Collective Arts Brewery- Hamilton, ON
For fans of Collective Arts' craft beers, and their whimsical cans, a visit to their Hamilton brewery and tap room is a must. Built in 1947, the industrial beauty housed several breweries (Peller's, Carling, Henninger, Amstel, Lakeport) before being abandoned in 2010.

Ministry of Brewing- Baltimore, MD
Ministry of Brewing combines reuse, preservation, and beer- so I'm all in. Although it's been on my radar for a few years, I just recently made it back to Baltimore for the first time in ages. Always a favorite city of mine, it just feels comfortable and lived in to me, like well worn shoes- despite what some might think of the city. Ministry of Brewing feels the same way.

Dirt Farm Brewing, Bluemont, VA
Owned by the same family as Bluemont Vineyards, Dirt Farm is every bit as scenic, with much more character. Based out of a 1941 stone hunting lodge, the brewery absolutely shines with its sour beers.

Barrel Oak Taphouse- Delaplane, VA
Barrel Oak Farm is huge, and produces both beer and wine on site. Don't expect an intimate experience here, but there is a lot of space to spread out, and they are able to handle volume well.
