MUC - Airbräu, located between T1 and T2 claims to the world's only airport brewery. Pints are a bargain at €2.75(!) and the weiss beer is quite good. The bar has a nice, classic German beerpub vibe to it including a full food menu.
KIV - They have their own brewery in house as well. Pints are around €1 and passable. Better than most other beers you'll get in Moldova.
BGY - Elav brewery have their own bar here. Decent beers, albeit, a little bit pricey.
DUB - T1 has one bar with a good selection of Irish craft beer, Marqette. T2 used to have Porterhouse beers on tap but they've been dropped. Disappointingly there's very little beer available in duty free aside from some O'Hara's gift packs.
I've not mentioned any UK airports but they tend to always have a Wetherspoons, which will serve a few real ales plus some draft and bottled craft beer as well. Haven't found any UK airport that goes above and beyond what a Wetherspoons offers though, in terms of beer.
Any other airports out there that have a decent craft beer offering? Bonus points if any craft beer is found in a lounge.
Nice tip on MUC as here is the bier list for airbrau which I will try in September:

Last year I enjoyed Erdinger at airport which is big name weirs bier.
Do you write any trip reports for Moldova? I was thinking of going but safety seems to be serious consideration of gangs and theft per wikipedia.
In Czech last year in Chex(border near Germany) I almost was attacked by gypsies.
Anyway will try to Lviv, Ukraine and possibly Moldova like you seem mohave.
As for microbrew - seek out the bier festivals in Prague(went to one in May) and near Bamberg, Germany, like Annafest(July) and Bockfest in (dec) fascinating beer. MUCis one of few airports with good local Bavarian beers.
