My own personal Beer Heaven

[gar3555]

Just got back from the Flying Saucer. Beer Heaven for myself has been achieved. Being a backwoods boy from Kansas , and never having experienced beer nirvana...I am complete...Started the evening off with a Sierra Nevada Tumblr, moved on to the Arrogant Bastard, then some Ruination, then Dogfish Head 90 Min., Flying Dog Double Dog, and finished with a Stone 13th Anniv.

Then I walked Beale Street. Love Memphis!!

I should add... what is everyone else personal beer heaven?

I'd say it's a tie between Toronado and The Trappist.

Oh, and paging Zinfamous... The Trappist looks like it currently has Older Viscosity on tap.

 

[Dirigible]

Trappist is good. I'm usually too lazy to travel further than Barclay's though. It's only 140 steps from my front door to theirs, fewer if I just sit on the patio.

:beer:

Went to Hopworks in Portland 2 weeks ago. Good beer but there's a thick organic granola vibe there.

Is there any sort of frequently-updated beer list for the SF Toronado?

 

[scott916]

Not that I know of. I usually just enjoy the taps anyway.

 

[shocksyde]

Check out ChurchKey in DC.

Great draft list, and I don't think it's online, but they have over 300 beers available by the bottle, including amazing, hard-to-find Belgians.

Oh, and the food is insanely good. White truffled Mac and cheese? You'd better believe it!

Beale Street... don't stray too far off the beaten path, friend.

 

[Scarpozzi]

This is my own personal beer haven...

It currently contains 10 gallons of wit, 5 gallons of Oktoberfest, and 5 gallons of Root Beer.

theres a local bar with 45 beers on draft, they change a couple every now and again and have local micro and local seasonal brews as well as other micros and seasonals, i love that place, but its pricey to drink there. they have a shop in the back where you can buy MORE beer and make a custom 6 pack.

theres a wine and beer store also, great selection of beer, many of them are very hard to find. see the list in my sig, i drink a lot of beer and they have stuff ive still never heard of. custom 6 packs there, too

then theres total wine & beer, those places have great selections and let you make custom 6 packs (so does the previously mentioned store, and fresh market and some other places)

harris teeter and lowes foods carry a surprisingly large variety of beer. kansas sucks, but see if you can find a good shopping place in topeka or wichita...i wasnt into beer much there when i lived in kansas so i didnt look around. there *is* a good place or two in topeka that are brewpubs, the blind tiger had some decent beer when i was there a while back.

im also starting to homebrew, at some point ill probably have multiple brews going but right now i just have my first one fermenting...i will soon be my own beer heaven.

 

[RagingBITCH]

Seriously? It's Memphis dood...watch yourself.

Moose Drool -- try it.

The Gingerman Pub. There's lots of them and they all have great selections.

Lot's of them? There are now 6 of them in Texas, they just opened a few more recently. The one in NYC is not affiliated, and I'm not sure if there are other imposters or not.

I would hardly call that a lot of them

 

[dug777]

Just bottled a top notch dublin stout, was entirely drinkable out of the fermenter so it will make brave men weak tears of joy in a month or two

How many bars have 6 or more locations?
