I don't know how much you travel outside of the area, but I find that no matter where I go, wide-ranging beer selections are more common in beer-focused establishments, rather than restaurants. There are always exceptions, but they are always few and far between.

Well, I guess I'm forced to agree with a previous poster - if all you can find in Nashville is Shocktop and other big-vat beers, and if your husband's tastes in beer aren't accommodated by the wide availability and variety that can be found in Nashville if one makes the effort to look, you should consider moving to someplace where the selection is more in tune with his tastes. Perhaps an area of the country where there are a lot of descendents of German/Belgian/Dutch immigrants would have more easily-found restaurants with a beer selection catering to his likes. Consider Minneapolis/St. Paul.
