13 Craft Beer Hotels from the Pacific Northwest to the Mexican Coast and Europe

People are traveling more than ever to drink at their favorite breweries. With these craft beer hotels, you can drink within a stumble from your room.

The robust aroma of hops gives the scent of bright citrus, robust pine, or of fresh flowers. The rich color – whether golden, deep amber, or a black as night – is captivating. The taste of a well-made craft beer can vary from a bread-like malty richness to tart cherries to a bold coffee flavor to countless more. Taking that first sip on my travels instantly makes me present in my surroundings and ready for my adventure.

Craft beer is no longer a hipster niche with travelers of every stripe planning trips around their favorite breweries. There are beer fests to attend, beer-themed spa services, and beer tours of popular cities. But nothing completes the package more than staying at a beer-focused hotel. These hotels offer free beer at check-in, an on-site brewery, or even a beer concierge to help you plan your trip.
