In honor of Craft Beer Week, I spent some time tracking down breweries and bars across the country where you can drink delicious, local beer and play cornhole with a group of friends and friendly strangers.
For those of you up in Maine, Foundation Brewing Company has cornhole boards set up during nicer weather if you’re feeling competitive.
For the New Yorkers, Bronx Brewery just opened their outdoor beer garden, complete with cornhole boards and appropriately called “the Backyard,” earlier this month.
Moving south, Pittsburgh has a few hot spots with various pub games and cornhole.
Charlotte, NC’s VBGB is a beer hall & garden and restaurant, with plenty to eat and drink while you enjoy a game.
Down in Asheville, one of Asheville Brewing’s locations has a large covered patio where you can play and enjoy what I’ve heard is absolutely delicious pizza.
In Grand Junction, CO, Edgewater Brewery (“The Edge”) has a large, grassy outdoor patio with an amazing view while you sip on your favorite brew and play cornhole.
Seattle’s Populuxe Brewery has a kid-friendly and dog-friendly outdoor courtyard with a cornhole court (and fire pits/heaters on cooler evenings.)
While they don’t have it on their website, Lost & Found in the Bay Area has a 7,000-sq.-ft. patio where you can play cornhole with 17 rotating California beers on tap to choose from.
And in my current city, Los Angeles, you can find a piece of the Midwest at Angel City Brewery in DTLA’s hip and growing Arts District.
But home is where the heart is, so if you’re looking for a place to kick back with an amazing local beer and a game of cornhole in Cincinnati, look no further than Rhinegeist. Located in Moerlein’s old bottling plant from the late 1800s, this amazing space in historic Over-the-Rhine has plenty of space to enjoy a few friendly games.
One of the only things I like more than beer and cornhole is animals and helping pets in need, so if you don’t enjoy beer and want to play for a cause, One of a Kind Pet Rescue in northern Ohio will have cornhole at their upcoming Summer BBQ on June 7th.
Do you have a favorite local spot where you can play cornhole while enjoying your favorite beverage? Let us know!
