We were at a random little tavern near my mother-in-law's place, can't remember the name of the place but I think we were in Hammonsport, NY (Finger Lakes area).
The beer menu was so gorgeous, I had to take a photo...
That's just bottles, I didn't get a shot of what they had on tap.
My local is Golden Valley Brewery and it only serves Mark's brews. His seasonals include IPA Brut, Octoberfest and Tannen Bomb, a winter warmer. The other seven taps are all stock offerings.
[Sometimes he'll have a guest tap, but not very often. The Oregon Hotel has a wide variety of microbrews, but I don't go there much.]
