Who doesn't appreciate a nice cold glass of beer? While Germany may be known for its beer and its purity law, in North America, we have a variety of beers, loggers, ciders, stouts, IPAs — you name it. What makes breweries so special is the beer is unique to the city that it's brewed in.  Most local breweries take pride in their hometowns, which is why they're such a popular attraction for both locals and visitors alike. Breweries add their own spin on beer and create a memorable place to have a drink and a snack at.
