AleSmith was my favorite in terms quality of beer and friendliness. They chatted with me when I said I was from Idaho, it was nice having dialogue back and forth.

Stone was a great experience, staff was nice, place is really beautiful

Saint Archer kinda sucked. Beer was decent but staff wasn't friendly. I posted about it on Reddit, was told I'm entitled. I was only looking for chit chat, some dialogue. Like oh your from Idaho, whatcha doing here? You should try these beers, you should buy this to go. I didn't want anything for free, just friendly chit chat. I might have expected this "entitlement" because it's how ale Smith treated me. They asked me about Idaho beers, what bought me down south, what breweries in going to hit up, just friendly chit chat. They had bottles for sale and quickly recommend what I should take home.

Firestone was kinda meh because I didn't have proper knowledge, so my knowledge. Didn't know there was two Firestone locations in California. I apparently went to the specialty place that does barreling. They were closed that day due to a special release, again my failure for not knowing that. Went there and asked if there's any brews I can try or buy, they asked if I had a ticket. I said no, they said then no, they're closed. I posted my experience on Reddit, was quickly told I'm an idiot for not knowing about the barrel house and that I should review their website before visiting. I learned my lesson quickly

Portneuf brewery in Pocatello is OK, staff occasionally serves the wrong beer. Beer is OK, nothing to right home about

Melvin brewery had great beers and great friendly staff. Same with snake river brewing, both in Jackson hole Wyoming

All other breweries I've been to were about the same experience, solid beer and service. Ballast point, hair of the dog, Hale's, selkrik, several Missoula breweries, snow Eagle, squatters
