Titletown Brewing Co. Wins Best Brewpub Two Years in a Row!

While honoring its hometown’s nickname, Titletown opened in 1996 in the old Chicago & Northwestern railroad depot, which dates back to 1898. Visitors choose between sampling fresh beers in the atmospheric tap room or up on the “roof tap,” which, despite the elements, is open year-round. A variety of vintage spaces and cellars are available for private events. This being Wisconsin, the kitchen churns out calorific offerings such as fried local cheese curds and a platter of authentic Wisconsin sausages billed as "brats, brats, and more brats."

Great Lakes Brewing Company was started by two brothers with limited brewing experience in 1986. Today, it's one of Cleveland's top destinations for good beer and good food. Located in the Ohio City neighborhood, the GLBC brewpub features an eco-friendly beer garden with a retractable roof, where guests can sip a beer while sampling from a menu of seasonal menu items made from locally-sourced ingredients.

Billed as the world’s first LEED-certified commercial microbrewery, Grand Rapids’ Brewery Vivant resides in a refurbished historic funeral home. The atmospheric pub, which from certain angles resembles a Belgian monastery, provides an ideal locale for enjoying goblets of Belgian and French inspired beers. (Plenty of strong ales are always on hand to help combat Michigan’s chilly temps.) From pickles and charcuterie to beer cheese, everything on the inviting pub menu is house-made.

A Grand Rapids icon that doubles as one of Michigan’s most popular breweries, Founders’ delights local beerhounds on multiple levels. The casual taproom overlooks the brewhouse, and the draft selection always includes some options that are only available on-site. Housed in a former trucking depot, the space resembles a German beer hall, right down to the patio and beer garden. Visitors stay satiated with a deli menu of handcrafted sandwiches. Live music and open mic nights keep things lively.

In one of America’s sudsiest cities, Urban Chestnut stands out for its pair of outlets: a brewery and brewpub in the Grove neighborhood, and a brewery and biergarten in Midtown. Both locations serve up Teutonic treats - from warm pretzels and currywurst to crispy pork knuckle sandwiches - that pair perfectly with the fresh beers on offer. The brewery divides its output into the “revolution series” (artisanal, modern styles) and “reverence series” (classic, European-inspired brews).

With wide-open digs in Orlando's Audubon Park, Redlight Redlight is the bar of choice for many of Orlando's craftiest craft brew aficionados and already has 10 years under its belt. Its ridiculously ample beer list might feel overwhelming to some, but staffers are always happy to help. While Redlight Redlight doesn't have a kitchen, there's often a food truck just outside that will deliver food right to the bar.
