I am a fanatic about finding a micro-brewery that is cigar friendly and has great beer. My favorite is Cross Creek Micro-Brew in Fayetteville, NC. If anyone out there has a favy of their own let's hear about it in case I travel to your area would like to try it out. They have a fine Celtic Red here and a fabulous cigar lounge for us who appreciate a good smoke after dinner!

Here in Buffalo, the land of Beer and wings, people take beer very seriously, I've been to 1 of the 4 micros in the area. Its called the Pearl Street Brewery. Great beer, cigar friendly and a pool room.

Saturday I was at Hub City Brewery here in Lubbock, TX with good friends, good beer and good cigars. I usually don't care for many of their beers, but I had what they called "Summerfest" that was really good. It was an amber beer, maybe a little heavier. Great atmosphere, great music and cigar-friendly -- how can you go wrong?!

Here in Cleveland the best is Great Lakes Brewery. the Elliot Ness Vienna Lager is outstanding. Making it's yearly return soon will be their Christmas Ale(9%) 3 of these and you're feeling fine. Other Micros are Western Resrve Brewing Company (Bockzilla- Feb-April), Buckeye Brewing Company(hippie IPA, Martian Matzen,Mammouth Stout, Fuggle Ale, Vienna Lager,and they have a good Porter too. This place also is a Home Brew facility where you can come in and brew your own beer. Outside of Ohio I like Anchor Steam, Alcatraz Brewing Company,Main Street Brewery in Vegas.

The Denver area is the micro-beer capital of the World... My favorites would have to be Fat Tire, O'Dells or Avalanche.... I'm thirsty, gotta go!!!

CL, is the Hub City Brewery Cigar Friendly?

http://www.arrogantbastard.com.If  you think your worthy.Arrogant **** Ale: This is an aggressive beer. You probably won't like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We would suggest that you stick to safer and more familiar territory --- maybe something with a multi- million dollar ad campaign aimed at convincing you it's made in a little brewery, or one that implies that their tasteless fizzy yellow beer will give you more sex appeal. Perhaps you think multi-million dollar ad campaigns make a beer taste better. Perhaps you're mouthing your words as you read this.

Not cigar friendly but out here in california not many are.I Got some as a Gift.Think they were trying to tell me something?They make I beilieve three different
Brews.Are you worthy:-).Jim

Coach, Anchor Steam is an awesome beer! Not big here in NY so I stick to my Sam Adams. I find when I got to Seattle.

Bill -- Yes! It is! One of my favorite places. It's a large place, very open, with tall ceilings, so smoke doesn't gather too badly.

Yes, I'm from the Hub o' the Plains. I will look you up when I go back to visit the family.

Please do! We'll hit all the great cigar-friendly spots. (There actually are a few if you look hard enough!)

Excuse me, what is a Micro-Brewery. Do they make Micro-Beer? Being a beer lover myself I'd like to know. As some of You might be aware, I'm from Denmark. The land of Carlsberg!!!!!!!!!!

JJ, Gave some of the stuff last year to some arrogant bastards I know! They loved it...I never tasted it...just give me a cold one! Actually, my beers of choice are from our local brew master Karl Strauss called Amber Lager and Summer Gold. There's also one called Oktoberfest that I'm warming up to.

Hey esplendidoschick yeah it's definitly an aquired taste AB's only.Good to here from you.Later:Jim

Hansen, a microbrewery is a ringe lokal pønse på.
De pønse på speciale bajer. De er lige stor kro at skabe deres besidde bajer.
