>>> Pub List dated 18 March 94 <<< AUSTRALIA Freemantle: Matilda Bay Brewing Brewpub/restaurant (and microbrewery?) serving Redback, Dogbolter. There are 18 brewpubs in this chain from 9 on the east coast, 4 in Sydney, 3 in Adelade, and 1 in Tasmania. Melbourne: Loaded Dog Pub Brewpub in the historical North Fitzroy district. It is a brew pub and restaurant that serves any one of three different types of beer it brews on premise. When I was there I believe they had an Ale, a Lager, and a Stout on tap. Numerous other Australian beers are served as well (bottled). A gift shop adjoins. Sydney: The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel - Brewpub in a hotel. The oldest continually licensed pub in Sydney. AUSTRIA Vienna: Augustiner Braustuble Bar BELGIUM Antwerp: Brussels: Becasse, La - 11 Rue Tabora; B1000 (02)511.00.06 Pub. Very close to the Grand' Place, down an alley-like walkway from the Rue Tabora. Serves Gueuze Becasse on tap in earthenware pitchers. Even though I was alone, and I ordered one for myself, I still got a small pitcher, big enough for two (me and myself? :-). Dee-Lish-Us, as Eddie Longo would say. Biers Artisinals - Waverse Steenweg 174, 1050 Brussels; (02)512.17.88 Beer Store, subway stop St. Gilles "huge selection of beers and glassware...talk to the proprietor, Nasser Ektaferi. Nasser is full of info about the Belgian beer scene" Another location at Waterloo Steenweg 25, 1060 Brussels; (02)538.63.69 Cantillon Gueuze Brewery Museum - Rue gheude 56; B1070 (02)521 49 28 Brewery / Museum (in Belgian: Musee Bruxellois de la Gueuze ASBL) 70 france for a tour of the worlds only Gueuze museum! Open Saturdays 11am - 3:30PM mid-October to June. Cantillon is also a non-exporting Gueuze brewery. It is in "Anderlecht" and is "The summit of the lambic brewer's art." The Rose' de Gambrinus and the Framboise are classics of the style, and should not be missed. They are available at specialty shops, the ones that carry a wide variety of beverages. Chaloupe d'Or, La - 24-25 Grand' Place; B1000 (02)511.41.61 Pub Big pub on the northeast side of the Grand' Place. One of several beer-cafes on the Grand' Place, with a reasonable selection of beers. Not the best, perhaps, but quite pleasant, very atmospheric, and you do have the glory of the Grand' Place right outside. Cirio, Le - 18 Rue de la Bourse; B1000 Pub Bistro. On the opposite (north) side of the Bourse from the Falstaff, on the Rue de la Bourse. Older, more sedate, more than fifty beers available; try the 'Scotch' on tap, served in a little pewter mug. The mug may look little, but believe me, it's plenty. The 'Scotch' ales sold in Belgium are STRONG. Also very good. Corbeau, Au - 18 Rue St-Michel; B1000 (02)219.52.46 Pub Au Corbeau ('At the Raven') is one place that you will not be saying 'nevermore' to. Very close to the heart of town, and handy for the Rue Neuve, Brussels' long pedestrian shopping street. Good selection on tap and in the bottle, but the specialty of this pub is only hinted at on the beer-list. Every beer has two prices, not unlike some American pubs and taverns, but here, the second (larger) price is not for a pitcher, it's for a 'yard of ale' serving of whatever you order! And yes, all the beers here are available in this large (one liter) serving. For a mild Belgian ale, or some of the other beers, this may be fine; but for some of the abbey ales, watch out! Nice room with high ceilings, in the old 'railroad tavern' style, like the Mort Subite. Drinks Wets - Steenweg op Halle 209, 1640 Sint-Genesius-Rode; 02/380.32.27 Beer Store, "There were English-speaking people working there, and they take VISA, god bless 'em. All I can say about this place is that it offers by far the biggest beer selection I've ever seen in Belgium, including beers from some very small breweries. ... The bad news it that you'll definitely need a car to get to this place, which is located south of Bruxelles and east of Beersel." Falstaff - 17-23 Rue Henri Maus; B1000 (02)511.87.89 Pub Bistro Across from the south side of the Bourse on Rue Henri Maus. HUGE. Also very popular. At least fifty beers total, some on tap, some in the bottle. I drank a Rodenbach here (fresh, vinuous, and thoroughly delightful), then asked for my check: "La comte, s'il vous plait." The waiter thought I said "L'encore, s'il vous plait," and dutifully brought another. I explained my actual desire, the waiter was very agreeable ("oh, pardon, Monsieur!"), gave me my check, and sat down and drank the second Rodenbach. Wonderful place, and yes, I'll be back. On another visit, I had the opportunity to sample the Rodenbach Alexander. More potent than the basic Rodenbach, still with that wine-like character. Recommended for Rodenbach fans. Fleur en Paper Dore', La - 5 Rue des Alexiens; B1000 (02)511.16.59 Pub This one dates back to 1846, so historical is probably the appropriate adjective here. Originally founded by the Sisters of Charity, now privately owned, it's very pleasant inside, with room for just a couple of sidewalk tables in good weather. Good variety of beers, from your basic Stella Artois to gueuze, kriek, Orval, other Trappist ales, and 'biere blanche' (witbier, the pale wheat beer of Belgium). The name means 'The Gilded Paper Flower' in English. Lots of art 'n' things on the walls. Pleasant and quiet, no blasting recorded music here. Jugement Derniere, Le - 165 Chaussee de Haecht; B1030 Pub 265 beers! A bit closer to the center of town than the vast selection at Moeder Lambic. Nice room, small selection on draught, huge selection in the bottle. Try the beers from 'De Dolle Brouwers' here. Also a 'Kapuciner Kloster Alt' from the brewery at Eupen, in the German-speaking corner of Belgium. Snack menu too, in case one gets a bit peckish. This one's a bit farther out of the city-center than the above-mentioned Ultieme Hallucinatie, but it's worth a visit. The menus are available, for a small price, as souvenirs. Moeder Lambic - 68 Rue de Savoie; B1060 (02)538.09.38 Pub EIGHT HUNDRED different beers from all over the world. Lots of Lambic, Kriek, Abbey ales; if it's Belgian, they have it, it's all here. --> Sept. 1991 update - 1100 beers (!!). Moeder Lambic is a small, cozy cafe', very comfortable. The beer-list is vast, in a thick binder. If you despair of making a choice, the staff is knowledgable. They also keep Belgian comic-books ('albums desinees', usually hard- bound) for your reading pleasure, an interesting way to improve your French. And as if this isn't enough, another Moeder Lambic is in the the Ixelles area. After looking at the list of Belgian beers, keep reading to see the 'imports'. American Budweiser at $4.50 a bottle! Canadian Moosehead for $8.00! Well, after all, Americans pay high prices for imported Belgian beers, so maybe it's only fair... Moeder Lambic 2 - 441 Chausee de Boondael; B1050 Pub The second Moeder Lambic goes for freshness, and, after all, the freshest beers are those on draught, if handled properly, and so ML2 takes this to the logical extreme, with 55 taps. Liefman's Kriek on draught is sublime. Adelscott from France is also available, as are an abbey ale or two, gueuze, framboise, Belgian pilsner, witbier, and many others. Quite a bit larger than the original Moeder Lambic, but still comfortable. Lambic, Kriek, Abbey ales; if it's Belgian, they have it, it's all here. Mort Subite - 7 Rue Montagne-aux-Herbes-Potageres; B1000 Pub Bistro From the Grand' Place, go to the northeast corner, head north, go through the Galeries St. Hubert, to the Rue Montagne-aux-Herbes- Potageres, at number 7. Gueuze-lambic, Kriek, Framboise, Cassis (Gueuze flavoured with currants), Peche (Gueuze flavoured with peaches), and Faro. All here. All excellent. Pere Faro, Le - 442 Chausee d'Alsemberg; B1060 Pub Le Pere Faro, named after the Faro style of sugared lambic beer, is at least a cousin of the Moeder Lambic pubs. A reasonably large selection of beers (at least 100, probably more) awaits most clients of this small, humble, and rather funky little pub-cafe'. Comfortable at least three seasons a year, but a little drafty on the coldest winter days. Still, it's agreeable, and in clement weather, there's a beer garden in front for those who like to imbibe outdoors. The whole operation is remarkably well-protected from the distractions of the street, as the beer garden, in front, is surrounded by a wall; street access is through an iron gate. Another convenience is that this pub is on the same tram-line that will drop you off one block from the original Moeder Lambic pub (tram 55). This makes makes for excellent public- transport access, even from the center of the city. Roy d'Espagne - 1 Grand' Place; B1000 Pub. Big pub with a stuffed horse in the middle of the room. Middling good selection, but avoid the Belle-Vue geuze-lambic served here; Belle-Vue's products are the Budweiser of geuze, and their fruit beers are cloyingly sweet. If you order a Belle-Vue, at least one of the waiters will recommend that you try a different beer, or go visit the Becasse for their lambic instead. Others may be content to let you try, and if you like the sweet flavours, why not? But there's also the usual range of abbey ales, a Belgian pilsner-style lager or two, and a few other specialties. T'Spinnekopke - 1 Place Jardin au Fleurs; B1000 (02)511.86.95 Pub Historic pub in the south-central part of the city, and the place to go for Cantillon, the house gueuze-lambic here, also available in Kriek, Framboise, and Faro. The Framboise served is usually the 'Rose' de Gambrinus', and is one of the most uncompromising of the genre. Where many Framboise beers have been made with a certain mass-market sweetness, the Cantillon version is still quite sour and astringent, with the raspberry taste in the background. Cantillon is probably one of the last truly traditional gueuze-brewers, and the Spinnekopke is the perfect place to have one. Tables outside on pleasant days. By the way, this may not be the ideal place for arachnophobes - this cafe's name in English would be 'the Spider' . Ultieme Hallucinatie, De - 316 Rue Royale; B1030 (02)217.06.14 Pub Bistro Restaurant Bar just out of the city center, north of the Botanical Gardens and the big Scandic Crown Hotel. The place is beautiful, and you can't go wrong with the sixty beers available. I had a Hoegaarden Witbier here, and an abbey ale - I believe it was a Grimbergen. Beers are presented on individual serving trays, in their own unique glass, and with little cups of roasted nuts on the side. --> Also, the pub menu has some reasonbly decent food, and the prices are not real high (in contrast to the restaurant, in the same building, with lots of white linen, fresh fish, quality preparation, and prices to match). A half-chicken dinner with fries and salad will run around eight or nine dollars (U.S.) and will fill you up handsomely in the bargain. Delicious with a Belgian ale, a gueuze, a witbier... Ghent: Bridge, The Bar next to the cathedral Hopduvel, De - Rokkerelstraat 10; B-9000 Brewpub (They also have a beer store by this name For the beer-lover, this is probably one of the best of the Belgian pubs, especially in terms of ambiance. Spacious, woody room, small bar-area, upstairs grill restaurant, and quite simply the nicest beer- garden (beautifully landscaped) you will ever find. Great selection of beers, at least 100 or so, with five on draught. The frambozenbier (raspberry-flavoured gueuze) fresh from the tap is tasty and refreshing on a warm day, and delightfully presented in red-stemmed glasses. When it's busy, be prepared to wait a bit for service; trying to pick the right beers and glasses for all the guests in a place this big, when it's full, is a time-consuming task, but it's well worth the wait. For those not dining, there are light snacks, nuts, sausages, and cheese, to nibble with your favourite beverage. The "Belgium - the Beer Country" poster, which you will see in a lot of cafes, is an original product of the people who run the Hopduvel, and it's available here, as is a wooden crate packed with a dozen Belgian specialty beers. It's a little extra effort to take home perhaps, but quite a souvenir! "It lies in an ordinary terraced street, and there are houses on each side of the pub. The front door is just like any other front door (in fact I walked past it and only realised where the entrance was when someone left the pub!), but once inside the decor and atmosphere just make you want to stay forever. But if you go through the pub you can go and sit in the beergarden (if its a nice day) and drink your beer at either a picnic table or an old beer barrel." Waterhuis aan de Bierkant, Het - Groentenmarkt 9; B-9000 Pub A fine alternative to the Hopduvel, and a bit closer to the center of town (right in it, in fact). After a thirsty day wandering through the the Gravensteen castle, admiring the old cathedrals and belfries, and seeing the big Vrijdagmarkt square area, the Waterhuis will slake your thirst with more than 100 well-chosen Belgian beers, including a substantial selection of 'streekbieren' (regional specialty beers). Friendly staff, and a sizable outdoor patio make for a fine place for tasting a couple of Belgian specialities on a warm summer evening. For those of you who appreciate the genevers (gins) and liquers, a 'proef- lokaal' (specialty bar with distilled liquors and aperitifs, usually served neat in stemmed one-ounce glasses) is right next-door. White Lion Bar on the Canal next the post office (?) Louvain-la-Neuve: Cidex Beer store / market, accessible by train from Brussels Ostende: Drinklands Beer Store t'Ostens Bierhuis - 48 Kapucijnenstraat Bar recommended by Michael Jackson Taverne Botteltje - 19 Louisastraat Bar about 6 blocks from the ferry. Six beers on draught (DeTrock Kriek, Hoegarden Wit, Speciale Palm, Grimbergen Dubbel, Jupiler Pils, Guinness. Schepdall: De Rare Vos (The Rare Fox) - Brewpub Draft lambic/gueze (makes their own kriek) in stoneware jugs. Westvleteren: St. Sixtus - ; B-8983 () Brewery, abbey. Rich Trappist ales, "Prior", "Pater", and "Abt", referring to the three different styles. Not quite as common as Chimay, but still easy to find all over Belgium. BERMUDA Sandys: Somerset Country Squire - 10 Mangrove Bay Rd Pub. 3 draft beers Woody's - Boaz Island Pub Charing Cross Tavern - Somerset Village Pub Loyalty Inn - Pub Hamilton: The Docksider - 123 Front St Pub with several UK beers.

CANADA Alberta -- Calgary: Big Rock Brewery - 6403 35th St. S.E. Microbrewery Bottlescrew Bill's Old English Pub - 1st St. & 10 Ave. SW Pub at 10th Avenue and First Street. It is next door to Buzzards Wine Bar. Big Rock beers on draught. Large selection of beers. Brewsters Brewpub and Bresserie - 834 11 Ave SW Brewpub Restaurant I didn't try their lager, but I did do their Pale, Red and Brown Ales. The Pale Ale was a bit disappointing. It didn't seem to have much taste, although that may have been due to the very low temperature it was served at (ice cold). The Red was a lot more interesting, a nice, full-bodied and fairly strong red ale. Nice color, good head, nice odor. I had the Brown last, and only half a pint. While it was certainly no Newcastle Brown, it was still quite good, although it, too, didn't have as much taste as I would have liked. Buzzard's Cafe Pub in downtown Calgary. Has its own ale, contract brewed by Big Rock. "My favorite so far has been the Buzzards Breath Ale available at Buzzard's Cafe, downtown." Unicorn Pub in downtown Calgary. Also has contract brewed "One Horn Ale" Alberta -- Edmonton: Boccalino Pasta Bistro - 10525 Jasper Ave. Restaurant Strathcona Brewing Co Microbrewery British Columbia -- Comox: Leeward Brewpub - 649 Anderton Road. Brewpub British Columbia -- Nelson: Nelson Brewing Co., The Microbrewery British Columbia -- Richmond: Steveston Brewing Co. - 3131 Chatham. Microbrewery British Columbia -- Saaichton: Praire Inn Cottage Brewery Brewpub British Columbia -- Sechelt: Sunshine Coast Brewers Microbrewery British Columbia -- Vancouver: Fogg'n'Sudds - ; Restaurant This would be a bistro/pub anywhere else, but the quirky licensing laws in B.C. mean that the place has to have a restaurant license, which in turn means that it is mandatory to order food. The menu is casual, pub- grub in style, things like chicken wings and chili, burgers and fries, and the beer selection is extensive. It is also not cheap, what with B.C. taxes on on-premises consumption. Still, it's worthwhile for those who wish to order from a good selection of Canadian microbrews. There's more than one in Vancouver, and there's also one in Victoria. Grandview Brewmasters Ltd Brew-on-premises Granville Island Brewing - 1441 Cartwright Street; Microbrewery This micro is in the Granville Island Public Market complex, and gives tours. It's changed hands at least once in its short history, but still adheres to its basic charter of German-style lagers, a 'light', a Pilsner, and a dark beer. Widely available on draught and in bottles. Horseshoe Brewery and Troller Pub - 6695 Nelson Ave. (W. Vancouver). Brewpub Closed - OUT OF BUSINESS. Marpole Brewmasters Ltd Brew-on-premises Shaftebury Brewing Co. Microbrewery British Columbia -- Vernon: Okanagan Spring Brewery Ltd. - P.O. Box 1660. Microbrewery Good range of top-fermented beers, also available across the border in the States. The dark wheat beer is quite good, among the better offerings of their range. British Columbia -- Victoria: Bulldof Restaurant (local microbrewed beer) RG's Bar and Grill Bar (local microbrewed beer) Rusty Gull, The Bar (local microbrewed beer) Rose and Thorne Bar (local microbrewed beer) Spinnaker's Brew Pub - 308 Catherine St; V9A 3S8 (303)447-0816 Pub "The only pub in Vince Cottone's book on Pacific Northwest microbrews to rate four stars (the maximum).

Microbrewery Nova Scotia -- Halifax: Ginger's Tavern - 1268 Holla St. Brewpub, also called Oranite Brewery Granite Brewery - 1222 Barrington St.; (902)423-5660 They have three house products, a stout, a "Peculiar", and a lager. Didn't have the stout but the other two were excellent. The Peculiar is NOT a clone of Old Peculier, but still very nice. The owner/brewmaster told me that he trained at the Ringwood Brewery in England. Also, he does not stock ANY imports because he cannot guarantee that they will arrive in good condition and he refuses to sell substandard product! That's integrity! Atmosphere is very nice, and the place gets crowded at mealtimes, so come early." > Ontario -- Arnprior: Madawaska Tavern Ontario -- Bowmanville: Flying Dutchman Hotel/Lighthouse Brewpub Brewpub Ontario -- Brampton: Great Lakes Brewing Co. Microbrewery York Brewery Microbrewery Ontario -- Brampton: Houston Track Ontario -- Brantford: Bixel Brewing Co Microbrewery Ontario -- Burlington: Burlington Brewing Co. Microbrewery - Closed! Suds International Brewpub Ontario -- Carleton Place: Hart Breweries Ltd Microbrewery. "Their Hart Amber Ale is a truly excellent highly hopped British style ale. The taste is complex, with a bit of caramel and a slight hint of roasted grains (there is a trace of chocolate malt in the recipe). The hop nose is very fresh, and the bitterness is perfect. This one is best on draught, the bottled stuff (which is only available in eastern Ontario to my knowledge) tends to be a bit overhopped. They also manufacture Dragons Breath Pale Ale, by and agreement with The Kingston Brewing Company (q.v.). This is available in bars and restaurants in the Ottawa/Kingston area on tap, and in bottles in local Brewers' Retail stores." > Ontario -- Collingwood: Creemore Springs Brewery Microbrewery Ontario -- Creemore: Creemore Springs Brewery Microbrewery "Just a comment on their big product, Creemore lager. This stuff is simply divine on a good day, but their bottled product has had its ups and downs." > Ontario -- Etobicoke: Marconi's Steak and Pasta House Ontario -- Guelph: Wellington County Brewery, Ltd. - 551 Clair Rd West; (519)822-1834 Microbrewery forty miles west of Toronto.

"Said to be the best place for imported beers in Southern Ontario. I certainly had some nice stuff there. 130 imported beers including E.K.U. 28, Traquair House, and St. Sebastian. Also a selection of Single Malt Scotches, and imported vodkas. Not a cheap place to drink, but you won't find these in any stores in this part of the world!" > Ontario -- Heidelberg: Heidelberg Hotel - P.O. Box 116. Brewpub Ontario -- Kingston: Kingston Brewing Co. - 34 Clarence Street. Brewpub "This was Ontario's first brewpub to open. They sell a cask-conditioned and hand-pumped Ale (called Dragon's Breath, not to be confused with the D.B. Pale Ale) which tends IMHO to be a bit weak on body and too strong in fruity notes. Their Lager is good, if unremarkable. They also sell the D.B. Pale Ale, which was made by Hart to their recipe." > Pilot House, The Pub / restaurant. "Corner of Kingand Johnson Streets. A good selection of draft imports, but the best thing about this place is the real "neighborhood pub" feel. My British friends tell me it is exactly like their old "local" at home." > Wellington, The Pub / restaurant. "Wellington Street between Princess and Queen. Good food, British ale on draft, perhaps the best pint of draft Guinness in Kingston. Live music from time to time, folk, jazz and country usually." > Ontario -- Kirkland Lake: Kirkland Lake Bavarian Tavern & Bernies Brewpub.

These are, respectively, fine examples of amber ale, oatmeal stout, lightly flavored pale ale and American brown ale. The Griffon pale is not hoppy enough for my tastes and may well have been made with some corn." Molson Breweries - ; (514)521-1786 Brewery.

IRELAND Dublin: Blue Light Pub. This is way up the Dublin mountains. Best reached by car but there is a bus service. Grubby pub, so so pint. Fabulous view of the city lights from the carpark, where most drinking is done. Worth a detour on your way home from the mountains. Brazen Head Pub directly across the road from O'Sheas. A mixture of trendies and visitors congregate to hear the varied types of music on offer here in Dublin's oldest pub (trad/ballads/folk/light jazz). Impromptue sessions in the front bar. Pleasant to drink in the courtyard on a nice summer evening. Club Conradh - Harcourt St Pub. Downstairs from the Conradh na Gaeilge offices and bookshop. Irish speakers congregate here. Grafton Pub areas. Loads of pubs here just like the rest of dublin. Tend to be busy, convivial athmosphere, younger people. Better ones are Mc Daids and Keoghs. Harcourt Hotel, The - Harcourt St Pub. They have traditional sessions - well mini-concerts really - on monday nights. Cover charge #3. Might be worth it if you want guaranteed music on a monday night. Hughes - Chancery St Pub. Trad music most nights, sometimes a second session in the front snug. Set dancing on Wednesdays. Visiting musicians probably welcome, but test the water on the night. It's the local for many regulars. Lady Gregory, The - Jervis St Pub. Good trad music most nights. Not crowded. Pity about the blue-tinted lighting which gives the place a cold feel. A friendly pub otherwise. Mulligans - Poolbeg St Pub. (Withing spitting distance of The Palace.) Good pint. Lots of old wood. Athmosphere. Characters. Try them. No music. Nesbit's Pub. For those who know Guinness, it is my opinion that the best is to be got in Nesbit's, my local, which has won an award for quality three years in succession from the brewery. Next time any of you State-siders are in town drop in there. O'Donoghues - Baggot St Pub. The guide books all mention it. It is much too full to be enjoyable. The barmen stand _on_ the bar not behind it. If you must see it, do so after the lunchtime rush and before the early evening crowd arrive. My advice is to give it a skip. O'Neills - Suffolk St Pub. Don't ever arrange to meet someone here :-) Has about 6 separate little bars/nooks/crannies/snugs/lounges. Interesting, busy, but with quiet corners. O'Sheas Merchant - ?? quay Pub just across the river from Hughes. Music and set dancing most nights. Nice athmosphere, but they take their music and dancing seriously. If you cant do a set this is not the place to learn! Palace - Fleet St Pub. (Withing spitting distance of Mulligans.) Good pint. Lots of old wood. Athmosphere. Characters. Try them. No music. Slatterys - Capel St Pub. In all the guide books - overrated I think. Can get very crowded. Trad music and sets most nights. Occasional sessions in the afternoons. If it's crowded, try one of the previous three pubs - they are all within staggering distance. Stags Head - Dame St Pub off Dame St. Popular with students and visitors. Slightly arty/bohemian athmosphere. Great for a pint outside on a pleasant evening. JAPAN Tokyo: The Beer House - Beer Store. Submitted to Guinness as selling "the most kinds of beer in the world". 850 beers. NETHERLANDS Amsterdam: Bier Koning - ; Beer Store A specialty store, devoted to Dutch and Belgian beers (and the occasional exotic specialty). Good place for the hard-to-find Dutch microbrews, like beers from Brouwerij t'Ij, or Buorrenbier from Friesland. Brouwerij t'Ij - ; Microbrewery Unusual microbrewery, making old-fashioned beers, nothing like Heineken or Amstel products. Dark and tasty ales, including Natte and Zatte. Gollem Cafe - Raamsteeg; Pub. Specialty cafe with a wide selection on tap, including lots of Belgian beers. Vast selection of bottled beers, Dutch, Belgian, German, and others. Besides the beer, also serves as a social focus; one flyer mentioned a trip to a Belgian abbey brewery, another one featured a tour to Antwerp. Get one of their beer-menus as a souvenir. Het Laatste Ordeel - Raadhuisstraat; Pub. Pilsner Urquell and Budvar are among the offereings on tap here, when they can get it from the distributor. The range from both tap and bottle is vast, comparable to the Gollem Cafe. Both the Laatste Ordeel and the Gollem are fine examples of the Amsterdam-style of pub, what is called a 'bruine kroegje', or brown cafe. Not real big, but perfectly comfortable. Het Oude Gekroonde - ; Beer Store. Big selection of specialty beers from Dutch and Belgian brewers. Abbey ales, brown ales, seasonal brews, Belgian 'Scotch' ales, microbrews, and lambics (inluding Cantillon!), among others. 1001 Bieren - Huidenstraat Beer store on Huidenstraat between Keizersgracht and Herengracht. They have an enormous selection of beers and specialize in Belgian beers.

They (of course) have Guinness on tap along with all of the Birmingham Brewing Company's Red Mountain beers. Joe Bar - 2833 Seventh Ave South Bar Alabama -- Huntsville: Finnegan's - 3310 Memorial Parkway SW Pub. It is owned and run by Ellen McAnallay who came here from Galway, Ireland. They have delicious nitrogen-dispensed draught Guinness as well as a number of bottled beers (including Birmingham Brewing's Red Mountain Red Ale). They have a piano and someone often plays with the regulars singing along. They serve food during lunch (soup and any leftovers at night) and have tournament quality dart boards. It would make a wonderful addition to the list I think. Alaska -- Anchorage: Yukon Brewing Co.

Tyndall Ave; 85719 (602)624-4177 Brewpub Ben's is one of the oldest campus-area bars, and was just recently acquired by a microbrewer from California. They tapped their first batches about 2 months ago ... an ale and two lagers as I recall. All barely potable. Give them another year to get their brewing act together ... however, Ben's always has some other excellent brews on tap, for example the Anchor Xmas Ale. San Francisco Bar and Grill Brewpub - 3922 N. Oracle; 85705 (602)292-2233 Brewpub Shanty, The - 9th St. and 4th Ave. Bar The Shanty has Bass, Guiness and Harp (and Miller Blite) on tap, and typically carries around 200 bottled beers from around the world. It's an old [by Tucson standards: over 50 years] and substantial bar with a pleasant outdoor patio and usually a healthy range of attractive women to ponder. On the downside, they charge too much, they won't let you buy anything but Blite by the pitcher, and they cut you off at five. Z's pizza - 6th St. Restaurant just south of campus on 6th St. has the best tap selection in town (Anchor wheat, steam and porter (incidently they sold the most Anchor Xmas in town (5 kegs) they also have about 5 more taps with English and German beer including a new Welsh brew and many other rotating brews). The prices are also quite good (~2.50 for a pint, under 5 for a pitcher of the top beers). Finally, the pizza is the best deep dish in town.

Name as yet unknown Bison Brewery - 2598 Telegraph Ave; 93705 (415)841-7734 Brewpub "Two sides of the restaurant area are all windows (high!), stainless steel vats with some galvanized box on a pulley! This was a Sunday evening and area didn't look especially upscale, but it didn't look bad either. I have since received two comments that I am lucky to have survived walking into here wearing a suit. The both suggested that this was heavily populated by leather/biker types, although I didn't see any. The clientelle looked like a typical campus crowd. Honey-Basil Ale and Double-bock. Also Red Hook Beers." I reported this in early '90 and have got responses that this has changed for the better: "It's now a pretty standard college crowd. The beers vary widely. These people have fun with their brewing, and try wildly original experiments with almost every batch, somehow keeping the quality up. Last time I stopped in they were serving an "Irish Potato Stout", the mash for which included a bunch of instant mashed potatoes. Surprisingly good. I work in Oakland most of the time these days, staying in that neighborhood (which is most decidedly not upscale, as you noticed) and using the Bison as my "local"."

Several excellent beers; they also usually have a specialty brew available. The selection varies, but they always have at least an amber and a dark. Recommended!" "The TR appears to be 3 blocks North of the main drag (University) on the West side of the street. A nice place with a "campus" feel to it. The bartender was friendly, and knew lots of the people by name. They didn't sell sampler sized but he let me taste everything in 2-3 oz glasses. Red Rock Ale Little head and not highly carbonated. Authentic real ale hop taste and a good hoppy aftertaste. Good red-copper color. I would rate this in the 40's! Pinnacle Pale Ale Pale but not blond beer with just a little head. Not as much hop taste as Red Rock, but a nice sharp aftertaste. The aftertaste was almost metallic but stopping on the pleasant sharp side. Someone else might not care for the aftertaste. Rock of the Nile They claimed this was Black Rock with less of the burnt roast malt - 5% alcohol. I found it too burnt and coaly, especially after the Red Rock. Red Rock Porter This tasted to me like Rock of the Nile! Still Burnt and roasty. Total for 3 beers (small size - 1/2 pint?) plus tips $6. Bought a t-shirt for $13 which turned out to be very nice."

The pub looked nice but I didn't have time for a beer. The beer is very good; they make a Porter, an Amber, a light beer, and a wheat beer which I haven't tried. The others are all excellent, especially the porter - dark and smooth, almost creamy, yum yum! Their beer is available all over the Bay Area in bottles. I highly recommend it."

Pale Ale, Porter, and Stout are available all year; a new Bock, SN's first bottom-fermented beer, appeared in spring of 1990, with a repeat showing in spring of 1991; and in winter, the powerful, aromatic Bigfoot barleywine appears, ready to challenge all comers.

"Goodbody's is a cozy "Irish" pub with excellent Irish and British dishes plus 106 different beers. It's probably one of the friendliest places in Fresno.

Fullerton Hofbrau - 327 State College Blvd; 92631 (714)870-7400 Pub Restaurant "This place was more of a restaurant with a bar than a pub. They ordinarily have 4 brews, which are Knight's Light, Prince's Pilsner, King's Lager, and Duke's Bock. Prince's Pilsner was very light - it was pretty close to Miller Lite. King's Lager was a decent beer - worth trying, but nothing special. The bock, however, was excellent - I wish I could have taken some home with me. (I was told that they would have gallon boxes of beer to tkae home in the near future, but I missed it.)" California -- Hayward: Buffalo Bill's - 1082 B Street; 94541 (415)886-9823.

"Their Earthquake Pale Ale had no head to speak of but combined some nice malt and very hoppy bouquet. The Seismic ale was very fruity and harked back to some of the Lambics. It was made using some wild NY yeasts. The earthquake porter had its taste softened a touch by the coffee and chocolate complexities brought to the roasted malts. The Kit Fox Amber had a fruity aroma, medium body, no head but was a nice hop and malt blend. Now, the Cherry Ale was a definite throwback to the Belgian styles with serious cherry in the bouquet and the taste but was an interesting addition to the four other offerings."

So far, I've tasted their Albion Amber (very good medium bodied beer), Hefe Weiss (exceptionally creamy --how do they do that?-- an unfiltered. Served sometimes with a slice of lemon), Raspberry Trail Ale (light ale with raspberry aftertaste, good for hot days), and Pale Ale (very close to Sierra Nevada; seemed to be a little heavier on the hops). Along with the great beer is great food and entertainment. If anyone is passing by Larkspur (north of Sausalito, south of San Rafael), swing by Larkspur Landing for a pint." California -- Lebec: Lebek's Okie Girl - 658 Lebec Road; 93243 (805)248-6451. Brewpub, formerly Grapevine Brewery. On I-5 a couple of hours N of LA. Home-cooked food, 4 beers, lager, ale, ESB, stout. Homey atmosphere. California -- Livermore: De Kavalier Pub & Grill - 3004 Pacific Ave Pub next door to Mrs. Coffee. Belgian Beer and Flanders Ales! John Perkins Wine Merchant - 849 E. Stanley Blvd; (415) Restaurant Mrs. Coffee & Bistro - 3004 Pacific Ave; 94550 (415)449-1988 Restaurant at Nob Hill Shopping Center.

California -- Los Altos: Draeger's Mkt - 342 1st St Beer Store California -- Los Angeles: Ye Olde Kings Head - Santa Monica and 2nd Restaurant. Has a good selection of draft English beers and great fish & chips. Barney's Beanery - 8447 Santa Monica Blvd; (213)654-2287. Restaurant West Hollywood has a big selection, but the obscure ones are old. Famous for its chili. Belmont Brewing Company - 25 39th Place; (310)433-3891 Brewpub. Belmont is located at the foot of the Belmont Pier in Long Beach. They have good food and reasonable prices. The location is great for watching the sun set. The beers they have vary, but they usually have a Pale Ale, Amber Ale and Porter or Stout. The first time I went there the beer seemed a little on the malty side and not very well hopped. Since then I think they have lightened up their beers to suit the lo-cal/light tastes of the average Southern Californian. Pints are $2.50. Belmont Shores: Belmont; 25 39th Place (213)433-3891 Same as above? Beverage Warehouse Beer Store - look at entry under Mar Vista Billabong - is on the same block on North Fairs Oaks. Cat'n'The Fiddle - on Sunset in Hollywood, Chicago Pizza Works - Pico near Barrington Restaurant "makes the only thick crust pizza I can eat more than one slice of and has a very good selection of bottled beers." Duke of Bourbon - Canoga Park Wine Store in Canoga Park. Their address is in the book. One of the owners is on the board of the Wine Spectator publications, and they have always recommended fantastic wines to us. Gorky's Russian - 536 East 8th. 90014 (213)627-4060 Brewpub - Closing, Feb 1992 Heritage Brewing Co. - 24921 Dana Point Harbor Rd; 92629 (714)240-2060. Brewpub located down by Dana Point harbor and is a considerable distance from downtown LA. They had some of the best beer I have tasted. They make a Pale Ale that is very well hopped and it reminded me of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I don't know too much about the food there. Lantern Bay Blonde, Sail Ale, Dana Porter. They are (late '93) going to a full-scale microbrewery operation John Bull Pub - 958 S Fair Oaks Ave (818)441-4353 Pub (Fair Oaks south from 210, or turn left off the end of the Pasadena fwy 2 blocks to Fair Oaks right). No microbrewed beer. Loch Ness Monster Pub - 66 N Fair Oaks Ave; (818)795-2160 Pub. It is in the back corner of a parking lot at the corner. Recently (Nov 92) reopened after some problems Los Angeles - 1845 South Bundy (213)207-1000 Pub in West Los Angeles. Used to make Eureka beer (actually a nice lager). Latest word is that the brewery will close and the pub stay open (6/20/92). Los Angeles/Melrose Avenue Brewpub? Molly Malone's on Fairfax near Sunset in Hollywood. Pub Pickwick's Pub - on Ventura Blvd near De Soto Pub. They used to serve Theakston's Best Bitter, Old Peculier, and a host of other good British ales. They also have pub food for lunches but not dinners. (And if you get truly homesick, there's the Cambridge Cupboard next door, a shop that sells British imports such as candy bars, vinegar chips, and magazines. Robin Hood's Tavern - Burbank and Woodman Pub, with another good selection of English Beers; bring your darts. Truly Yours - 18588 Ventura Blvd Pub in Tarzana (another at 9725 Reseda Blvd in Northridge) Good food, Anchor Steam and Red Tail Victor Sales & Marketing - 4510 S. Boyle Ave; 90058 Importer of Red Brew-Star, a Yugoslavian beer. Wine House - Cotner Beer Store on the West side, near Sepulveda blvd. between Olympic & Pico. They have good wine, good cognacs, a temperature-controlled room full of rarities, great champagnes, and interesting spirits. They keep the lights dimmed in the beer area, and don't put too many bottles out), you often can get reasonable beer. I've gotten Sierra Nevada clean enough to culture the yeast, and others report doing so with Chimay... California -- Los Gatos: Black Watch Pub Hannigans Pub. A pub atmosphere, but it's a single malt lover's paradise! The last time I was there (2 or 3 years ago), they had 85 (counting different ages of a single label) different single malts. As I recall, they had some pretty decent imported beers on tap as well, but with all that scotch to choose from, I couldn't find the time to sample the beer. Prices at that time ranged from 2.50 to 12.50 for a very generous pour. The guy that took me there told me they also conduct tastings. Los Gatos Brewing Co - ; (408)395-9929 Brewpub opened in 1992. Good Beer, good food. Pacific Wine & Spirits - 410 N Santa Cruz Liquor Store just South of San Jose (8 miles?). The Southern Alameda County Distributors recommended this place, but it had significantly less than any of the other stores I tried. California -- Los Olivos: Firestone Brewing Co Microbrewery kind of - non-alcoholic beer?

Highland Ave; 90266 (310)545-1148 Brewpub. The Brewhouse Grill people just opened (11/7/92) a second brewpub in Manhattan Beach, just a couple blocks from the Manhattan Beach Brewing company. Until they get the brewery going, they're importing their beer from the Santa Barbara location and making some beer on a contract basis at Alpine Village, so it's too early to comment on the quality of the place. The location, however, is great; they're 2 blocks from the beach and they have large glass windows overlooking the the coast, perfect for watching the sunset. California -- Mar Vista: Beverage Warehouse - 4935 McConnell; (310)306-2822 Liquor Store. (I think this is on the corner of Culver Blvd and McConnell. "They have a very good selection of domestic micros and interesting imports albeit stored in the varm LA air under the fluorescents.") "Many types of keg beer, stored and sold COLD. Also has a great selection of liquors (I counted 15 types of Single Malt Scotch). Not a volume discount place, but generally good prices." California -- Menlo Park: Beltramos - 1540 El Camino Real; (408) Liquor Store in Menlo Park. More of a wine store, but still a lot of beer. Lots of single malts also (too bad my budget was running short, because single-malts are not well represented in Dallas. 20-30 brands, maybe, but I say 30 in Beltramos that I have only read about.) Draegers - 1010 University; (408) Liquor Store California -- Milbrea: K&L Wine & Liquor - 231 El Camino Real; (408) Liquor Store California -- Mill Valley: Mountain Home Inn - 810 Panoramic Highway; 94941 (415)381-9000.

Orangeburg #35 Pub California -- Monterey: Monterey Brewing - 638 Wade St; 93940 (408)375-3634 Brewpub in the Cannery Row district of Monterey. "It is a small stand-alone building and a night time rock and roll bar. It featured a pale ale that was very hoppy. Their Amber was a wonderful brew of roasted and had a hint of caramel flavor. Their porter was nearly opaque and the malt flavor practically separated in your mouth for easy evaluation. Wonderful!" (Not damaged by recent earthquake.) California -- Morgan Hill: El Toro Brewing Microbrewery Let's Brew - 16965 Monterey Rd Pub Restaurant and Homebrew shop. "I was there last August to buy beer making supplies and found their beer selection enormous. However, many are quite expensive, in the range of 4 to 6 bucks a bottle (ouch). But the prices of the more familiar imports is in line with most places. Certainly is a place to find the very exotic." California -- Mountain View: Fogg's - 303 Bryant St; (415)390-9696 Bar. Casual 'locals' bar which may be a little busy. At least 80 imported beers in stock. Drafts included Pilsner Urquell, Guinness, Bass, Sierra Nevada. Tied House - 954 Villa St.; 94041 (415)965-2739. Brewpub with food (supposedly good!) "Yuppie to the core, too much so for my taste. First time I went the beer was mediocre, since then it's been much better. They have a light, amber and dark all the time, and one or 2 specialty brews that vary. The light's too light for me, and the amber is pretty light too. The dark is what I would call an amber; both the amber and dark are OK, but unmemorable." I on the other hand (JRM) found it very interesting. While not great they had 8 very distinct brews. Worth a trip for the variety. California -- Murphys: Murphys Creek Brewing Co - ; 95247 (209)736-2739 Brewpub opened in 1993 California -- Napa: Brown Street - 1300 Brown St; 94559 (707)255-6392.

Nevada City Brew, 14 British Draught Beers. Nevada City Brewing Co. - 75 Bost Ave; 95959 (916)265-2446. Microbrewery. Brewery Tours Sat & Sun 1-5PM. "I stopped for a tour of the Nevada City Brewing Company The brewery is run by Gene Downing, owner, with the help of his "Brew Rats." The "Brew Rats" must be paid minimum wage plus all the beer they can drink, because I didn't see an empty glass (including mine) all the time I was there. Gene brews lagers, exclusively. His two standards are a light lager, called "Gold" and a brown lager, "Dark", both hopped with Cascade. He also brews up occasional batches of bock. He has two 400 gal stainless steel, refrigerant jacketed, primary fermenters, and six lagering tanks of similar volume. His production is about 600 gallons a week - about 60% of it going out in barrels to several local pubs with the remainder bottled in magnum (1.5 liter) champagne bottles. If you're on Route 80 near 49 and feel like talking beer and trash, its a good stop. From 49 you take the Ridge Road exit, turn left and go back over the freeway, take the first right which is Bost Avenue. The brewery is in a warehouse-type complex about three blocks down Bost, next to a nude furniture place. I think the "tours" are after 3 PM, only."

It has taken the path to long-term success (I suppose) by catering to the yuppie crowd, and their market research must have worked, because the place is always crowded. The beer isn't bad, but it's a little lacking in character. A glass wall separates the dining area and brewery, where the tanks and other equipment are visible." "Out of all of the brewpubs and microbreweries I've been to, he has the most outstanding beers. When we were there they had 7! Including 2 wheat beers. All were GREAT.

They typically have 13 <16> brews on tap, usually 6-8 of which are local microbrews, e.g., try the blue whale ale or devil's brew stout. They also have about 50 microbrews in bottles, not to mention other hard to find imports and fun things like soki. Very trendy Haight-esque crowd which seems uninterested in the amazing selection - wear black if you want to fit in." Also 85 beers in bottles.

They have three beers, Marzen, Dunkles, and Export (they alternate between Dunkles and Double Bock) and good food. Marzen - Gold/copper color with reasonable head. Dry astringent taste, with the aftertaste prickly on the edges and a slightly sour (wheat?) taste. Normal body. Nice. I would give this a 37. Dunkles - Dark enough so you can barely see through (reminded me of Newcastle Brown in color). Aroma has roast malt, some hops (couldn't recognise what kind). There was a husky-grainy taste. Sweet wort taste changing to an astringent grain in the aftertaste. I would think this a little flawed and rate it 30-32. Of course, what real style is "dunkles"? Export - paler in color than the sample I got of 'export'. Light aroma*. Sweet clean taste. This is a beer to drink for a long time. Good body and almost a mouthfilling sense, but a little fizzy. Not much aftertaste.

Brewpub - Supposed to have closed in late '93 "They have three brews, a pale ale, an amber ale, and a stout. For $2.50, you can get a "sampler", a small glass of each ale. Operated by a Chinese family so food is Chinese influenced. Their beers are not hearty--rather thin, but their Pale Ale is the hoppiest beer around. Their "Porter" is so thin that light can shine through it." "Their ales were not the best, but the pale ale was very nice. Good food (Havana beef!)"

"This place had the best atmosphere of the pubs I went to - as soon as you walk in you are almost overwhelmed by the sweet smell of wort. Homebrewer's heaven - it smelled like a brewery in there! I believe that they also had the standard three choices - pale, amber, or porter. All I can say about these beers is that they are made for true hopheads, which, I've observed, most homebrewers are, but unfortunately I am not." Pub food - burgers, chili, BBQ.

"best pizza at a brewpub I've ever had", "Had a pint of pale ale and a pint of kolsch. Both were pretty dry (like Stoddard's) but fuller bodied and good hop taste but would be unsatisfying if you are a hop head (like I am sometimes).

California -- Santa Barbara: The Brewhouse Grill - (805) Brewpub Restaurant? "My wife and I went to this one a couple of times and I think we agreed that this was the best pub we visited, considering every aspect. We only sampled two beers there - pale ale and amber ale, as their stout wasn't available. As usual, the pale ale was too weak and thin to be interesting, but the amber ale was excellent."

Brewpub "It a nice western pub atmosphere, good bar food and Lighthouse Lager. Although it was slightly cloudy and the slightest yeast and dyacitil in the taste, I rated it a 40. The Lighthouse Amber had a perfect copper color and loses a point on body but has terrific drinkability. Their Pacific Porter was a sterling application of roasted malt. They had bottles to go." Live Soup Brewery & Cafe - 1602 Ocean Street; (408)458-3461 Brewpub to open in August Sea Bright Brewing Company - 519 Sea Bright; 95062 (408)426-2739. Brewpub. This was a more modern type of a well lit bar and seemed to cater to a young crowd. I tried their sampler which included Pelican Ale, a hoppy ale with a rocky head and wonderful aftertaste. The Sea Bright Amber was unfiltered and therefore a touch cloudy and yeasty but while the hops dominated the aroma, the taste was more balanced. Their Batman's Best Bitter was crystal clear, a bit weak on body but the final rating was identical to the Amber. They also had Kangaroo Pale Ale which contains only 1.5% alcohol. It was maltier, sweet, had a slight green apple smell and taste and wasn't a great beer. (Survived recent earthquake without major damage.) California -- Santa Monica: Father's Office - 1018 Montana Ave; 90403 (310)393-2337. Pub. Up to 31 beers on tap!

They have a small but great selection of beer on tap, including the best Guinness in town, Ballard Bitter, and if you're lucky, Young's Special London Ale. They also carry several of the micro and pub brewed beers from the area. If you like Irish folk music, be sure to go there Friday or Saturday night. Liquor Mart - 1750 15th St; (303)449-3374 Beer Store is another 30 or so miles north (of Denver?), in Boulder. If you don't care about the distance, it is *well worth* the drive! Liquor Mart in Boulder usually has over 200 different beers in stock - selection varies as availability varies. There's always something good on sale there. Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery - 1535 Pearl St. Brewpub - We were there when they opened, but they weren't brewing yet (other than test batches) at the '93 GABF. Still, about 12 microbrewed beers. Oasis - 11th & Canyon Brewpub New, across from the library. Even more upscale than the Walnut. Four beers available: pale ale, bitter, brown ale, stout. All are okay, none are remarkable. Also does a Sunday brunch and during the week (can't remember the day(s)) they have a pasta special. Old Chicago Bar & Restaurant - 1102 Pearl St; (303)443-5031 Pub Restaurant. 114 Beers, 14 on tap.

AKA Boulder Beer Co Walnut Brewery - 1123 Walnut; 80202 (303)447-1345 Brewpub in downtown Boulder, upscale. The beers are all well made, generously hopped, in good balance, and clean. The beers I tasted: Buffalo Gold - about MoR in what's become a typical west-coast style pale ale, with just the right amount of the obligatory Cascades in the finish. Big Horn Bitter - serious bitter amber ale. Nice body, drier than the Gold but still an interesting finish. Old Elk Brown Ale - light brown, reminiscent of a dark Munich lager with ale character laid on top. Devil's Thumb Stout - very dry, substantial stout. May have a bit too much dark roast; I'll have to retaste this one but I'm looking forward to it. Beers I didn't taste: Swiss Trail Wheat Ale and The James Irish Red Ale.

Very good selection also, but I buy mostly wine at this place. North on Colorado Blvd from Arrow several miles, west (left) on Colfax several more miles, then it's on the left. Sorry to be so vague about the distances. If you get to Broadway or the Capitol building, you've gone too far. To get out of there, follow colfax west to I-25. This is much faster than going back to Colorado Blvd. but it's easy to get lost here and find yourself on 15th. If that happens, turn left at any opportunity, which will get you back to colfax, or if you hit Speer, take that north to I-25. I hope you have a map if you venture into Denver! Arrow - Colorado Blvd North Beer Store. This is where I go to stock up on Chimay, since they seem to sell lots of it, and have the freshest available for the best price. They have a large array of beers from all over the world. I-25 north from Colorado Springs to Colorado Blvd north, then it's on your right pretty soon. This one is definitely the easiest to get to from Colorado Springs. Applejack - Beer Store in Golden. Also a great selection, but optional if the others satisfied you, since this one is a bit out of the way. Fantastic wine selection. I-25 north to I-70 west about 5 or 10 miles to Youngfield exit; go left under bridge, then left at light, then right into parking lot. Boiler Room - 901 Larimer; (303)893-5733 Bar? Bonnie Brae - 785 S. University; (303)733-7261 Beer Store just North of I-25 on University. They have an equally large selection with generally greater quantities Bonnie Brae has shopping carts which helped and prices were reasonable. Chambers Wine & Liquor - Beer Store just a little east of Denver in Aurora? These both have great import selections and prices that blow away Bonnie Brae. Champion Brewery Brewpub (In the downtown area) opened late 1991. Cherry Cricket - 2641 E 2 Ave; (303)322-7666 Bar? County Line Liquors - County Line Road Beer Store. If I remember correctly, you would get off I-25 (northbound) at County Line Road, and head west. Far west; almost out of Denver. The store is next to an Albertson's, and by the time you reach it you'll be beginning to think you'll hit the mtns first.

Their wine selection stinks, but they have a great big walk-in refridgerated beer section, with lots of interesting stuff. From Colfax or Speer (or Colorado Blvd, I think) take I-25 south to University Ave south. I don't know how far it is, and don't even have a good idea how far it is. The store is in a big corner shopping center. Sorry about being so vague again, but my sense of distance is not very good. Wynkoop Brewing Co. - 163418th; 80202 (303)297-2700 Brewpub at 18th and Wynkoop. They're right across the street from Union Station in Denver. There is a sister brewpub to Wynkoop in Ft. Collins. On Friday at 6:30 pm it was Yuppie Happy Hour Heaven. Saturday at 11am, we had half of the 100 feet of bar to ourselves and got a sampler of Wilderness Wheat, Jed Fest beer, their IPA, St. Charles ESB, Marks Mild and Sagebrush Stout. All were excellent and, in general, better than some of the California brew pub beer I've tried. They do not have C02 driven taps; they have have the English pull-pump handles! The difference in the freshness of the beer and the carbonation behavior were astounding and the closest thing to English Real Ale in this country. They sell the beer in gallon boxes for takeout but plan on drinking it fast. It loses a bit as it travels. They have a dinner area upstairs. This place is good! The brewery has just bought the entire building they are in and are in the process of adding a pool hall, more dining, and condos on the floors above the brewery. In the basement is a separate jazz club (Jazz Works) has been open for a number of years. They are opening a pool/darts area one floor up. Zang Brewing Co - 2301 7th; (303)455-2500 Pub?

Connecticut -- West Hartford: Hartford Brewery Brewpub Delaware -- Christiana: Peddler's Pub Pub reputed to have the best selection of beer in Delaware. Delaware -- Greenville: No Name - Route 52 Wine Store. The only reasonable wine selection I ever came across was in Greenville, in the Greenville Shopping Center on Route 52. Even so, this store is SMALL. (Greenville, by the way, is a WEALTHY area, heavy in DuPont families, and prices are not ultra-low.)

Brickskeller - (202)293-1885 Pub Restaurant. Claims over 500 beers on the menu. Its not really this good, but it is definitely worth a visit!!! They have frequent (monthly) tastings here.

Gary Heurick is a 3rd generation brewer. His grandfather had a brewery in DC at the site of the current Kennedy Center megalith (what a waste!). Not surprisingly, the operation went under some time after Prohibition. Gary's trying to bring it back, and pushing the DC's-own-beer concept. Not bad beer, either, `Old Heurick'. Based on his grandfather's recipe, the taste and color are somewhat akin to Bass -- full-bodied, though not heavy, and a decent malt/hop aroma. Well carbonated. A good brew, but not stunning."

Authentic, elegantly- served German cuisine, comfortable setting. Three regularly-brewed lagers: Helles, Pils, and Dunkles. Helles is similar to industrial brews, light body and character. Pils is robust and redolent with hops. Dry and tasty. Dunkles is a creamy dark beer with a roast malt character." Another comment: "Currently three beers: Helles (rich, full-bodied, well-hopped), Pils (lighter, also full-bodied and very well hopped), and Dunkle (dark, full-bodied, malty). All very good, German-style beers. The guy I talked to said they are going to be offering a bock and a weizen as the seasons evolve. I've been there twice, and the character of the beer has been slightly variable, due largly to the newness of the place. Very busy on weekend evenings. Reasonably good German food, too, and all at fair prices."

Recommended by George Saxon, President of Phoenix Imports Henninger's Ale House - 1812 Bank St Brewpub ? Olivers Ales Brewpub opened 1Q93? at the corner of Sharp and Pratt streets. In the bar, is a very tasteful 5 handled beer engine. Two ales were available from the engines, but they were extremely warm at around 68F. Apparently this is a mistake as the bartender assured us that the intended temp was around 55F. Four other ales were online from kegs, a fair golden, a fair pale ale and a pretty darn good nitrogen fed stout. Some of the ales displayed the pronounced diacetyl character so prevelent in many of the breweries using the Ringwood ale yeast. PJ's Pub - 3333 N.

Cross St; 21230 (301)539-2093 Brewpub (also called South Baltimore Brewing Co.) "on East Cross Street, a few blocks from the Inner Harbor, has become the first brewpub in Maryland. Sisson's is serving golden and amberales, along with its existing list of about 60 specialty beers and a menu that features Cajun and Creole dishes and fresh seafood." Another point of view on Sisson's - "I visited there Nov 89 after reading this posting. I was *not* impressed by the beer -- certainly not enough to drive the 40 minutes it took to get there. The beer was `wimpy', lacking in any substantial body, and not real tasty. Their porter was the best of the three they had, the others being a pilsner (I think), and an amber ale. At least it had some taste, but again, a Bud had more body. Almost no hop or malt aromas either (per style). I hope they eventually get their act together and do a reasonable beer with guts and spirit."

Good selection of imports, microbrews, and contract brews...all refrigerated. Prices are not great, many of the staff are jugheads, but you can get a good sample of a good beer here. Maryland -- Bowie: Rip's - U.S. 301 at MD Route 197; (301) 262-9214 Liquor Store. Rips used to be Maryland's undisputed king of liquor stores with an outrageously excellent selection of beers and the biggest refrigerated cold room in the state. It has slipped badly in recent years. While it still has one of the very best selections of imports, its microbrew selection is beaten by almost everybody and Rips is often to slow to restock shelves on any domestic beer that doesn't have a big "A with eagle" logo. If you're in the area, it's worth stopping in to buy an import, but don't go out of your way to visit Rip's any more.

English style ale, low carbonation, nice amber color. Precious little malt/hop aroma. I didn't find it had a lot of taste, and not much body. While drinking it, I kept thinking of tap water. I describe it as `wimpy', but a friend of mine enjoys it quite a bit (he says there's lots-o-hops). The brewer is from England, and he keeps increasing the amount of carbonation from what it typical in England to what can keep Americans pacified. He also seems to be tweaking the recipe in each batch, as subsequent tastings have been different. I'd recommend drinking this beer at cellar temperature, although the label suggests drinking it cold (Americanism?)."

Excellent selection of microbrews and imports, however, the beers are often poorly handled and some care must be taken to ensure that you get the fresh sample you are paying for. Some of the very best beers are the most mishandled, for example, Sam Smith's beers were stored warm on a shelf under fluorescent lights. However, with care, you can get excellent beers at some of the cheapest prices in the area. Maryland -- Mitchellville: Rip's Country Inn Wine and Spirit Shop - 3809-3811 N.

Tours Thurs, Sat 2PM Boston Beer Works - 61 Brookline Ave; 02215 (617)536-2337 Brewpub across the street from Fenway Park "Decor was selected to attract the "in" trendy crowd. The place seems more like a restaurant that also makes its own beer than a brewery that also serves food. The menu was a little pricey for standard pub fare and the quality was a little better than average. The beer was okay. Nothing to rave about. Very inconsistent for the first 3-4 months but they seem to have it under control now. They made a great raspberry ale, but their pale ale needed alot of work." Cambridge Brewing Company - 1 Kendal Square; (617)494-1994 Brewpub (Note - this was written by a part-time bartender there) "The beer is much better than it was when we first opened. Tending bar I now hear much more of 'this is really good' than 'this is interesting'." "Solid, drinkable beers. Lighter styles are better than Commonwealth Brewery; food better also, but a smaller menu." Cardullo's - Harvard Square; (617)491-8888 Liquor Store and food emporium. Knowledgeable staff.

Two varieties in bottles: a barley wine, and something else. Also seasonal offerings, plus various blends. All beers have the nice fresh flavor you'd expect from a brewpub. The porter, formerly available only in bottles, is the best I've tasted, and is what keeps me coming back. Largish menu of average food." "I like the CBC the best. (of the 4 Boston brewpubs). Good beer, small, friendly environment. Food is secondary there. The main concern is Beer. Standards: Porter, Amber and Pale or Golden.

New York -- Ithaca: The Chapterhouse - 400 Stewart Ave; 14850 (607)277-9782 Brewpub "located on Stewart Avenue at the foot of Cornell University opened in the spring of 1989 and has been brewing 3-4 beers regularly, as well as making the extracts for very good root beers and ginger ales. On any given night, there are usually three or four beers very generally described as going from light to dark. The light is usually a superior reproduction of American Industrial "Lite", while the darker and richer beers, usually a bitter and a stout, seem well rounded and flavorful. A drawback seems to be the small size of the operation. There is little capacity to let the beer age and mellow, and we have noticed that the stout in particular is often poured 'ahead of its time', leading to a very harsh pint." New York -- Kingston: Woodstock Brewing Company - 20 St. James St; (914)331-2950 Microbrewery, 1500 barrels/year of Hudson Lager. Tours Saturdays.

Looking at their carte de bier that is sitting in front of me, I'd guess that they have over 300 beers. Two Fullers, ESB and an other, can be found on draft. This place is a bit grimey, but some might find the sawdust on the floors to be quaint." Now over 400 brews. "it effectively manages to blow away any competition, including the fames McSoreley's."

New Amsterdam Brewery - ; (212) Brewpub with its own (contract) brew. North Star pub - 93 South Street; 10038 (212)509-6757 Pub has British Ales, ... but this place is on the pricey side. If your palate yearns for a good whiskey, this is the place to go. There is an excellent selection of the Scot's whiskeys, but like everything else, you will pay dearly for them. Do you need rationalization: "One expensive taste is cheaper that the cost of a whole bottle." 50 Single Malts. "by comparison ...(to) New York ... the North Star is moderately priced. A full meal(Not just a hamburger), sans beverage, may be had for under ten dollars. ... The menu is far more extensive than Mister Kramer would lead you to believe. ... by U.S. standards (especially NYC, ed.) $4.75 for a pint of well kept Fuller's E.S.B. or London Pride. Young's Best Bitter, Newcastle Brown, and the other beers maintained by the North StarUs staff is not exorbitant. I would emphasize that the beers here are well kept as I have had the misfortune of paying comparable prices at other pubs or restaurants on this side of the Atlantic only to find the beer oxidized beyond recognition." (Fr Larry McCormick ) Old New York Brewing Co., Inc. - 610 W. 26th St. Peculier Pub, The - Bleecker St; (212) Pub "Is alive and well, and in new and much larger quarters on Bleecker near LaGuardia Place (between 6th and Bway). If you find yourself in NYC and are looking for a fine beer selection, try it out." "The Peculiar Pub is so popular that one normally has to stand on line you get in. The claim is that this place is the oldest operating pub in the city. (wow!) They have a large selection of beers, read hundreds." Sherry Lehmann Wine Co. - Madison Avenue around 62nd St. Wine Store (premium), but has wines in all price ranges, such as $5.00 on the low end to much higher. Slaughtered Lamb Pub - 4th St Pub near old Peculiar Pub location. The Lamb serves ESB and a decent English cider on tap, and has their own brand of beer called something like Full Moon Ale.

Upper Westside Brewing Brewpub The White Horse - ; (212) Pub which "gets mentioned as a pub to visit, but I think that the house brew is a weak excuse for a beer(weak in flavor and fun)."

Kirby the brewmaster is making a Helles (which is where you end up after one too many), Pilsener, Maerzen, Vienna, Bock, and a Doppelbock (umph)!!!

Rochester Brewpub - 800 Jefferson; 14623 (716)272-1550 Brewpub "located at the Marketplace Inn, on Jefferson Road. This place is owned by the same people as the Buffalo Brewpub.

Had four kinds of brew--I think they were Porter, Amber, Dark Ale, & Oktoberfest. Were all very good. Facility is casual -- the CD jukebox belongs there, whereas it would look sleazy in Greenshields or Old Heidelberg. Food is ok, but I don't recall there being much selection. Mill Bakery, Brewery and Eatery (#5) - 122 West Woodlawn; 28217 (704)529-6455 Brewpub (Florida chain - these guys are everywhere!) North Carolina -- Durham: French Quarter - 115 N Duke St; 27701 (919)682-2337 Restaurant with French Creole. Not (yet?) a brewpub Formerly Old Heidelberg Village, Formerly Weeping Radish Restaurant & Brewery #2. Very good beer, pretty standard selection (light, amber, dark). I like the dark, but wouldn't call it a stout. They also act like a microbrewery, and sell their beer in small and large kegs. I've noticed some seasonal brews (for Oktoberfest and around Christmas). The food isn't bad, but is NOT WORTH the price! Others suggest the beer is "unremarkable". North Carolina -- Greensboro: Loggerhead Brewing Company - 2006 W Vandalia Rd; 27407 (919)292-7676 Brewpub Restaurant with a broad menu. An ale, pilsner and light beer.

I got the 'stout,' and was pleased. Not as much body as the Weeping Radish dark. More of a small pub atmosphere (hence the name). They have a small menu, sandwiches and the like. The pub fries were very good. Capper's Pub on the North side of Releigh. "They have a very nice selection of bottled beers, including some of the best domestic micros. Plus they do some real nice work with seafood and lamb. Finally, they have nice live jazz and blues." North Dakota -- Fargo: Unknown Brewpub to open in 1994 Ohio -- Centerville: Chickery Brewpub in Centerville near Dayton.

Microbrewery Wallaby Bob's - 653 Forest Fair Dr; 45240 (513)671-2739 Brewpub (Australian).

Ohio -- Cleveland: Great Lakes Brewing Co - 2516 Market St; 44113 (216)771-4404 Brewpub off of Cleveland Shoreway and Rt 2. The beer there is German style (Ken Hannan). Einbeck (special bock) and Heisman (Dortmunder style). I rank the GLBC either #1 or #2 for the best in the Northeast. It has won medals at the GABF for at least two years. Harbor Inn, The Bar in the flats (west bank). They have about 170 different types of beer including Samuel Smith's, Pripps' Lager, Celebrator Dopplebock (very good) and MANY others. There's a dollar cover charge and depending on the quality of beer prices range from $2.00 to $4.75 a bottle. Although you may find that some of the patrons stick to Miller Lite and Budweiser, it has a very relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend it. Melbourne's Brewing Co. Ohio -- Columbus: Barley's Ale House - High St Brewpub noth of downtown across from the convention center. "They have a nice pale ale, an irish red ale, and an excellent porter all of which can be bought in pint or 1/2 yard glasses. The food is quite good too." Columbus Brewing Co.

Oregon -- Beaverton: Greenway Pub - Scholls Ferry Boulevard; Pub McMenamin's Riverside Pub - Hall Street Brewpub chain Oak Hills Brewpub Brewpub. It is axiomatic that, in many areas of Portland, brewpub means McMenamin's. At least 17 of their pubs dot the Portland Metro area, and several of them are brewpubs; all McMenamin's pubs serve the products of the brewpubs, including Ruby Tuesday, Crystal Ale, Cascade Head, and Terminator, as well as several others. Simple pub-grub menu of filling, tasty sandwiches, perfect with a beer. In suburbs like Beaverton, it's not unusual to find a McMenamin's in an otherwise quite ordinary suburban strip-mall. The Greenway, Riverside, and generically- named McMenamin's are all in shopping centers, though the Riverside's location is not terribly obvious at first.

Bagdad Theatre - SE Hawthorne; Brewpub Theatre The second of the McMenamin's theatre-pub projects. The Bagdad only quite recently quit functioning as a movie theatre, finally succumbing to the onslaught of the suburban multiplexes. The McMenamins have had to do a lot of work to get this one ready, and it's an ambitious project. When finished, it will have well over double the capacity of the first McMenamin's theatre-pub, the Mission Theatre. Look for it, opening Autumn 1991, $1 admission, and all the McMenamin's favourites on tap. Blue Moon - NW Glisan and 21st Pub by McMenamin's.

The demand prompted a wide distribution, but problems with quality control forced them to cut back a bit, concen- trating on the local market. The pub is nice and roomy, and the pizza ain't half bad. Try any of the ales on handpump, especially the stout! Burlingame Grocery - 8502 SW Terwilliger; 97219 (503)246-0711 Beer Store.

This is where it started in Portland, one of the originals of its type here. Long before there were microbrews, the Produce Row was featuring local and foreign beers, not just Blitz and Rainier and Budweiser, but also Loewenbraeu (back in the '70's, BEFORE it became corrupted by Miller, when we still got the real thing from Munich), Watney's (when it was still drinkable), and Guinness. The Produce Row didn't rest on its laurels, and has managed to keep up with the times, and has even improved a little. The pub is in an old waterfront warehouse district, across the river from downtown Portland. Visit it on a nice day, when you can enjoy a table out on the back deck. Microbrews, quality imports (Loewenbraeu has been replaced by Paulaner and Spaten), and decent sandwiches. Raleigh Hills Pub - Scholls Ferry Road; Pub. This McMenamin's pub is a short distance from the Dublin on Beaverton- Hillsdale Highway. Usual range of McMenamin's products, and certainly not as noisy as the Dublin. Ram's Head, The - NW 23rd and Hoyt; Pub This pub is one of the newest in the McMenamin's (yes, those guys again!) chain. Anyone with any appreciation of the classic British pub MUST visit this one. Tastefully decorated, as inviting and convivial a pub as can be found in this city. May it enjoy massive success. The McMenamins now have four pubs in NW Portland alone!

"I discovered a country inn only 25 minutes drive from home that is a fine restaurant as well as a provisioner of several 'rotating' draft beers. At the moment they are near the end of their Anchor Christmas Ale, but they also have Pilsner Urquell, Sam Adams Dubble Bock and Double Diamond (amoung others) on tap. When the Anchor is kicked (any minute now) they expect to replace it with Murphy's Stout (Ireland), and may also put one of my favorites, Red Feather Ale, on tap." Zeno's now has a Hand-drawn real ale. They installed the proper tap, and it's worth the trip. Pennsylvania -- York: Quick 6 Beer and Food - 1510 W.

They have a 101 club. Their food is good, their prices are a bit steep. The handling of the bottles is uneven, some are old or skunked. This place is very close to my home." Celis Brewery - 2431 Forbes Dr; 78754 (512)835-0884 Microbrewery opened April '92. Shipping to 19 states as of June '93. Their White, Pale Bock and Grand Cru are very good.

'94 Crown & Anchor - 2911 San Jacinto; (512)322-9168 Bar near the university. Nice atmosphere, lots of microbrewed beer on draught at good prices by the glass or pitcher! "I think the nice atmosphere comment is out of line. They have a typical college bar atmosphere(fairly grungy). They are owned by the same people who own the Dog and Duck. Reduced prices on pints on Sundays ($2.25?). Good, cheap food. They had about 5 microbrewed beers on tap the last time I was there." Dog & Duck Pub - 406 W. 17th St; (512)479-0598 Pub with 29 beers on tap including the local Austin "Celis" (a Belgian-style brewery run by the former brewmaster of Hoengarden. "This place has a very nice, english pub atmosphere. They are losing the 'most beers on tap war' to the Medieval Inn. The Austin beer club and homebrewing club both meet here. They also have a few dozen bottled beers to choose from. Mondays, bottles are $1 off. Tuesdays, pints (20 oz.) are $2.50. They also sell all of their draft beers to-go in collapsible plastic containers (ala brewpubs). Food is standard english pub stuff. They are opening a brewpub one block off of 6th St." Double Dave's; 3000 Duval St; (512)476-DAVE Bar? "Pizza place. College atmosphere. Good selection of bottled beers (>100). There are several locations in Austin. They rotate their selection and have some nice specials with beers being rotated out. I got a couple sixpacks of Samuel Smith's Pale Ale for $1.25/bottle!"

Maggie Mae's - 323-325 East Sixth St; 78701 (512)478-8541 Pub with 6 beers on taps and 80+ in bottles. The menu nicely classifies the beers (light lager, pilsner, munchner, ...). This is is reputed to be good (mentioned in several books). "This bar is split into two halves, one half is a college bar with much better than average beer (~6 good beers on tap, nice bottle selection), the other half is a serious beer bar. About a dozen good beers on tap (maybe more?) and about 100 bottled beers. They have a pint night on Wednesdays, $1.75/pint. I know Michael Jackson gave this bar high marks" Medieval Inn - 5610 N I-35; (512)371-1717 Restaurant "About 35 beers on tap, 10 in bottles. Decent food. Yards, half yards, foot. Best pour of Guinness in town. Monday is pint night ($2.25/pint). They have a happy hour every day ($1.25/10 oz.). Lots of other nightly specials I don't remember. They got rid of the best waitress outfits in town (peasant girl) and have gone with a corporate, button-down look :(. They have remodeled the back of the restaurant away from the beer/medieval look and are running weekly contests where they are giving away the beer stuff." Pecan Street Microbrewery making "Pecan Street" Working on a Bock and Tipton's ESB. Delayed because the Texas BATF said they "looked too European". Only in Texas! "They are also opening a brewpub. Right now PSL is brewed outside of TX, I understand they will do all of their brewing here soon. I think they hired the brewmaster from Goose Island for the brewpub. The brewpub will be a block off of 6th St. (opposite direction from the D&G's, I forget which is which)." There is some trouble with this because the new TX brewpub law forbids anyone from owning both a microbrewer and a brewpub! Ugh! Posse East - 2900 Duval St; (512)477-2111 Bar? Rueben Hills - Stasney and Congress Liquor store in S. Austin. (This may not be the proper name). High prices, mediocre selection Scholz Garten - 1607 San Jacinto; (512)477-4171 Restaurant/bar.

($2.25/$2.25/ $2). Free pool in back room. Nice outdoor area in back. Decent prices on bottled beer, especially during happy hour (most of the time). They get their food from the Pecan Street Cafe (next door) and it is good." Stonehouse Brewery - 700 W. Sixth; (512)472-2739 Brewpub opening Jan. '94.

They have Bass, Guinness, Harp, etc on tap. Very good waitresses. Flips' Wine Bar and Italian restaurant - 1520 (Lowest) Greenville Ave; (214)824-9944 Restaurant and Wine Bar. In addition it had at last count 25+ beers on tap, none of which were bad! The most common were things like Guinness and Harp, goin to Liberty Ale, Paulaner (3 kinds), EKU 28, and several wheat beers. Very good food, too! Best place to go for beer in Dallas, although it can get crowded (now 2nd best behind the Gingermans). Very good selection of wine, plus cognac, grappa, and single malts! Gingermans - 2718 Boll St; (214)754-8771 Pub at the corner of Boll and Howell a block off of McKinney Ave about a mile North of downtown. By the people who own Gingerman's in Houston. Around 50 taps of good fresh beer. Wines as well, and some food. They also sell beer glassware and t-shirts. Crowded during peak "happy hours". They have a nice back outdoor area and upstairs balcony. Highly recommended!! Goody-Goody's - 10300 Harry Hines; (214)350-5806 Liquor Store with good prices and fair-good selection (for Dallas). Not a place to go at night. Goody-Goody's - 7124 Greenville; (214)363-2317 Liquor Store just North of the Medieval Inn. Good prices and selection. Green Elephant, The - 5612 Yale; (214)750-6625 Bar London Tavern - 2001 Greenville Ave; (214)823-7735 Bar Medieval Inn - 7102 Greenville Ave; (214)363-1114 Pub Theater. 4th best selection of draft beer in town. The pub is nice but the prices are typical of Dallas ($4 for a pint of ESB) and the pub has become a hideous yuppie & SMU-pre-law-wennie hangout. Ugh! Marty's - 3316 Oak Lawn Ave; (214)526-4070 Liquor Store near downtown. I haven't been there but it has a good reputation. Mr. G's - 1453 Coit Rd; (214)867-2821 Beer Store in the suburb of Plano (15 miles from downtown). This used to have the best beer selection in Dallas/Ft. Worth, and now (because the distributor is having problems) is only tied for the best. Mimi's Pub - 5111 Greenville Ave; (214)368-1994 Pub South of Lover's Lane - a small bar with a large (100+) selection of bottled beer. Mucky Duck - 3102 Welborn St; (214)522-7200 Pub in the British style. Used to be two but the original closed The other in a Northern suburb, Addison, inside Prestonwood mall at Belt Line and the Dallas North Tollway. A British pub with 6 British beers on draught (inc Fullers E.S.B, and Double Diamond). Yuppie crowds and it seems to be too full on week-nights. Prices are typical for Dallas - $4/pint Stan's Blue Note - 2908 Greenville Ave; (214)824-9653 Bar with a large (for Dallas) beer selection. However this is a low bar! Actually its a dive. Don't go dressed up! Yegua Brewing - Henderson Brewpub opening on Henderson east of Central, next to the Barley House! Opening late December '93 West End Brewing - The Brewery Bldg, 703 McKinney Ave; Suite 002; 75202 (214)871-7990 Microbrewery AKA Dallas Brewing Co Microbrewery producing beer in bottles and especially for the Outback Pub. They are just (April 91) converting to an all-malt system. Previously their first batches were extract-brewed and had quality problems. They are located at the Northwest point of downtown Dallas in a renovated warehouse district called the West End. (The West End has a heavy party crowd, and not quite my style. WEB makes West End Lager, and Texas Bluebonnet. West End Lager, a slightly amber lager, is reputed to be made from stale extract. Bluebonnet is drinkable. Both are bottled (and Texas "Cowboy" which is in between the two). Whole Foods - 2218 Greenville Ave; (214)824-1744 Beer Store on Lower Greenville. (Actually a organic food store) One of the better selections of beer around. The beer handler is well informed. Wine Emporium - 5715 Lovers Lane; (214)350-5686 Wine Store that lately has one of the best beer selections in town! Texas -- Ft. Worth: Pig & Whistle Pub - 5731 Locke Ave.; (214)731-4938 Pub, English. 2pm-2am daily. Live music starting at 9pm daily. No cover. A reasonable selection of UK beers Shamrock Tavern, The - 806 Taylor St; (817)335-1921 Texas -- Houston: Ale House, The - 2425 W.

Draft selection varies, and they make an effort to carry seasonal drafts at Christmas. Bottle selection includes most of what is available locally (the 50+ count is rough, and excludes mass-market American brews). Wine also, but no hard liquor. Pool, darts (no house darts as of my last visit), and foosball, or just sit and talk. Centrally located south of Highway 59, near Rice University, convenient to downtown, the Galleria area, and the Summit, reasonably convenient from the Astroworld complex. Draws a mixed crowd, mostly young. Elvia's Cantina - 2727 Fondren; (713)266-9631 Restaurant at Westheimer. A Mexican restaurant/bar. About 12 respectable brews on draft and 12-15 in bottles. The beer selection isn't too outstanding, but they offer the following single malt Scotches (in no particular order): Auchentoshan, Laphroaig, Glendronach, The MacAllan 12 year old, The MacAllan 18 year old, Dalwhinnie, Glenkinchie, Cragganmore, Oban, Talisker, Lagavulin, Glenmorangie, Glenfiddich, Highland Park, Edradour, Aberlour, Balvenie, Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Knockando Most of these are $4.50, about four or five are priced at $5.75. Certainly the most impressive display of single malts I have seen in a bar. The food is an unknown, as is the usual crowd (I visited it on July 3, the Wednesday preceding a holiday, and encountered mostly after-work happy hour types, but this may be atypical). Free chips and salsa (red & green), live music some nights. Well out to the west side of Houston on Westheimer. Gingerman's - 5607 Morningside; (713)526-2770 Pub "near Rice University campus. This pub was called 'one of the best Beer-bars in America' by Michael Jackson in the Pocket Guide to Beer. There are 50 beers on draft and around 100 in bottles (I didn't make it to the bottles). A very nice courtyard is located in the back of the pub. The selection is great and the atmosphere is good." Hops House, The - 2321 S. Highway 6; (713)496-0623 Pub. Just around the corner from me, The Hops House bills itself "A Beer Connoisseur's Paradise" and boasts 14 brews on tap and an impressive selection of bottled beers. The 101 Club is for those who have had 101 different brews there; locals may wish to try this. The atmosphere is that of a local bar, with a few dart boards and a miscellaneous crowd. Live music on weekends, mostly local rock bands. Way out west, just north of Westheimer. From Central Houston, best reached by taking I-10 to Highway 6 and heading south. Live Bait - 3743 Greenbriar Dr; (713)520-7771 Bar Local Charm - 1501 Telephone; (713)926-0329 Bar Mama Hatties Brewpub (probably opening late in '93?)

Spec's is a local chain with numerous stores in Houston, but the main store at the above address (referred to by them as a "warehouse" to distinguish it from their other stores) has the largest selection of any of their stores that I have seen, and presumably of any of their stores. The main store has the best selection of anyplace I have found in Houston. The store features 240 linear feet of shelf space devoted to imported brews and the products of smaller American breweries, plus a small refrigerator with the same stuff cold. In addition to this, Spec's has 40' of shelf space devoted to single malt Scotch whiskies, including a goodly selection from the Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseur's Choice lineup, and a good selection of other liquors & wines. Also, check across from the American swill for the best selection of branded beer glasses I have seen. They also have yard glasses, but these seem rather pricey. Spec's Warehouse is just southwest of downtown, convenient from downtown and just a short hop from The Gingerman, DeFalco's, the Crown and Serpent, and the Alehouse (just take 59 East, take the downtown cutoff) TV Rovers Pub - Hwy 6 Pub with over 250 different beers (in 1987) and 7 on tap.

Joey's - 217 N. Saint Mary's; (210)733-9573 Bar Liberty Bar Pub. A GREAT beer list. They had Guinness and several other quality brews on tap, and a wide variety of microbrews and imports in bottles, even Chimay! The Liberty is in a nondescript neighborhood near the Pearl brewery, just off Route 281 North (I think). Mama's Hofbrau - 9903 San Pedro; (210)342-3219 Restaurant? Utah -- Moab: Eddie McStiff's - 57 S Main; 84532 (801)259-2337 Brewpub "Another interesting law says the wait staff cannot offer patrons a drink. 'Can I get you anything' is OK, 'Can I get you anything from the bar?' isn't" Utah -- Park City: Schirf Brewing Co - 250 Main St; 85060 (801)645-9500 Microbrewery with attached brewpub (Wasatch) Wasatch Brewpub - 250 Main St; 85060 (801)649-0900 Brewpub Utah -- Riverdale: Ebenezer's Brewery Brewpub Utah -- Salt Lake City: Red Rock Brewing Brewpub Squatter's Pub and Brewery - 147 West Broadway; 84101 (801)363-2739 Brewpub. Trendy industrial yupster decor, with a very good variety of food. Their Buffalo wings are the best in town. The stock beers are a pale ale which is good, an amber ale which is much like many of the other amber ales I've tasted from micros, and a stout which does a good job of providing flavor despite the laws here holding it to 3.2 alcohol. It is my favorite. They usually have a fourth specialty beer, like their holiday Nut Brown, or their current offering, Winter Wheat. Utah -- Park City: Wasatch Pub - Main Street Brewpub. One gets the impression this place is more devoted to making money than beer, but the Schirf brothers aren't quite that bad. They were the ones who pushed the legislation through making pub brewerys legal. Similar style to Squatter s, again a good range of food but the Wasatch Wings aren't that great. The amber tastes much like Squatter's, the stout has gotten much better due to the competition, the Slickrock Lager is quite drinkable. Can get extremely crowded during ski season.

It has over 400 different brands of beer. Virginia -- Charlottesville: Blue Ridge Brewery - 709 West Main Street; 22901 (804)977-0017 Microbrewery "owned by William Faulkner's grandsons. They brew four types of beer: their Hawksbill Lager is their best-selling brand, but has the weakest body--it is similar to most U.S. industrial beers in character. Piney River Lager is another pilsner-style lager, but has significantly more body and flavor--it is reminiscent of the lagers of Southern Germany. Afton Ale is a hopheads dream; it is an amber bitter ale made with 5 types of hops and has a sharp lingering hops flavor but a somewhat thin body. Humpback Stout is a rich creamy stout with the flavor of roast malt and is neither overly bitter nor too sweet. Occasionally seasonal beers are offered; the first of these was a wheat beer offered in mid-summer 1989--a bock is planned for spring 1990."

(Formerly Chesapeake Bay Brewing Co.) "Its brewmeister, Wolfgang Roth, was educated in German beer institutes and produces a *fantastic* pair of brews -- Gold Cup Pilsner and Virginia Native Dopplebock. The pilsner is about as from from Urquell as you can imagine -- nice sharp hop bite, lots of body; a well balanced but but by no means delicate brew. Virginia Native is a heavy thirst-quenching brew with (again) lots of body, and a screaming hop bite and aroma. One of the `wettest beers I have ever tasted. Both -- until ~August 89 -- were only available at a certain chain of DC area bars; Gold Cup is now available in bottles (around DC at least). I also got a keg of Gold Cup (wonderful, but pricey), and I hear I can get Virginia Native in kegs too. I've also heard that a modified Native will be available in bottles as a Christmastime beer -- name unknown. This stuff has guts and spirit like the Grants beers I had in Seattle, but is much better balanced, and has higher consistency, batch-to-batch." Virginia -- Williamsburg: Wythe Candy and Gourmet Shop Beer Store with excellent selection of beer for take-out Virginia -- Woodbridge: Beer & Wine Outlet - 3268 Davis Ford Rd; (703)690-7440 Liquor Store listed in "BarleyCorn" Washington -- Bavarian Village: Leavenworth Brewery - (509)548-4545 Brewery and restaurant in the Cascade mts 2 hours from Seattle. German style beers. Washington -- Colville: Hales Ales Ltd. - 701 N. Main St. Microbrewery. The original Hale's brewery is here, but it has been overshadowed by the newer Hale's in Kirkland. Kind of logical, given its distance from the market - there's more microbrew fanciers in the Seattle area than in Northeastern Washington. Washington -- Kalama: Hart Brewing Co. - 176 First St Microbrewery. Capacity: 5,000 barrels. Pyramid Pale Ale, Wheaten Ale, Pacific Crest Ale, Snowcap Ale (Bottled and Draft). Recently, the original owners and founders sold out to the owners of the Fratelli's Ice Cream company. Interesting combination, ale and ice cream. Both are made with attention to quality, although Pacific Crest Ale is kind of bland. Snowcap is a seasonal brew, appearing around Christmastime. Washington -- Kirkland: Kirkland Roaster Restaurant. A very good restaurant with an outstanding bar--a gleaming copper bartop with what seemed to be over 20 handles serving microbrewed beer! Wow! And you can look through the glass windows into the Hale's Ales brewery next door. (Love their slogan--"Give 'em Hale's!") Several people recommended this highly The Roaster is another place in the same vein as Seattle's McRory's or O'Shaugnessy's. In fact, a whole chain of restaurants with big bars, serving a wide variety of microbrews, is scattered around the Seattle metro area; the two owners recently decided, quite amicably, to split the chain between them. The places are still fundamentally quite similar. See also Kenmore's Lake Washington Taproom. Washington -- Leavenworth: Leavenworth Brewery Brewpub Washington -- Monroe: Kufnerbrau - 112 N. Lewis St Brewpub. Capacity. 3,000 barrels. Kufnerbrau Old Bavarian Style Beer (Bottled and draft). : The Big Time has improved significantly in the last year or so. Unfiltered ales and special brews are served at week-ends, and the Atlas Amber is quite well-hopped. A recent sampling of Baghwan's Bitter, unfiltered, was quite rewarding. There have been some interesting wheat beers (like the recent unfiltered "Wheat Ease", a wheat ale) and a dark ale made with barley and rye. Blue Moon Pub "Has half a dozen ales on tap -- Hale's Celebration Porter, Hale's Special Bitter, Ballard Bitter, Red Hook ESB, Grant's IPA, Grant's Scottish, Grant's Russian Imperial Stout, and Grant's Cider... whoops! that's NINE!" Highly recommended by several people Blue Star Cafe & Pub - 4512 Stone Way N; (206)548-0345 Pub with Northwest microbrews Buckaroo Tavern - 4201 Fremont N; (206)634-3161 Pub with Northwest microbrews California and Alaska Street Brewery - 4720 California Ave SW; 98116 (206)938-2476 Brewpub regulars: blond, amber, ESB, brown, stout, 1 more seasonals: Alki Pepper Ale, wheaten, "lambic" College Inn Pub - 4006 University Way N.E.; 98105 (206)634-2307 Pub A block south of the Big Time, on the opposite side of the street, the ersatz-British ambiance of the College Inn Pub has served the local college clientele for a number of years, with a variety of Northwest ales on tap. Comet Tavern - 922 E Pike; (20^)323-9853 Pub with Northwest microbrews Cooper's Alehouse - 8065 Lake City Way N.E.; (206)522-2923. Pub with 22 Draft beers, darts, fish and chips. "Seattle's Original Ale House"? Small menu (everything under $5) 24 beers on tap, and mainly Pacific Northwest micros on tap - the lone exception being Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. They used to serve Guinness, but went completely "West Coast", replacing it with either Grant's Russian Imperial Stout or Hart's Sphinx Stout, depending on mood and availability. Pleasant pub, sort of Anglo-Irish, but with aa character all its own, and quite deservedly popular. Besides fish & chips, good club sandwiches and burgers with real french-fries, fresh cut and served in generous portions. Duwamps Cafe / Seattle Brewing Co. Brewpub Restaurant at the Corner of Queen Anne and Thomas near Seattle Center. CLOSING (or no longer brewing?) Feb 1992 (CA Celebrator) A restaurant that also brews beer. I find their beers really excellent. (The owners used to run the Calistoga Inn in Napa valley.) It made the top ten list of restaurants in Seattle. This is Seattle's newest brewpub, in business since late 1991. The restaurant has a good and varied menu, featuring pizzas, salads, pastas, seafood, and a few traditional things like sausages with pan-fried potatoes. Several beers on tap, including the occasional seasonal specialty, most recently a springtime Maibock. In addition to their own beers, other Seattle micro's are available, typically Maritime Pacific, Pike Place Ale, and Red Hook ESB. F X McRory's Steak Chop & Oyster House - 419 Occidental S., (206)623-4800 Pub Restaurant 26 Fresh Live Draught Beers; Anchor Steam Christmas Ale, Ballard Bitter, Big Rock Cold Cock, Big Rock Winter Porter, BridgePort Winter Brew, Grant's Scottish Ale, Guinness, Hale's Celebration Porter, Hale's Moss Bay Ale, Hale's Special Bitter, Hale's Wee Heavy, Harp, Poulsbo Pilsner, Pyramid Wheaten Ale, Ranier Dry, Redhook ESB, Shaftebury Cream Ale, Thomas Kemper Lager, Thomas Kemper WinterBrau, Widmer Fest Bier, Young's Winter Warmer, + ordinary beers. The bar is huge, and is handy for Kingdome events (though it gets mighty crowded after Mariners and Seahawks games). Food's pretty good, too. Grady's Pub & Grill - 2307 24th Ave. E.; 98112 Pub. The newest of the recycled taverns, a bit south of the Montlake bridge and not far from the University of Washington. Formerly Jilly's East, Usual (for Seattle) selection of local ales, along with Harp Lager and one or two industrial lagers. Massive french-dip sandwiches made from the tenderest prime rib, very good with, say, a Widmer Hefeweizen or a Red Hook ESB. Hart Brewing Compang, 176 First Street; (206)673-2962 Microbrewery making Pyramid ales. 7 years old, 8,000 barrels / year. Tasting room open 8-5 at 110 West Marina Dr. Jake O'Shaughnessey's, The New - 401 Bellevue Sq; 455-5559 Restaurant with 29 Fresh live draught beers, currently featuring: Anchor Steam Christmas Ale, Ballard Bitter, Bass, BridgePortGolden, Full Sail Golden Ale, Grant's Scottish Ale, Guinness, Hale's Moss Bay Amber, Hale's Pale American, Hale's Special Bitter, Harp, Heineken, Paulaner Salvator, Pyramid Wheaten Ale, Redhook ESB, Thomas Kemper Lager, Thomas Kemper WinterBrau, T.W.Fisher's Centennial Pale Ale, Snow Cap Holiday Ale, Widmer's Hefeweizen Young's Winter Warmer, Young's Special + ordinary beers) Actually the real beers are an ever-changing selection. Mainly a steak and seafood restaurant, but with a respectable bar. Affiliated with F X McRory's. Jake O'Shaughnessey's, The Original - 100 Mercer Street; 98109 (206)285-1897 Restaurant, the first in the chain that eventually included McRory's, New Jake's, Kirkland Roaster, etc... yes, 18 or 20 beers on tap, meats and seafood, a touch formulaic perhaps, but it's all quite agreeable. Kell's - 1916 Post Alley; (206)682-1397 Pub Irish style. Divided restaurant/bar. Music in the bar. Irish food. La Boheme - 6119 Phinney Ave N Pub, 15 beers on draught, recently re-opened, after new owner closed it and did a bit of remodelling, most of which consisted of adding some new taps. Simple, smoky neighborhood bar. Maritime Pacific, Red Hook, Sierra Nevada, Grant's, Thomas Kemper; also one import on tap, lately Aass Bokbier from Norway, but sometimes Young's Special Bitter. Latona by Green Lake - 6423 Latona Ave N.; 98103 (206)525-2238 Pub Offering Rogue oatmeal stout, among others. Another recycled tavern - new owner acquires old dump, closes it for remodelling, and re-opens as spiffy tavern with micros on tap. Not bad, but the room acoustics are a bit harsh, making it hard to escape the often-annoying live music which starts at 9:00 PM nightly. Decent pub grub. Louie's On The Pike - 1924 26 Pike Place Market; 98101 (206)443-1035 Pub. Wide microbrew selection, glassware and breweriana. 200 foreign and local beers. A good place for news on the local brewing scene. Recently had some Jenlain 'biere de garde' from France! Maple Leaf Bar and Grill, The - Roosevelt Ave. NE; Pub Restaurant A pleasant, not real big, neighborhood pub, that draws people from all over town. The fresh ales (Red Hook, Hale's, Widmer, and others) on tap are nice, but they aren't the main draw; here, it's the food, some of the best 'tavern' food in the city of Seattle. The menu provided is sufficient for those desiring a sandwich or burger, and the Maple Leaf certainly does well with these; but the blackboard in back, hanging right by the entrance to the kitchen, is the attraction here, with delectable selections made fresh-to-order, like 'radiatore' pasta with seafood, rabbit with wonderful fruit-based sauces, breaded catfish, and other dishes that are definitely not ordinary pub-grub in this city. If you are visiting from out of town, get your friends or associates to bring you here instead of McRory's or O'Shaugnessys or McHugh's. Maritime Pacific Brewing Company - 1514 N.W. Leary Way; (206)782-6181 Microbrewery. On tap at Cooper's and the Red Door. Opened in 1990, 80 barrels/month. They use wheat in the beer. Maritime Pacific is Seattle's newest commercial microbrewery, formed by former employees of Noggins. Available at the Red Door, Cooper's, La Boheme, and several other metro-area pubs. Tours on Saturday afternoon Merchant Du Vin - 2503 3rd St; (206)448-1228 Importer. Owned by Charles Finkel. Has brewerania for sale, as well as seattle pub tours. Murphy's Pub - 2110 N. 45th St; (206)634-2110 Pub in the U district in Seattle, out west on 45th. "Great pub! They usually have all the micro brewery beers on tap and lots of english/irish beers too." !! NOT in the U-District - it's Wallingford. "Famous for Guinness", or so they claim, and it's not a bad pint. Good selection of local ales too. Live music, mostly folk and blues, after 9:00 PM most nights. Noggins Brewery, Bar & Restaurant - 400 Pine; 98101 (206)682-2739 Brewpub. "This is owned by the same people who run the Spinnaker in Victoria, B.C. They serve six or seven of their own brews on tap. They serve each beer at the right temperature. I have spoken to their brewmaster and he knows what he is doing. I have not tried their wheat beer, but the general consensus is that it is bad (with the exception of a female friend of mine who loves it). They have two locations (and the dark ale is slightly different at each. One is in the University District, at the SE corner of Brooklyn Ave. NE and NE 42nd Street. The other is in Westlake Center." : The Noggins bunch have made a few mistakes since opening for business, and in business, mistakes are not well-rewarded. The University District Noggins is defunct, and the downtown Noggins just ain't that great. It's also rather dead in the evenings, although it does a fair business during the lunch hour, especially on Saturdays. Westlake Center is a sort of high-rise shopping mall, nothing of great significance. Noggins Brewery, Bar #2 - 4142 Brooklyn, NE; 98105 (206)632-2537 Brewpub, second in chain. Now DEFUNCT! Northwest Brewery & Pub Tours - 4224 First Ave NE; 98105 (206)547-1186 A group that runs tours. (I now hear the phone is disconnected 11/92) Pacific Northwest Brewing Company, Ltd - 322 Occidental Ave. S; 98104 (206)621-7002 Brewpub Restaurant Bar (in Pioneer Square). Cask conditioned ales served in an interesting array of glasses. The owner, Richard Wrigley, started Commonwealth Brewing in Boston, Manhattan Brewing in NY. An interesting array of glasses doesn't make up for the disap- pointing products. The owner spent a lot of money to open it, and is trying hard to earn it back, so it's more expensive than it should be, especially given the quality of food and drink. The 'interesting array of glasses' is an attempt to do as is done in some of the specialty beer-bars in Europe, but some of the rationale is a little strange. If you aren't familiar with the European styles of serving, it all comes off as a bit pretentious. If you are familiar, it still seems preten- tious, and the logic is a bit loony - why is a dark ale served in a Koelsch-style glass? And who cares, anyway, since the beers are all a bit thin and lacking in character. Pike Place Bar and Grill - Pike Street and Pike Place; (206)624-1365 Restaurant with very good food and NW USA microbrewed beer. 4.5 stars. Pike Place Brewery - 1432 Western Ave; 98101 (206)622-1880 Microbrewery (tiny) - 3.5 barrel kettle producing a pale ale. Already well-distributed throughout the Seattle area, available at several pubs, and in bottles at many area grocery stores. Owned, at least in part, by Charles Finkel, founder of Merchant du Vin, the Seattle-based importer that brought us Sam Smith's, Pinkus-Mueller, and Ayinger, among others, all at rather high prices. All grain comes from "Crisp Malting" in England, Kent and Goldings hops from England and British Columbia. Currently expanding (1991). Pioneer Square Saloon - 77 Yesler; (206)340-1234 Pub with Northwest microbrews Red Door Ale House - 3401 Fremont Ave; (206)547-7521 Pub serving excellent pints. Grant's IPA, Blue Heron (from Bridgeport, not Mendocino?) Redhook Ales! Long wood bar, historic pictures. 23 beers on draught including some cask conditioned ale (Pike Place barley wine!) The Bridgeport Blue Heron is unavailable on draught at present. Some- thing about production problems at the brewery in Portland, so they cut back and concentrated on the local (Portland, not Seattle) market. But, there's also Pyramid, Maritime Pacific, Pike Place, Hale's, and Fuller's ESB (keg version) from London. Even keg ESB is quite tasty, and an interesting comparison versus the local ales. Redhook Brewery - 3400 Phinney Ave N; (206)548-8000 Microbrewery. "Does have a bar on site. However, it is not a true brewpub since their beer is available on draft and in bottles elsewhere. 24,000 barrels / year. Tours M-F 3PM, Sat-Sun at 1:30, 2:30, 3:30, 4:30. The Trolleyman Pub serves Redhook Ales, which is not surprising, as it's wholly owned by Red Hook Brewery. It had a small menu with inexpensive prices, but the food was prepared off-premises and refrigerated, then reheated at the pub. This has given way to simple bar snacks and the like. Think of the Trolleyman as Redhook's brewery taproom, with occasional cask-conditioned and dry-hopped versions of Red Hook's ESB. Red Hook Brewery, in fact, has pretty much outgrown the micro label, and now qualifies as a Northwest regional brewer, much as Anchor qualifies as a California regional. Red Hook brews an ESB, Black Hook Porter, Wheathook, and Ballard Bitter, and has reintroduced its original, banana-fruity, Red Hook Ale, in bottles. Their plans call for a new facility to be built for lager-brewing (!). Seattle Brewers - 530 S. Holden Brewpub Trolleyman - 3400 Phinney Ave North Pub serving Redhook Ales. Small menu with inexpensive prices. This is the "tasting room" for Redhook, see Redhook brewery, above. Smoking is not permitted. T.S. McHugh's Public House - Mercer Street Restaurant A short distance from the Original Jake O'Shaughnessey's, also owned by the same person (Mick McHugh). Irish in feel and design, with Irish pub signs outside advertising Guinness and Harp, as well as Bushmill's whisky. 15 to 18 ales on tap, including (of course) Guinness, but also beers from Red Hook, Pyramid, Grant's, Hale's, and Thomas Kemper. 74th Street Ale House - 7400 Greenwood Ave. N. Pub One of the newest pubs in Seattle opened here less than two months ago. It was the 74th Street Tavern, until a new owner took it over and closed the doors, and then proceeded with an extensive remodelling. The 74th Street Tavern was a dark, smelly dive serving industrial bland lagers. The new and improved 74th Street Ale House has been yuppified just a tad, with Magneplanar speakers suspended from the ceiling, pictures of British pubs on the wall, new carpeting, stained-glass insets, and a kitchen serving pretty decent pub-grub (no deep-fat fryer, burgers are broiled, good salads). At least a dozen ales on tap, including the traditional pantheon of Northwest Ales (Red Hook, Grant's, Hale's, Pyramid, Widmer) and Fuller's ESB from London (as at the Red Door Ale House, a keg version). Unicorn, The - 4550 University Way; 98105 (206)634-1115 Restaurant - Cask Conditioned ale. Pub-like ambiance, but it's a restaurant, or so says the proprietor, a rather grouchy expatriate of the U.K. The food is not the star here, it's just average, but Anchor's Old Foghorn barleywine has made an appearance at the taps here, as well as 'cask-conditioned' versions of Grant's. Cask-conditioned is a bit of a misnomer anywhere in the Northwest, but still, the sound of the beer being poured out of the handpump is quite pleasant. Because the owner insists that it's a restaurant, he's rather a pain-in-the-arse about just letting you sit there for a pint or two, especially during the dinner hours. Virginia Inn - 1937 First Ave; (206)728-1937 Pub with 8 beers on draught. Good restrooms Von's - 619 Pine Street; 98104 (206)621-8667 Restaurant owned by one of the original partners in the McRory's- O'Shaughnessey's group, Tim Firnstahl. Big range of beers on tap, around 20 or so at last count. Reasonably-priced dinners, sort of all- American bistro food. Lots of copper in the bar, big tanks full of hard liquors, and close to two dozen taps, so there's a big variety of local ales, and often more than one British ale too. Wedgwood Alehouse & Cafe - 8515 35th NE; (206)527-2676 Pub with Northwest microbrews Washington -- Spokane: Fort Spokane Brewery Brewpub with beers served in neighboring restaurant. Pale Ale, Red Alt, Border Run Ale. Located right in the downtown area. Washington -- Tacoma: Engine House No 9 - 611 N. Pine; 98406 (206)272-3435. Pub listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 29 beers on draft including with 9 seasonal selections; 3 cask- conditioned ales; 45 international bottled beers. Includes Bridgeport's Blue Heron, Pyramid Pale Ale. Pizzas, tacos, chili. Washington -- Tri-City: Tri-City Brewing Co. - 409 W. Railroad Ave; 99336 (509)586-1803 Microbrewery opened October 88. Washington -- Vancover: Hazel Dell Brewpub Brewpub Washington -- Winthrop: Winthrop Brewing - 155 Riverside Ave; 98862 (509)996-3183 Brewpub is an easy-to-find red schoolhouse in a town of 320.

(Dos Bandidos Brew Pub) 25 oz carry out bottles. Opened in July 1989 by John and Phyllis Jungers. Brewery tours during all mall hours. Fox Classic Brewing Co - 318 W. College Ave; 54913 (414)730-1166 Brewpub & Microbrewery Wisconsin -- Chilton: Rowlands Calument Brewing - 25 North Madison St; 53014 (414)849-2534 Brewpub aka "The Roll Inn". Wisconsin -- Chippewa Falls Leinenkugel Brewery Brewery. One of the oldest continuously operating breweries in the state (founded in 1867 or something), the brewery was bought by Miller a couple of years back but did not change the general recipes, maintaining its cult following in the Wisconsin Northwoods. Brews include Leinenkugel (affectionately known as "Leinie's"), a light beer, and a pretty good seasonal bock (available in the spring only, I think). Wisconsin -- Kenosha: The Brewmaster's Pub - 4017 80th St; 53142 (414)694-9050 Brewpub 50 minutes from downtown Chicago, opened in 1987. The beers seem to be all lagers. Full menu. Reasonable prices Wisconsin -- LaCrosse: Casino Bar: Bar with a variety of good imported beers. Wisconsin -- Madison: Essen Haus - 514 E. Wilson Restaurant (German beers on tap, Spaten, Paulaner) Steve's Liquor - University avenue Liquor Store, across from the Hilldale shopping center Wisconsin -- Middletown: Capital Brewery Inc. - 7734 Terrance Ave; 53562 (608)836-7100 Microberwery. They have a beer garden which is open seasonally. They make many very good german style beers under the labels 'Capital' and 'Garten Brau'. Wisconsin -- Milwaukee: Barrel Rdiers Pub - Wright & Humbolt Pub modeled after J.R.R. Tolkiens "The Hobbit" Bavarian Wursthaus Brewpub (?) across from Timmerman Airport. Lakefront Brewery - 818-A East Chambers; 53212 (414)372-8800. Microbrewery I've heard good things about their beers and their tours (Sat 1:30 & 2:30) Mader's - 3rd Avenue (in the Old World district) Restaurant, German, "named Best in State by the Milwaukee Journal. Tremendous food, atmosphere (500 year old suits of armor and artwork), gift shop, huge beer selection (220 at last count)." Miller Brewery - 53rd St. (look for the huge sign from I-94) Brewery - "Yeah, I know the beer sucks, but the brewery tour is impressive, just for the immenseness of the operation." Saz's - West State Street. Fun place, good ribs, and many good brews on tap Sprecher Brewing Company - 730 West Oregon St; 53204 (414)272-BEER. Microbrewery South of downtown Their 'tour' consists of a visit to their brewing room, a discussion of their process, and sampling of their brews. Their beers are excellent, be sure to try their Spacial Amber, the Milwaukee Weiss, and their Root Beer. Water Street Brewery - 1101 North Water St; 53202 (414)272-1195 Brewpub started in 1987. Downtown Milwaukee brewpub with Continental Brew System. The review lists them as making various lagers. Also offers (bottled) Midwestern microbrewed beers and others. Sandwiches & Salads. Zur Krone - 839 South 2nd Street. Bar. A true Milwaukee beer hall. They have a huge selection of bottled and tap beers. Wisconsin -- Monroe: Augsburger Brewery Joseph Huber Brewery - 1208 14th Ave; 53566 (608)325-3191 Brewery Beers brewed include the original Huber brand, plus Berghoff (bought out by Huber several years ago). Berghoff's best beer is an excellent Dortmunder- style Bock. Wisconsin -- New Glarus: New Glarus Hotel - Restaurant 10 miles from the Huber Brewery. They get "Glarus" specially from Switzerland, and include Berghof and Birell. Wisconsin -- Port Washington: Sir James Pub - 316 N.

Wisconsin -- Sturgeon Bay: Cherryland Brewing Co - 341 North 3rd Ave; 54235 (414)746-0900 Brewpub (AKA Olivers Station) "They also bottle their beer. In August, I talked with the brewmaster, and he told me that they are currently brewing their beer at the old Dubuque Star Brewery. The brewery was sitting idle since Dubuque Star filed for bankruptcy. So, Cherryland Brewing Co. got permission from the bankruptcy judge to rent the brewery (it will help pay the creditors). "I had to fight to get some of their 'CherryRail Ale" at the 11th GABF. It was gone almost immediately at GABF 10. Lovely (but sweet)" Wyoming -- Jackson: Aspen Wine and Spirits - ; (307)733-5038 Wine Store Cafe Montagna - ; (307)733-9194 Liquor Store - ; (307)733-4466 Liquor Store Merry Piglets - ; (307)733-4968 Otto Brothers - 1295 West St; 83014 (307)733-9000 Microbrewery in Wilson, WY.

Apparently there had been a brewery on the site for hundreds of years. The actual building dates back to the early 1600's, and the site was probably an Inn before that (its mentioned in connection with some royal personage on his way to Warwick). The pub is situated adjacent to the River Ouse" Turvey Bitter (og 1038), Two Henrys (og 1042), Winkey's Winter Wobbler (og 1072) Berkshire -- Aldworth: Bell Inn Pub voted 1991 CAMRA National Pub of the year. The pub is located just off the B4009 at OS grid reference 557797. The Good Beer Guide (1990 edition) says: "Bell Inn, Aldworth (closed on Mondays) Serves: Arkell BBB, Kingsdown Ale, Hall and Woodhouse Badger Best, Morrell Dark Mild Old fashioned hatch bar with wonderful tap room including one handed clock; this free house has been in the same family for over 250 years. Parts of the building date from 1340. Close to the start of the Ridgeway and popular with walkers. Try the hot filled rolls." Highbury Vaults Pubs Includes Brains Dark Mild, 1991 best Mild in CAMRA awards. Bristol: Fleece & Firkin Pub. Former Bruce home-brew pub in the old wool merchants' hall, Bristol, now owned by Halls. No longer makes their own beers. Smiles Brewery Tap Pub above the Smiles Brewery. Won CAMRA's national 1991 Best new pub award. Cask beers: Smiles Brewery, Best, and Exhibition, plus 1 guest beer. Has a wide selection of European bottled beers. No draught lager. From "Conor O'Neill " Cambridge: Ancient Druids - Napier St; 0223 324514 Brewpub, the first home-brew pub (using malt extract) set up by a regional brewery, Charles Wells of Bedford, in 1984 in Cambridge. CASK BEERS: Kite Bitter (1038), Druids Special (1045). "They've also got a very potent brew called Merlin (I think it's around 1060) They also have a reputation for very good curries." Cambridge Blue - Gwydir St. Pub. Other good free ale houses are The Cambridge Blue (Gwydir St.) which probably has the best real ale selection, and an real character of a landlord. Free Press - Prospect Row Pub (behind the police station) pretty good. Has all the real rowing stuff on the walls. Geldart Pub which treats its Guiness right, and has live folk music on Sunday and Tuesday Green Dragon Pub (up in Chesterton), my former local, which also has live folk music on Mondays. Live and Let Live Pub. Live and Let Live is the only gaslit pub in Cambridge, they also have good deals on food. Mill, The Pub (aka the Tap and Spile) is recommended by everyone, but I avoid it. It's right on the river, so every tourist and his dog comes there, you wait far too long for a pint, and they usually serve it in plastic. They do have Stonehinge Ginger however (a strong (1045-1050?) ale with ginger flavoring). Salisbury Arms - Tennison Road Pub It isn't bad, but tends to be a bit student infested during term time. St. Redagund - King Street Pub. Very good, and the landlord likes his jazz, which is nice. Don't get into a trivia argument with him over geography, though, he'll eat your lunch. Tram Depot, The Pub just off of East Road. Pretty good and has some rarities. Canterbury: Trappist Beer Imports - Gordon Rd Beer Store with a good range of Belgian beers Cardiff: Blue Anchor Pub near the Cardiff/Wales Airport. Lots of guest beers Old Arcade pub serving Brains Royal Oak - Newport Road Pub Clapham: Ye Olde Windmill Inn Pub and BIB in SW4, just SW of central London.

Ann Street Brewery Brewery, formerly keg-only but has started brewing Old Jersey Ale, 1036OG, They own the Guernsey Brewery (qv) and hence also supply those beers. Liverpool: Wine Shop - Cavern Walks Wine Shop owned by David Scatchard near Cavern walks Dispenses sherry, port and various spirits; rum, Armagnac, French and Spanish brandy, whisky and more at prices that greatly undercut the bottled equivalents. Next week, you could fill up with a 1969 distillation of Glen Moray for #21.20 a bottle, or Highland Park, Dufftown-Glenlivet or Glenfarclas 10-yearolds for between #13 and #14. Scatchard's malts are from single casks neither coloured nor filtered, simply diluted to standard strength, each barrel with its own individual nuances of flavour: the real ales of malt whisky. London: Beer Shop, The - 8 Pitfield St; N1 (01)739-3701 Beer Store. The pioneer of European beers and has a good range of Belgian specialties. They also either make their own beer, or run a brewpub next door. Bitter Exchange, The Beer Store (I think) near Blackheath Ferret & Firkin - Brewpub by David Bruce home-brew pub, London SW10. Cask beers: Stoat (1038), Ferret Ale (1045), Dogbolter (1060).

CASK BEERS: Brixton Bitter (1036), Best (1040), Warrior (1050). {Warrior Sound like a good name for a beer.} Manchester: Lass O'Gowrie Brewpub off Oxford Road Queen's Head Pub in the backstreets just off Cheetham Hill? Good place for imports King's Arms Pub in Salford. Taylor's, guest beers, live bands, chess clubs Oxford: Eagle and Child, The - North Woodstock Rd. Pub, A long narrow pub with several rooms. Was once a J.R.R. Tolkien/C.S. Lewis hangout. (Dave 'DJ' Jerome ) Perch, The - Binsey d Pub. "This is a wonderful thatch roofed pub located on the outskirts of Oxford. You can get to it by walking through a public field. Follow St. Barnard's Road off of the Woodstock Rd to the end. Procede across the field to the river and follow the path north along the river. You'll see the pub off to the left. They even have a place to 'park' boats. The server Wadsworth 6X and Tetley's. Excellent food as well (Dave 'DJ' Jerome ) Turf Tavern Pub. It's a little hard to find, but everyone knows where it is (I think it's on Bath). This place has been around since the 14th century, and was featured in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales as the point of departure for the pilgrims, and is still a fave of college students. Absolutely wonderful atmosphere. They serve two ales from Hook Norton, Hook's Best and Old Hook's - the smoothest bitters I've had. White Horse, The - High St. Pub. This is a 'cellar' pub located right next to Blackwell's Bookstore. Great atmosphere and excellent beers. Gets crowded with students when school is in session. (Dave 'DJ' Jerome ) Sheffield: Fat Cat Pub with Old Peculier, Old Roger, Marston's Pedigree, Landlord, guest beers, Belgian ales. Frog and Parrot Pub, the Frog and Parrot (apparently quite famous, but I took that with a pinch of salt since it was the owner tell me so), was one of the nicest I've seen in England. Split level, several snug areas, realistic, non-tacky olde-worldy decor, with reinforced glass trap doors to the brewing cellar below. The whole effect was only marred by the ubiquitous fruit machines which seem to pervade every British pub these days. Scotland -- Aberdeen: Ale Cellar - 114 Rosemont Viaduct Beer Store, Belgian beers among its European selection Tap Room Pub.

I've only seen this stuff in their own shop; there is one in the Royal Mile in Edinburgh (172 Canongate, phone +44 556 5864) and I think they still have an office in Aberdeen. The gentleman in the Edinburgh shop is exceptionally helpful, and one thing it's fun to do there is pop in and buy some of their "cask-ends"; they sell malts from a single cask (so you get a different taste each time) and tend to sell cask-end bottles. If you tell him what your style is, he'll recommend a couple. Had a wonderful Ben Nevis from there once, which had almost a brandy-like quality to it." This is at the lower end of the Royal Mile. 80-100 single malts at a time. The phone is also listed as 031-556 5864. Cafe Royale - W.

Club "This Society was formed several years ago by a group of folks who banded together to buy single casks of malt from distillers. The Society releases bottlings quarterly, and the bottles are mail orderable (certainly in the UK); they are at 87 Giles Street, Leith, Edinburgh EH6 (phone +44 31 553 1003) if you want to contact them. They may post overseas (though beware of your own country's import laws, of course). They maintain a Member's Bar at their headquarters, where you can go to sample the current bottlings, and have a Member's flat for hire. Theoretically you can't drink in the bar or buy whisky unless you're a member, but as the memebrship fee is mostly contribution to your first bottle from them, if you're visiting Scotland there's no reason why you shouldn't join the Society as soon as you arrive, and on your first bar visit!

Walker's Bar Pub at Micklegate with good Theakston's Ye Olde Starr Inn York Beer Shop Beer Store AUSTRALIA: Fremantle: Good On Yet, Freo! Brewpub since 1952. AUSTRIA St. Johan: Huber Brewpub and Brewery. The brewery is the biggest building in town, and there's a "brewpub" on the roof with great views of the Kitzbeulerhorn. They brew a light bock called "Augustiner" that's out of this world. GERMANY Ammersee: Andechs Brewpub - actually it is the Andechs monastery. Ampferbach: Max Wagner - ; D8602 Brewpub (well, sort of) Max's place is in a small town out in the countryside, a few kilometers southwest of Bamberg. The proprietor is friendly, his food is good (fresh chicken on Saturday, sausages and meats home-cured), and his beer is wonderful. Unfortunately, his brewery suffered some cata- strophic damage some years ago, so his beers are now contract-brewed down the road. It doesn't matter, it's still good, it's the local specialty they call 'Kellerbier' or 'ungespundetes', a dark, hoppy, cloudy beer served in old-fashioned clay mugs. Wagner's is popular at weekends. Franconia has many places like this, and the price is certainly right - half liters here are only 2 marks, or $1.20! The food prices are equally reasonable. Bamberg: Faessla - Obere Koenigstrasse 21; D8600 Brewpub Good range of specialties, although they don't do Rauchbier. A blond lager, a Pilsner, a unique "Zwergla", and a Bambergator doppelbock are included in the range. Franconian pub food, dangerously good, but rich - you probably don't eat sausage like this at home. For pub-hoppers, the Spezial is across the street. Greifenklau - Laurenziplatz 20; D8600 (0951)53219 Brewpub Greifenklau's Maerzen style is billed as a Rauchbier, but it is only lightly smoked, not nearly so smoky as Spezial or Schlenkerla. Good hearty food, of course; Greifenklau also owns the Altenburgblick Hotel, just down the hill from the pub. Try the smoked-ham platter with a mug of the beer. Greifenklau is about 10-15 minutes' walk (all uphill) from the center of town. Mahrs - Wunderburg 5; D8600 Pub Main outlet of one of the less well-known of the Bamberg breweries, Brauerei Mahrs. Good beers, and plenty of reasonably-priced food for those with an appetite. Old-fashioned interior, lots of wood and low ceilings. Maisel - Obere Koenigstrasse; D8600 Pub There is more than one Maisel brewery in Germany, although some of the owners of one are related to the owners of another. The most well- known Maisel is the one in Bayreuth, less than an hour's drive away. This is the Bamberg version, with a decent pub just down the road from the Faessla and Spezial brewpubs. Okay beer, but not as really-above- average as some of the others available in Bamberg. Schlenkerla - Dominikanerstrasse; D8600 Pub The home of Brauerei Heller's famous Schlenkerla Rauchbier, in two varieties, Maerzen and Bock. Intensely smoky, has to be tasted to be believed. The Bock provides a substantial kick, and is only available during the cooler months. Extremely popular at all times, both with locals and with tourists. Spezial - Obere Koenigstrasse 10; D8600 (0951)24304 Brewpub The Spezial is right across the street from the Faessla. It's good, real good, and another place to try the famous Bamberger Rauchbier, and Spezial's is distinctively smoky. Be ready to order when the waitress shows up, 'cause the place fills up and gets busy every day, and the service is no-nonsense. Besides, a half-liter of Spezial Rauchbier is just what you want right now, isn't it? Bayreuth: Maisel's Brewery Brewery - Maisels has a brewery museum which is open Monday-Thursday Bonn: Boennsch Hausbrauerei - Sternbruecke 4; D5300 Brewpub The laws on brewing Koelschbier also allow it to be made in Bonn, and this brewpub takes advantage of this by putting its own spin on the style - cloudy, astringent, and pale, served in a glass unlike any you've ever seen, designed to fit your hand. Then, rather than just calling it 'koelsch', they call it 'Boennsch', a unique brew, and only avaiable here. Darmstadt-Eberstadt: B. Maruhn, Groesste Biermarkt der Welt - 1000 Pfungstaedter Strasse; () Beer Store, the Largest Beer Store in the World Supposedly over 900 different beers! The store's price-labels claim 2225 Sorts of Beer. It's quite big, easily the biggest store of its type in Germany (in fact, it's bigger than some supermarkets). Vast selection of German beers, and imports are well-represented too. Who *is* this pretender in Tokyo, which claims to be the biggest? Harrumph! The owner, Bruno Maruhn, is a nice enough guy, and is always interested in new and different beers. Dortmund: Hoevel's - Hoher Wall; D4600 Brewpub Dortmund's first brewpub in a long time, given Dortmund's penchant for big, industrial beer companies. Home of Hoevel's Bitterbier, good on draught and available to take home in ceramic-stoppered bottles. Copper- coloured, more malty than bitter, perhaps, but very fresh. Owned by the Thier brewery, and located at their main plant. Wenker's - Marktplatz; D4600 Brewpub A worthy competitor to Hoevel's, but offering a very different beer, the cloudy, pale Wenker's Urtrueb. Available for take-home in big two- liter bottles. Owned by the Kronen brewery. Duesseldorf: Ferdinand Schumacher - Oststrasse; D4000 Brewpub Good, fresh altbier, served in a big, bustling pub a short walk from the main train station. Schumacher's also has a branch in the Altstadt. Food's not bad either. Like all of the Duesseldorf home-brew pubs, your altbier comes in 0.25 liter glasses, at about a dollar or so a glass. They are replaced as you empty them, and a tally is kept on your beer-mat. When done, the beer-mat can be placed on top of the glass, a signal to the blue-aproned Kellner (waiter) that you're ready to pay up. Also available to go in liter bottles. Im Fuechsen - Ratingerstrasse, Altstadt; D4000 Brewpub Big pub, and extremely popular. Packed more often than not, but half the fun is in sharing a table. Yeasty, flavourful altbier. Narrow entryway, for people to come in and have a beer at the stand-up bar. Opens to a big room that holds at least a couple of hundred. Extremely popular at weekends, and deservedly so. The entryway also has a cashier's box, where you can order half-liter bottles (and kegs) to take home. Zum Uerige - Bergerstrasse, Altstadt; D4000 Brewpub Old-fashioned and most-beloved of the Altbier brewpubs, well-balanced and smooth altbier. A bit smoky perhaps (and no non-smoking section), but this is an altbier that you do not want to miss. If you sit in the big central room near the brewery section of the pub, you get to see the staff roll out fresh barrels of altbier, which are then hoisted on to the bar-counter and tapped - no carbon dioxide, no beer-engines, just a hammer and a tap, and gravity does the rest. No waiting around for people to order a beer, either - the barkeeps just fill up the glasses with fresh, foamy altbier, and the waiters show up with trays full of empty glasses (ready for the dishwasher), which they trade for trays full of full ones. One of them is yours, so claim it as it comes by - don't be bashful. Zum Uerige's altbier is also available in half- liter bottles (and kegs) to take home. Zum Schluessel - Bolkerstrasse, Altstadt; D4000 Brewpub The hoppiest of the Duesseldorf altbiers, served in a recently renovated pub with lots of big rooms. Heaping platters of German food to satisfy the most ravenous of appetites. In addition to making beer for on-premises consumption, Zum Schluessel is part of the company that owns the Gatzweilers Altbier Brauerei, although knowledgable Duessel- dorfers will tell you that Gatzweilers in the bottle just isn't the same as the fresh-from-draught altbier at Zum Schluessel. Forchheim: Brauerei Neder - ; D8550 Brewpub Neder's is in the heart of town, just off of a commercial pedestrians- only street. Good place for a midday or early-evening glass of Franconian Kellerbier. Frankfurt: Zu den Zwolf Aposteln (At the Twelve Apostles) - ; D6000 Brewpub Restaurant Cloudy, yeasty lager with noticable hop flavour. Food is Yugoslavian cuisine, hearty and spicy, perfect accompaniment to the beer. If you just want a beer, there's a cellar pub downstairs, but it's quite popular, so get there early. Hoexter: Ballhaus Felsenkelller Pub. "A 'music-pub' with some 30 Sorts of beer. Fair prices, good atmosphere." (Near the river Weser, 50 kilometers east of Paderborn) (Alfons der viertel vor zwoelfte ) Koln (Cologne): Alt-Koeln - ; D5000 Restaurant Pub Kuppers Koelsch served here, the sweetest and blandest of the koelsch beers. Try it anyway, so you have a basis for comparison. The food served in the restaurant is quite good. Biggest disappointment - they no longer serve the Wiess beer. Biggest advantage - convenient location. There are smaller, pub-like rooms to the side, if you're not there to dine, one of which is called the 'Wiess-Schanke'. Yes, the Wiess-Schanke no longer serves the Wiess, at least as of March 1991. The only way the situation will change is if people start demanding it. Frueh am Dom - Am Hof; D5000 Pub Restaurant Fruity Frueh Koelsch, good food, always bustling. It's a short walk from the train station, the Dom, and the Germano-Roman Museum. Genuine Cologne-style pub, blue-aproned waiters constantly bustling by and replenishing your empty glass. Hearty food, nothing fancy, just stick- to-your-ribs-style German food. Plenty of outdoor seating, too. Gebr. Paeffgen - Friesenstrasse; D5000 Brewpub One of the classics, ten or fifteen minutes' walk west from the main shopping district. Tasty, hoppy koelsch, brewed on the premises, served by blue-aproned waiters ('Kobes') who know their job. Drain your glass, and a full one takes its place. Good, hearty food to go with it, but Koelner Kaviar may not be the ideal dish for those watching their cholesterol - it's really blood-sausage with onions. Sure tastes good with Paeffgen's koelsch, though. You'll like the style of serving here - tall, narrow cylindrical glasses, what they call 'Stange', are loaded into a serving tray that resembles the chambers of a six- shooter. Paeffgen is to Cologne and koelsch as Zum Uerige is to Duesseldorf and albtier. Actually, the tall, narrow Stange-glass is common to all koelsch pubs, and typically holds about 0.2 liter, at about a dollar a glass. There's a beer-garden out back on nice days. Malzmuehle - An der Malzmuehle; D5000 Brewpub Home of Muehlen Koelsch. Old-fashioned pub, originally the brewpub for Muehlen Koelsch, now their primary outlet. Like Frueh and Paeffgen, still quite traditional, blue-aproned Kobes serving all the koelsch you like (within reason, anyway). Traditional Cologne tavern food, too. Brauhaus Sion - Untere Taschenmacher; D5000 Restaurant Tavern Former brewpub, now Sion's showcase for koelsch and big platters of hearty German food, along with the usual Cologne specialties. Sion Koelsch is smooth and hoppy. Worth a visit. Zlata Praha - ; D5000 Restaurant - Czechoslovakian food and beer Pilsner Urquell and Budvar on draught, always; in March 1990 went to the extraordinary step of bringing in 'U Fleku' beer from the Prague brewpub of the same name. Billed as a dark Pilsner, it was, to say the least, excellent. Highly recommended, with a side order of topinky, a sort of garlic toast that goes extremely well with beer. Munich: Augustiner Restaurant Restaurant on Kaufinger/Neuhauser (the main pedestrian shopping street between Marienplatz and Stacchus) Hofbraeuhaus - Am Platzl; D8000 Pub Restaurant Beer-hall This is where every beer-drinker and tourist in Munich seems to wind up, to drink liters of the famous Hofbraeu light and dark beers, or half-liters of the wheat beer (try the Dunkel Weizen). All the hype aside, the HB beers are, in fact, quite good. The courtyard out back is really the place to go, on a nice sunny day, with perhaps a Weiss- wurst and some good rye bread on hand to make that perfect Bavarian 'Brotzeit' complete. Mathaeser Bierstadt - Bayerstrasse; D8000 Pub Restaurant Beer-hall If the tourists go to the HB-Haus, the locals visit this one, and after all, one can still get a genuine Muenchner Loewenbrau here, untainted by Miller's marketing touch. Separate halls and dining-rooms, with a cellar hall serving Loewen Weisse beers, both filtered and 'mit Hefe'. Ottbergen: Meierhof Brewpub near Hoexter, "brewing the Ottbergener Meierhof. (I know only their 'Dunkel', but I think, they brew also a 'Helles')." (Alfons der viertel vor zwoelfte ) Paderborn: Bierland - Elsener Strasse Beer Store "well sorted Beer Store with ~200 Sorts of beer, mostly german." At W-4790. (Alfons der viertel vor zwoelfte ) Schnaittach: Brauerei Kanone - ; Brewpub Schnaittach is just a small town, up the road from Lauf-an-der-Pegnitz, not quite a half-hour's drive east of Nuernberg. Brauerei Kanone is a Hausbrauerei quite close to the center of town, filling up with regulars at about 4 or 5 in the afternoon, and serving a range of five lagers. The Dunkles Vollbier is quite tasty, and the Helles is re- freshing. Franconian country pubs like this are quite pleasant, and a polite friendliness is part of the attraction; one of the regulars comes in and gives everybody his short, personal greeting (knocking on the table and saying hello), before sitting down with a couple of friends, his beer already drawn and waiting at the table. Stuttgart: Calwer-Eck-Braeu (Stuttgarts 1. Lokalbrauerei) - Calwerstrasse 31; D7000 Brewpub Located in the fashionable Calwerstrasse, near the shopping arcade. It's up a flight of stairs, but there is a sign at street level. Good, unfiltered pale lager, and a good, light-brown, unfiltered dark wheat beer. Good quality home-made food, too; try the Maultaschen. Schwaben Brau Brewery Museum - Robert Koch Strasse 12; (0711)7370-201 Museum, open 10:30 - 5:30 TUE 8, another "Lokalbrauerei" - Tuebinger Str. 8, D7000 Stuttgart 1 Brewpub located in the basement of a office/shops building. Good, cold, unfiltered pale lager, nice atmosphere (sometimes the music is too loud though), reasonable food Velburg-Lengenfeld: Gasthaus Winkler - ; (09182)326 Brewpub Restaurant Hotel Home of Kupfer Spezial, a reddish-brown beer of good body and character. Also a Pils, a Helles, and an Export. The restaurant's food is quite good, the hotel clean, comfortable, and very reasonably priced. It's out in the country, a half-hour to 45 minutes' drive down the Autobahn, southeast of Nurnberg.
