They’ve developed a reputation for not only producing fine craft beers, but doing so with a conscience -- they strive to keep their carbon footprint as small as possible.

Philips

Your last stop will be at Phillips brewery, where you can unwind in their tasting room with one of their sixteen beers they have on tap (with all that walking, you’ve earned it!).
