America's Top 10 Craft Breweries

When the fog dissipates over Northern California's coastal Half Moon Bay, patrons come out in droves to sip pints of Bootlegger's Brown Ale and Maverick's Amber Ale—named for the area's annual big wave surf competition—upon Half Moon Bay Brewing Company's spacious outdoor deck. The brewery also hosts a series of community-friendly events like “Brews & Views”, a free monthly political lecture and discussion. Plus, you can be sure you’ll get a tasty pint since they’ve been brewing for 10 years onsite. (hmbbrewingco.com)
