Most Popular Breweries by State as per Perplexity

Taking a look at the most popular brewery in each state can be a bit difficult. But thankfully with AI, we can quick pin down things a bit more succinctly. So I fired up the old Perplexity AI machine, and threw it the commands of “what is the most popular brewery in each state” and then gave it the caveats of using Untappd data, sales data, online mentions, and variables such as website recommendations and such.

And here’s what it gave us:

Most Popular Brewery in Each State as of February 2025

Alabama TrimTab Brewing Co.
Alaska Alaskan Brewing Company

Tavour – Craft beer delivered to your doorstep. (photo courtesy of Tavour)

The craft beer scene is constantly evolving, and finding the latest, most exclusive brews can sometimes feel like a treasure hunt. That’s where Tavour comes in. If you’re a fan of rare, small-batch craft beer from all corners of the U.S., Tavour offers a solution that brings the hunt to your doorstep. Whether you’re a seasoned beer enthusiast or just starting your craft beer journey, Tavour is a must-know platform for discovering beers you won’t find at your local store.

What is Tavour?

Tavour

Tavour is an online craft beer delivery service that specializes in connecting beer lovers with limited-edition, hard-to-find brews from independent breweries across the country. Founded in 2013, Tavour partners with craft breweries—many of which produce small batches that are only available in specific regions. Their mission is simple: to make exceptional craft beer accessible to everyone, no matter where you live.

Tavour is an innovative craft beer delivery service that connects beer enthusiasts with unique and hard-to-find brews from independent breweries across the U.S. Founded in Seattle in 2013, Tavour allows customers to discover small-batch, limited-edition, and specialty beers that may not be available in their local market. The platform curates a wide variety of beers, from IPAs and stouts to sours and barrel-aged options, ensuring there’s something for every taste. Unlike traditional beer subscription boxes, Tavour gives users the freedom to hand-pick the beers they want, offering them the opportunity to explore diverse styles and flavors.

What sets Tavour apart is its emphasis on showcasing lesser-known craft breweries. The service partners with a rotating selection of breweries, giving small, independent beer makers a chance to reach a broader audience. Each beer featured on the app or website comes with detailed descriptions, tasting notes, and insights into the brewery that created it, giving customers a well-rounded understanding of what they’re purchasing. The app is designed to make the selection process easy, with new beers added daily, and users can create their own custom boxes by adding beers to their cart over time, only paying for shipping when they’re ready to receive their order.

Tavour is also highly regarded for its flexibility and transparency. There are no membership fees or monthly commitments—users simply pay for the beers they select. This makes it a popular choice for both casual beer drinkers and dedicated craft beer collectors. Whether someone is looking to try the latest release from a renowned brewery or discover a hidden gem from a small town, Tavour provides a seamless way to access exclusive beers that might otherwise be out of reach. Through its app-based platform, Tavour has created a unique community of beer lovers who can explore, share, and enjoy their passion for craft beer.

How Does Tavour Work?

Tavour operates through its app and website, allowing users to browse a constantly updated selection of unique beers. Here’s how it works:

  1. Sign Up for Free: Create a Tavour account (no subscription required) and get access to a handpicked selection of beers.
  2. Browse the Beers: Every day, Tavour introduces two new beers to their marketplace. You can read detailed descriptions, see brewery information, and even view tasting notes to help make your decision.
  3. Build Your Box: Add as many beers as you want to your “box.” Tavour doesn’t require minimum purchases—just add beers you’re excited to try. Your box ships when you decide, ensuring you get exactly what you want, when you want it.
  4. Pay as You Go: There are no monthly fees or hidden charges—just pay for the beers you select and shipping costs.
  5. Enjoy Your Craft Beer: Once your box is ready, Tavour ships your curated selection right to your door, delivering an unparalleled craft beer experience.

Why Tavour is Perfect for Craft Beer Enthusiasts

Tavour’s main draw is its impressive selection of craft beers from breweries that often fly under the radar. From barrel-aged stouts to hazy IPAs, each beer is carefully curated for quality and uniqueness. Here’s why craft beer lovers should consider Tavour:

  • Exclusive Access: Many of the beers on Tavour are difficult or impossible to find outside their local markets. If you’re chasing after rare releases, Tavour offers access to breweries that are typically only available regionally.
  • No Subscriptions: Unlike other services that lock you into monthly beer shipments, Tavour lets you buy only the beers you’re excited about. This flexibility is perfect for those who want control over their beer purchases.
  • Personalized Experience: Tavour allows users to choose exactly what they want to try. Whether you’re into sours, stouts, or lagers, you can pick and choose to build a box that perfectly matches your taste.
  • Detailed Beer Descriptions: Each beer on Tavour comes with tasting notes and detailed descriptions, helping users make informed decisions. Whether you’re new to craft beer or a seasoned aficionado, this helps you discover new styles and breweries.

Tavour has partnered with hundreds of small breweries, bringing you limited-edition beers from all across the country. Some of the most popular breweries featured on Tavour include (quick summary):

  • Fremont Brewing (Seattle, WA): Known for their rich barrel-aged stouts and flavorful IPAs, Fremont is a must-try for craft beer enthusiasts.

Tavour features a rotating selection of top-tier breweries, giving beer lovers access to some of the best craft beers across the country. While the selection changes frequently, here are five standout breweries you can often find on Tavour, known for their quality, innovation, and cult following (more in-depth look at these five breweries):

1. Fremont Brewing (Seattle, WA)

  • Specialty: Barrel-aged stouts, IPAs, and bold lagers.
  • Why They Stand Out: Fremont Brewing is renowned for its deep, rich barrel-aged stouts like the B-Bomb series and Rusty Nail, as well as their vibrant IPAs such as Head Full of Dynomite. Their brews are often sought after by collectors and beer enthusiasts alike.

2. Great Notion Brewing (Portland, OR)

  • Specialty: Hazy IPAs, pastry stouts, and sours.
  • Why They Stand Out: Great Notion has built a loyal fan base thanks to its innovative beers that push flavor boundaries. Their hazy IPAs are juicy and fruit-forward, while their pastry stouts are dessert-like, with decadent flavors of chocolate, coffee, and vanilla.

3. The Bruery (Placentia, CA)

  • Specialty: Barrel-aged beers, sours, and experimental ales.
  • Why They Stand Out: The Bruery is celebrated for its extensive barrel-aging program and complex beers, including sour ales and high-gravity, barrel-aged stouts. Their Black Tuesday imperial stout and Tart of Darkness sour stout are legendary in the craft beer world.

4. Urban South Brewery (New Orleans, LA)

  • Specialty: Fruited sours, hazy IPAs, and creative lagers.
  • Why They Stand Out: Urban South combines the rich brewing heritage of New Orleans with modern, experimental brewing techniques. Their heavily fruited sours and hazy IPAs are eye-catching and packed with bold, tropical flavors, making them fan favorites.

5. Toppling Goliath Brewing Co. (Decorah, IA)

  • Specialty: IPAs, barrel-aged stouts.
  • Why They Stand Out: Toppling Goliath is best known for their world-class IPAs like King Sue and Pseudobass, as well as their iconic barrel-aged stouts like Kentucky Brunch Brand Stout (KBBS). These beers consistently rank among the top in the world, drawing high demand whenever they are available on Tavour.

These breweries represent the cutting edge of craft brewing and are frequent partners with Tavour, making it an exciting platform for beer enthusiasts who want to explore the best beers from around the country.

Is Tavour Worth It?

For craft beer lovers, Tavour is a game changer. It offers convenience, variety, and access to some of the best beers in the country. While the shipping costs can add up depending on your location, the chance to try beers that are otherwise unattainable makes it worthwhile for many.

How to Maximize Your Tavour Experience

  • Check Daily: New beers are added daily, so it’s worth checking the app regularly to snag limited releases before they sell out.
  • Read Reviews: Tavour features user reviews, helping you get a sense of which beers are worth adding to your box.
  • Explore New Styles: Use Tavour as a way to explore new beer styles. If you’re typically an IPA drinker, try branching out into sours or saisons.

November Recap https://thebeerthrillers.com/2019/12/07/november-recap/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=november-recap Sun, 08 Dec 2019 00:04:57 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=1630 November was certainly one interesting month! The Beer Thrillers pumped out an incredible volume of blog posts – 34 in total. From four different people. Two being brand new writers for us. Myself – B. Kline – I pumped out 30 blog posts, one per day. It was quite the adventure, quite the journey. My blog posts averaged 1016 words per post, and there was 30 from myself alone, from beer reviews, brewery reviews, news, tidbits, events, and all kinds of things in between. From a large host of locations, from beers in bottle, draft, and can, from several new breweries, and many old standby’s of the blog. And just like I challenged myself to do a new blog post each day, I had also challenged myself to drink a new beer each day (new as in new to me, and a unique beer to myself), so this was certainly a very interesting, challenging, and fun month.

Some days the blog posts were easy. Other days not so much. Some days I had the blog post done at 7:30 or 8AM… other days I’m struggling to get the blog post done, and wrapping it up at 11:58PM.

I never truly felt like I had burnt myself out…. until I came to doing this recap blog post. Thats why its now December 7th and its getting posted; when this was meant to be posted on December 1st. And I still don’t think I’m ‘burnt out’. I think its a case of ‘start-up issues’. The hardest part about any blog post is starting the blog post. Like writing anything, the hardest part is the beginning, is putting ink to paper, or to type those first few words. So, as the time stretched from December 1st… to December 2nd…. to December 3rd…. I hesitated and procrastinated more and more, and this post went further and further by the wayside. So for that, and for the fact that the blog as a whole hasn’t had a single post in December, and no new blog post in a week, I apologize. For those of you who were looking forward to this recap posting of my “November NaNoWriMo Challenge”, I apologize. And yes, I know I’m not REALLY doing a NaNoWriMo, and I know I’m not using the term correctly.

But this is the recap post, and it is finally going live. I apologize for its tardiness, but hopefully you will enjoy it all the same.

I met all three of my self-set hard challenges for November, and fell short of a soft-challenge for myself. My hard challenges were: 1) One new blog post per day, 2) One new unique beer per day, and 3) One 1-mile or more walk per day. These challenges I completed. (Figured the 1-mile or more walk would counter-balance the fact I was drinking every day.) The soft challenge I failed was hitting my 10K steps per day. And I only failed that one day…. ironically the second day of the month. I only got 8.8K steps that day, mainly due to a friend gathering and party and having gone to it right after work.

But you all don’t really care about the challenges, and just want to see the recap right?! So here’s whats going with that. I’m going to make a list here of the dates (November 1st, November 2nd, November 3rd, etc.) as headings, and then underneath it, list the different blog posts we posted that day (mine, J. Doncevic’s reviews, AJ’s Default Brewing post, and the guest writing blog post by Let Us Drink Beer). I will also list what new unique beer I had each of those days (or in the cases of some days, ‘unique beers’). So lets to it!

Whew, what an exhausting month November was. I think part of the reason it took me so long to get the energy to do this recap post, was knowing the amount of formatting involved and the photos…. and now that the challenge is over, a malaise kind of settled over me. Like my job was completed. I started this post this morning before work, and had to finish it now after an extra hour or so of work on it this evening. I still want to put in some statistics of the month, for the blog, and for myself, and will most likely come in and do the edit for that later tonight or tomorrow. I will also add the tags and categories. But for now, I just want to get this live and up on the internet. Its 7PM and this is long overdo.

I would like to thank my contributors and co-authors on this blog for making this month (and all the time in general) go so well, and for providing so much help, fun and entertaining blog posts to read, and for helping so much with the blog! Thank you J. Doncevic, AJ Brechbiel (Default Brewing), and Let us Drink Beer Blog. My blog post for Let us Drink Beer’s blog will go live tomorrow and I will provide a link here for that in the statistics edit I will do. In the meantime you can read their post about their upcoming additions to their blog here: Let us Drink Beer: Exciting Additions Coming Soon!

Cheers and I hope you all enjoyed all of our blog posts in November. Heres to the rest of 2019, and then on to the future, 2020, and the next decade!
