Maybe bizarre. My happy place is a new brewery taproom.
Visiting some different places. Experiencing what other beer fanatics have set up as their special place. Tasting what they've been able to put together. Looking for that "diamond in the rough". Tasting a beer from a small spot that's great or even better than some of the best.
I've been to several hundred around the U.S. and 7 countries. It's a fun and tasty hobby.
I second that. I travel a lot for work, sometimes a bit obscure places (as in not touristic destinations), and I always try to find the odd tap room or micro brewery. It's often hit or miss, but stumbling upon the rare gem every once in a while always feels really good. Bonus points if the head brewer is there and it's a slow day so they have time to chat beer and brewing. And even in the well known areas, it's fun to sift through the touristy hipster "more-show-than-anything" places to finally arrive at one which has said vibe. Had a week in Portland, OR, and visited about a dozen or so places, and from the over marketed polished hip joint with mediocre beer to the "here's a bar and some stools thrown into the brewery hall" with absolutely stunning brews it had everything.
Nice
