I'm noodling with the idea of creating a "Beer Trail" section on the site where folks can check in at breweries and bars around the state. There are various versions of the same thing but I kinda want to make my own because it sounds like it would be fun, and could be a good way to get organic traffic to the site.


If you were picking ONE brewery to add to the list, what would it be? To make it a little trickier, you can't add one that someone else has added, or if you do you have to add an additional one. 


First (or last) stop on the trail, Dankhouse Brewing in Newark.

I go there quite a bit.  Great place.

You have to experience Hoof on a not so crazy day first, I think.  Then go back for the debauchery of Dragonsaddle Day.  I've been to 5 DSD's.  They bring in 30+ of the best guest taps in the country.

Love Hoof Hearted. I go up there every so often.

My favorite and one I go to often and can't wait now that the weather is warm, Henmick Farm & Brewery in Delaware/ Kilbourne area.

Yeah, I live 10-15 minutes from it and when the weather is nice, it is a perfect chill Thursday, Friday after work spot.

Looks like it and Hoof are pretty close to each other. I guess I've got a Saturday in April/May figured out.

Not a fan of Henmick Beer but they always have pretty good food trucks and it does have a great outside area. My brother lives maybe 5-6 minutes away in Ashley.

Paradise Brewing in Cincinnati is my go-to local spot. They don't do anything fancy (no hazy, no sour, no frills), but their standards are all great. They have two locations, I've only ever been to the original. It's a tiny little tap room, but a TON of regulars and everyone is basically everyone else's best friend.
