One of my favorite things to do in each city I visit is check out the local breweries. Not only do I get to enjoy a flight of beer but I get a real feel for the culture there and what the people are like. Tell me your favorite breweries in the cities you've visited and what your go-to brew is there.

Pictured above is actually my favorite brewery, in the Phoenix area. That's Goldwater Brewing Company, based out of Scottsdale, AZ. If you ever visit, snag a flight and don't forget to add Hop Chowda to your lineup.
