Plus ive met one of the brewers from there a few times at nola and he was a total douche

That dude fricking SUCKED. What an arse.

I wish I had visited more breweries. My craft beer love has come at a time when most of my traveling has largely been relegated to trips to NC. As such, I've done a number of breweries there and not a lot elsewhere. So, my list:

LA
Abita
NOLA

AL
Railyard Brewing Co. (probably more of a brewpub)

NC
Wicked Weed
Asheville Brewing Co.
Green Man Brewing
Oskar Blues in Brevard *****
Pisgah Brewing
Frog Level Brewing Co.
Heinzelmannchen Brewery
Highland Brewing Company
Red Oak Brewery
Bull City Burger and Brewery (brewpub, but I love it)
Carolina Brewery
Fullsteam
Gizmo Brew Works
Top of the Hill (brewpub)
Triangle Brewing Company
Innovation Brewing

Next week when I'm in NC I'll for sure be heading to Hi-Wire. I brought a beer from them to the bottle share at ru's place, I remember it being interesting. My significant other said it was voted one of the best new breweries in the southeast by some publication or other, so I'm excited to try more. She generally doesn't know what she's talking about, though

ETA: She and I have talked about trying to make a trip to CA or OR this summer. I hope it happens.
