Great Beer Menus
I thought I would start a thread where we can post links to bars with great beer menus. I love places that feature 50 or more beers on tap and seek them out in cities that I visit. I'm not likely to try all 50+, but a number that large almost guarantees I will find several I like. As the OP, I think it would help to identify the city (and state / country) and will do so on the first post.

El Bait Shop - Des Moines Iowa
Link I have not been yet, but will be visiting my middle son and his girlfriend this weekend and they have promised to take me. I am back and I liked El Bait SHop a lot. We counted 116 taps on the wall. Having come from the Des Moines Brewfest, we lacked the capacity to try more than 2. The Nook - Huntsville, Alabama Link I have been here several times visiting my oldest son and his wife. The food is pretty good as well. Not a fancy place by any means, but comfortable. Fishale - Panama City Beach, Florida Link Fishale has to be mentioned here since it is one of my local hangouts. I avoid during spring break, but otherwise have no trouble getting a stool at the bar. As the name implies, there is seafood (and other stuff) in addition to beer. I usually opt for the mahi sliders and the hoppiest ale on tap. The servers here know their beer and will guide you if you ask. My daughter, Miss BamaVol, was in town for the weekend. I sent her and her husband, BamaBama, to Fishale Sunday night while we watched the grandson. She texted me that they had arrived on "dollar beer night". Needless to say, it was a late night. |
Nashville Area
These are places that have 50+ taps.
Flying Saucer - three locations: Nashville, Memphis, Cordova. www.beerknurd.com Beer Sellar - Nashville. Warning: smoking allowed. www.originalbeersellar.com/ Broadway Brewhouse - Nashville. Downtown location also allows smoking, but isn't as smoky as Beer Sellar. http://broadwaybrewhouse.net/ |

Cooter Brown's Tavern - New Orleans
http://www.cooterbrowns.com/main.html Tyler's Taproom - four locations in the RTP area: Carrboro, Apex, Raleigh and Durham http://www.tylerstaproom.com/ |

Thistle and Mirth - Pittsfield, Massachusetts
Link I couldn't find an actual website for this one. Pittsfield is where I grew up. I avoided the town for years but was back in 2013 for a wedding and was taken to the T&M for a cold one or two and ended up liking the place. The Casual Pint - Knoxville, Tennessee Link Unfortunately, no beer menu online. But these guys have put together a good atmosphere in both locations I have visited. It is a combination bottle shop and bar. There may not be 50 taps, but all are quality microbrews, many from outside the area. I like that this place will take a chance on a keg of something I've never seen or heard of. |

LOL...this reminds me of one of the more eyerolling bar themes I've come across in recent months.
"The soon-to-open Compass Bar will feature 180 bottled beers, representing 180 degrees on a compass, according to owners Ryan See and Patrick Wrona." Take a moment to let that sink in... Uh-huh. :D |
These don't necessarily have 50+ beers on tap, but their taps are generally devoted to good beer, and a few have an incredible bottle selection. :D
Zeno's Pub, State College, PA... http://www.zenospub.com/ Bonus points from me if you can find names on their "Passport: Around the World in 80 Beers wall" for the following quotes: "Thanks, Dad!" "I met my husband here." "I met my wife here." "Cheese, Gromit, Cheese." "Who Is John Galt?" If you get there on a weekend, and let me know you'll be headed there, I'll even buy you a beer if I join you. If some of the old bartenders are around, you can hear stories about me! :D Al's of Hampden, Enola, PA http://alsofhampden.com/verify.php?r...t=beerlist.php Order by number, as their beer list, displayed on flat panel TV's, is ever changing. Again, I'll buy you a drink if you let me know you'll be there. Holy Hound Taproom, York, PA http://holyhoundtaproom.com/http://h...ndtaproom.com/ Again, I'll buy a drink for you... Any of the Sharp Edge locations in Pittsburgh, PA are great, but if you stop at the Creekhouse, be careful not to pass out in the bathroom! :D http://sharpedgebeer.com |
Aptos St. BBQ in (you guessed it) Aptos, CA.
Outstanding Q http://aptosstbbq.com/ Great selection of beer http://www.beermenus.com/places/5328-aptos-st-bbq |

Great Beer Menus
All Yard House restaurants across the country. 130-250 beers on tap depending on location. Awesome happy hour and late night happy hour. Also their Pepper Crusted Filet Mignon is the best filet I have ever had outside of fine dining.

DFW Dallas TX
Quantity is good, but quality is better.
Consider two bars, a few blocks apart, near my home in Far North Dallas. The first has over 30 beers on tap, and yet the list bores me. You've probably had almost all these beers already, there's little unusual or hard to find. Staggering Irishman Code:
Draft ListHere's today's list, but it'll likely be very different when you get to town. Code:
(512) White IPA 5.3 16oz. Draft $5.50Other good choices in DFW are the Gingerman and the Flying Saucer. Each has a few locations. |
