Although I don’t disagree that any of these are fantastic places to drink beer, I feel like this is more of a list of big cities (not towns) where you can enjoy a variety of things. I would look forward to a sequal to this article–preferably in the style of Gonzo journalism–where you dive deeper into what the country really has to offer. Off the top of my head, I’d say Fort Collins or Boulder top Denver for Colorado’s best spots.
Great list but it leaves me wanting more (and a fresh pint)!

I’m suspicious of your research for this article. For Philadelphia, you recommended two unimpressive, mediocre bars. Not even a mention to Monk’s? Even suggesting Dock Street, Nodding Head, SPTR or Triumph (if you haven’t been anywhere besides old city) would have been credible. How did you come to decide on Brownies and the Khyber?

That’s right – you will never learn! The US should stick to burgers and Coke – beer is not their thing at all…

I cannot believe Morgantown WV is not on this list. You people will never learn !
Black Water Brewery in Davis Wv may be a little slice of heaven right here in Almost Heaven West by God Virginia.

[...] Hooray, I live in #3! I’m going to go celebrate with a 12-pack. By myself in my apartment. Sad face. Go here to see if you live in one. [...]

How did you leave St. Louis, MO off the list? You do realize that we’re the home of AB AND Schlafly Beer companies, don’t you?

An arbitrary list culled from a cursory Internet search. Anyone with even a little bit of travel could pick better options.

Austin is a substantially better beer town than either Houston or DFW. And Humperdink’s isn’t even a Texas brewpub chain.

City Beer Store in S.F. is a very cool place I discovered by chance last time I was there. It's on Folsom St. in the flat part of the city sort of below… well, you'll figure it out. This place has hundreds of different beers in bottles (and a few on tap), and you go pick your beer from the coolers, bring it to the bartender, who opens and pours it for you. These guys were so cool – I was there staying in a friend's totally unfurnished apartment (not even glasses), and these guys hooked me up with a couple of great beer glasses to go with my take-out order. Full of seemingly local, very friendly (that's S.F. for you) people. The neighbor hood is awesome also – kind of transitioning over from warehouses. And while you're there you have to check out the Laundromat-Coffee House-Bar-Comedy Club (can't remember the name). Dig it!
