Sometimes grabbing a cold one at your local sports bar just won't cut it. Instead, go straight to the source and have a drink at one of the best breweries in America to sample endless varieties of beer on tap and peek behind the scenes of the beer-making process on a brewery tour. According to Foursquare City Guide, these spots are loved for their tasting rooms, killer food menus, live entertainment, take-home growlers and beyond.
