A few years ago, I wrote a news story about The Good Life touring Europe, in which I recommended famous pubs and other drinking establishments to everyone’s favorite indie rock drunk, Cursive’s Tim Kasher. This time around, Kasher has asked me to recommend to him some of the best breweries that the U.S. has to offer so that he can make the most out of his summer touring schedule. Of course, I obliged, because it’s hard to say no when Kasher threatens to write an angry song that name-drops you. Feel free to print this list out and follow Kasher and Co. across the country this summer (Tim will be the one face-down in the beer vat):
- Frederick, MD: Flying Dog Brewery
- Milwaukee, WI: Miller, Lakefront Brewery
- Chicago, IL: Goose Island
- Billings, MT: Yellowstone Valley Brewing
- Seattle, WA: Pyramid Brewery
- Portland, OR: Bridgeport Brewing Co.
- San Francisco, CA: Anchor Brewing Co.
