Lake Pleasant Brewing in Phoenix, AZ- I hate to admit it, but I’ve only been here a four or five times and I can’t figure out why.

Lake Pleasant has some great beers, a friendly atmosphere and some fun things to while enjoying them both. The first time I visited I was so concerned about the beer, i didn’t even realize they had a little mini arcade happening in the back. So, last visit we played some games, drank a couple flights and watched a little TV and had a great time before heading off to our next stop. Everyone is very helpful and friendly and each visit I have always grabbed a few 4 packs to take home to enjoy later.

Food? Food trucks only and I have yet to try one. However, every time I’ve been, customers have brought their own food, so that’s an option.

Restrooms? Clean, working and fully stocked, so no issues.

Merch? I got a hat for my collection on the first visit and they have plenty of other great looking stuff to choose from too.

Lake Pleasant feels like a well kept secret to me. I tend to day drink most weekends, so it has always been easy to get a seat, talk to the staff and enjoy the atmosphere. If you haven’t been you should go soon!

Austin St Brewery – Portland, ME- Every year for the last five years, I`ve made the pilgrimage to Maine post-Christmas to visit my girlfriend’s family, which also conveniently coincides with my annual brewery-hopping mission to drink as much beer as time (and weather) will allow. Last year was no different. Neither rain, sleet, nor snow wasn going to stop us from strolling around Portland like craft beer enthusiasts on a mission. And Austin St Brewery quickly became one of my favorites.

Austin St serves up some really good beer, and had I not been on a very tight schedule of “hit as many breweries as possible before dinner,” I definitely would’ve stuck around for more pints (and maybe a few bites). The place has a cozy vibe that makes you want to sink into a chair, grab a cold one, and cuddle up next to their warm electric fireplace.

The patio looks amazing too, and I can only imagine how awesome it would be on a nice summer day, with the doors open and the sun shining. But since it was late December in Maine, we were more focused on not turning into human popsicles than enjoying the outdoors.

Food? Well, let’s just say I was one beer away from dinner plans and too many beers deep to be making any decisions about food. So, we stuck to what we knew best: more beer.

Merch? As someone from Arizona (where beanies are as rare as snow in July), I wasn`t surprised to see that out east, it’s all about the beanies. And, of course, I bought one as a gift for my drinking buddy. However, I must report that Austin St was a tragic no-hat zone on my visit.

Bathrooms? Clean, functional, and honestly, that’s all you can ask for. They’re basic, but definitely up to the task of making sure your experience doesn’t involve any unwanted surprises.

In short, Austin St Brewery is tucked right in the heart of Portland, ME, and it’s one of my favorite spots in one of my favorite cities. Seriously, when you can walk to dozens of amazing breweries (including one literally in the same parking lot) how can you complain?
