I've been to Lazy Mag, I don't see it on your list but it was kinda cool to talk to owners and what not. I had a thread I started after visiting and sampling some stuff. Also if you go on First Friday of month they have a band and free food

I dont really enjoy their beer enough to go there honestly. Plus ive met one of the brewers from there a few times at nola and he was a total douche.

When I went to Denver a few years ago I did the microbrew tour. I believe we went to these:

Wynkoop
Breckenridge
River North
Rock Bottom (if you count that one)
And we were supposed to do Great Divide but they were closed for some reason.

I was just starting to get into craft so I loved everything.

Houston
Karbach (Loved it there)

The best beer tour I've been on was St. Arnold over in Houston. The guy running the tour was really entertaining and he knew his stuff. And it was just a good vibe hanging out in the brewery.

Tennessee (nashville, really:
Yazoo - Pretty good taproom. Can get loud. Embrace the Funk release days can be hectic.
Jackalope - Pretty standard brewery taproom. Beer and cheese and shite. Average beer.
Fat Bottom - Another pretty standard brewery and taproom. Average beer. Can get crowded with East Nashville kids on cornhole nights.
Blackstone - Brewpub with decent food and decent beer.
Boscos - Similar to Blackstone in food and beer quality.
Black Abbey - Located a little out of the way for most tourists. Beer has either been really good or really bad. The taproom is very small.

Oh yeah, and then a couple in Austria if anyone ver makes it that way:

1516 Brewing in Vienna. Cool little brewpub that tries their hand at some American styles. Located on the edge of the inner city. Some beers are better than others. They distill their IPA into schnapps, which is interesting, though not that good. Also of note, they have Victory Hop Devil on tap, which is a welcome site after drinking pilsners and hefes. The servers are pleasing on the eyes. Perfect for Stinkdoggin'.

Augustiner Brau in Salsburg. Situated in a monastery, this place has a huge biergarten. Like really huge. They only make a light marzen. Tons of food available. Highly recommend. Tours must be lined up ahead of time and require a group, so we didn't get to see their large set-up.

I want to qualify this because there are some breweries in Oregon that brew some of their beer at the brewpub, but brew most of their beer at a separate production facility.

I have always enjoyed microbrew pubs, but have only really gotten into craft beer in the last year or so.

Oregon
Deschutes - Portland
Deschutes - Bend
Cascade Barrel House (where they infect the hell out of everything)
Cascade Raccoon Lodge (where the brewing takes places)
The Commons
Upright Brewing
Lucky Labrador
Pelican (Tillamook and Pacific City)
Boneyard (Bend)
Block 15 (Corvallis)
10 Barrel (Bend)
Crux Fermentation Project (Bend)
Hopworks Urban Brewery
Laurelwood
PFriem (Hood River)
Double Mountain (Hood River)
Full Sail (Hood River)
Ecliptic (Hood River)
Rogue (Newport)
Vertigo
Flat Tail (Corvallis)
Hair of the Dog
McMenamin's (muliple locations)
Burnside
Base Camp
Breakside
Bridgeport




I may be leaving some out. There are others that I'd like to visit, such as De Garde in Tillamook, Goodlife in Bend, and Barley Brown's in Baker City.
