It's not a large selection at all, maybe 4 taps (?), and rotates to my knowledge. But I've usually found some local IPA, Porter and the like available. Someone who's been there more recently would have to provide the current selection.

Airbraü at MUC is literally a brewery at the airport...not even a place that serves beer brewed offsite...not AA related, but the Maple Leaf Lounge used to allow you to pull your own Guinness, but I think that is gone now.
im sure I have a list of favorites somewhere

Good one! Personally I prefer 'healthy' doses of Vitamin E (ethanol) followed the next morning with Vitamin C (caffeine/coffee). When taken sequentially on an overnight transoceanic flight (with a lie-flat sleep in between) just increases the enjoyment...

Unknown IPA at the CLT AC is pretty good, with Hoppyum IPA in a bottle as backup (thank you drink chits).
The Belgian Beer place in the international terminal at ATL is great for getting a Westmalle or Duvel before a BA flight.
In SAV, there's a bar right in the middle of the concourse walkway, right at the AA gates. The beer isn't so great (Southbound seems to be the only local brewer with product in the terminal), but sometimes I have been known to order one while waiting for a flight.
Curious to hear about the OW Business Lounge in TBIT. I usually go to the Qantas lounge for a Cooper's Pale...got lucky once when they had Cooper's Stout.

Stop by 4 peaks brewery by Gate A20 when at Sky Harbor. The Kiltlifter is always a popular one. I like the sunbru kolsch as well.
Been drinking their brew since they first started brewing in the early 90s. In college, I spent a good number of nights on my friend's couch who lived right across the street from their original 8th street location!

I find that outstations tend to have decent selection. This week, I'll be enjoying Bell's Two Hearted while waiting for departure from GRR. MKE also as a decent selection at the Usinger's pub just across from the Delta SkyClub. Hubs are pretty well covered by you folks here, but I'd be happy to contribute to a WIKI re: Outstations.

OK, I added a Wiki. Feel free to add/edit as you see fit.

Just a heads up, the main Stone location at SAN is a bit of a walk from the AA gates. But, right next to the AC is a place that serves both draft and bottles of Stone.

i visited the OW business lounge on Thursday as planned. They had the following beers on tap on the lounge
Estrella Lager (from Barcelona)
The Dude’s IPA
Baja Brewing Co. Blonde Ale
Baja Brewing Co. Black Ale
I stuck with a few glasses of bubbles instead.

Any rumors about when AA might start catering a different IPA? IMO, Goose Island has been around for too long and there are so many better choices now. All the more reason for me to keep flying Delta, as they has been doing better in this department.
