The Red, White & Brew: Room Key Announces Top Destinations to Celebrate American Beer Day

American Beer Day returns on October 27th to honor the nation’s favorite cold beverage and celebrate U.S. brewers who have perfected their craft from coast to coast. To help guide thirsty patriots as they seek to imbibe, Roomkey.com has listed its top destinations for craft beer, from Portland, Oregon to Burlington, Vermont.

Each brew city on the list boasts exceptional breweries, offering locals and travelers alike the opportunity to enjoy uniquely American creations. Roomkey.com’s top seven craft beer destinations are:

Burlington, VT

This sleepy college town has the most breweries per capita with just over two dozen filling the area. Magic Hat Brewing Company is one of the most recognized, and is a great place to check out beer being brewed.

Denver, CO

Home of the Great American Beer Festival, Denver boasts more than 40 breweries. Coors might be the name that first comes to mind, but the craft offerings in the city are unbeatable. Almost any Denver hotel will be near one of the breweries, but choose an Uptown location for walkable distances.

Dallas/Fort Worth, TX

The DFW metroplex has a growing craft beer scene influenced by the history of Texas. Rahr& Sons, Franconia, Deep Ellum, Peticolas, Revolver, Lakewood, Four Corners, Community… these breweries, among others, have made a name for themselves in the Lone Star State.

Kansas City, MO

This Midwestern city may be well known for their barbecue, but they’ve also got the right beer to go with it. Locals love Boulevard Brewing Co., which is now the second largest brewery in Missouri and the nation’s 10th largest craft brewer.

Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN

The Twin Cities area boasts at least 30 breweries and proves that the Midwest is contributing their fair share of quality craft beer. The Fulton Brewery is home to a 9.2% ABV imperial stout – a great drink to warm up with during the brutal Minnesota winters. Click here to browse cozy hotel options.

Portland, OR

Portland has a whopping 53 breweries, more than any other city in the world. American-style hefeweizen was first debuted here at Widmer Brothers Brewing Co. in the ‘80s. Innovation is a tradition that has stayed true as the beer scene grows, shown with a new trend in eco-breweries.

Portland, ME

The Portland on the east coast isn’t too shabby either: Allagash brewery has been named one of the best brewery tours in America by TripAdvisor. Each of Allagash’s 15 microbreweries brings a distinctly East Coast flair to their beer, including several blueberry ales or the lobster logo on Geary’s Pale Ale.
