#71. Morgantown

Along the banks of the Monongahela River is Morgantown, known primarily for housing West Virginia University and its 30,000 students. The city features many interesting neighborhoods, several theaters and parks, and a hearty nighttime scene, including a number of trendy microbreweries. Two crowd-pleasing hotspots are Mountain State Brewing Co. as well as Morgantown Brewing Co., which makes our pick, the Coal City Stout.
