Yeah, Capitol and Ale Asylum are the big breweries here in town. Capitol is a little larger and makes some tasty standard brews, the amber is their classic and they've got a decent pale ale. Ale Asylum goes for a little more in the way of extremes with a couple of damn good I/IIPAs, a dubbel, a tripel, etc. and I've never had a bad beer from them.
For bars I'd definitely suggest the Malt House, huge selection of beers both bottled and a rotating tap selection. They've got everything from local craft brews to imported Belgians. If he wants to eat as well, the Great Dane is a pretty good brewpub both food and beer-wise, and Brasserie V is a little Belgian place with another huge selection of Belgian beers on tap and in bottles (I think Mondays are $2-off bottle night at Brasserie V and its right next to one of our LHBS's, so its always a good night to stop for me!).
