Travel Tips
If you're going out of town take advantage of the opportunity to score local beers. Find out where the prewbubs are and hit them first. Leave room in your luggage to bring home some cans of beer. Take a small suitcase inside a large suitcase on the way out in order to bring beers home.
To plan your trip you must start with PubCrawler it has a great list of pubs and beer bars. be careful, however, some of the smaller places do not last long and if you do not see a recent entry the pub or bar may be closed.
