visited NoDa Brewing Company in May of 2012. NoDa gets it’s name from it’s location on the edge of the NOrth DAvidson arts district in Charlotte, NC. While it is a relatively young brewery (opened in October 2011) it has already made it’s mark on the emerging Charlotte craft beer scene. I tried several [...]

TRP visited the Niagara College Teaching Brewery on a quick swing into Ontario in August 2012. Maria and I were visiting some Canadian friends when a quick BreweryMap search showed that there was a Teaching Brewery just 15 km (remember we are in Canada) from where we were staying. Of the 230 breweries that we [...]

TRP post courtesy of our East Coast affiliate, Nick: As I was driving through Hershey, Pennsylvania on my way to Troegs Brewing Company back in May, I couldn’t help but think that there really should be an amusement park and town for craft beer lovers that is similar to how Hershey and Hershey Park are [...]

TRP visited Kudu Coffee and Craft Beer in May 2012 while touring the south side of Charleston, SC. We needed to get some work done and like to hit up coffee shops to plug-in and take advantage of the free wi-fi. Maria just happened to find the perfect place on Yelp that claimed to feature [...]
