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.]
 
Last Sunday I stopped by Growler's in Gaithersburg. At the time, they had:

Nut Brown Ale (my fave)
I.P.A.
Irvington Pale Ale (the hoppiest damned beer I've ever tasted)
Cream Ale
Kolsch
Pumpkin Ale

and they were pouring Shiner Hefeweizen and Guinness, but you can't buy those in a growler.

I intend to stop by tomorrow to grab a couple pints. :rockin:
 
One of the brew pubs has their 7Cs APA on tap and it's amazing. I think I should try to make it sometime! In case you were wondering the 7Cs refers to all 7 'C' hops.

The New Old Lompoc Brewery in Portland does the same thing with their Double IPA. It's called C-Note. Brewed with all hops beginning with the letter C. They also make a slightly different version for the holidays, darker and a bit hoppier called C-Son's Greetings.
 
Not going to list them all, but the newest beers at my bar:

Anchor Christmas
Real Ale Shade Grown Coffee Porter
Unibroue Maudite
Young's Double Chocolate Stout
Young's Winter Warmer

Hopefully we'll be getting a couple Live Oak beers, which come out of Austin, TX, soon.
 
On tap at the place I have to pass walking to and from work every day:

Cantillon Gueuze - Monk's Café Cuvee
Chimay Triple (aka Cinq Cent)
Chouffe Houblon
Delirium Tremons
Geant's Goliath
Hoegaarden
Kwak Pauwel
Lindemans Framboise
Monk's Café Flemish Sour Red Ale
Rodenbach GRAND CRU
St. Bernardus ABT 12°
Ephemere Apple
Sly Fox Pale Ale
Dupont Biere de Miele
Regenboog t'smitje Speciale
Middle Ages 10th Anniversary Ale
Russian River Pliny the Elder

I won't even go into the bottles. :drunk:
 
I hope your passing on your way to work and STOPPING on your way home. This Sounds like Monk's Cafe. I have never been but my wife travels extensively with work and gets to Philadelphia quite often. I live vicariously through her.

Mackinaw Brewing Company:

Grand Traverse Golden, Peninsula Pale Ale, Red 8 Ale, Beadle's Best Bitter, Harvest Moon Oatmeal Stout, "The Bridge" Nut Brown Ale, Belgian Whitecap and one of their seasonals is a Barleywine served in a snifter.

Northpeak Brewing Company:

Shirleys Stout, Steelhead Red, Mission Point Porter, Pale Ale, couple others which I forget their names at the moment (normally get the darker beers here). Their seasonals right now are a engine Honey Brown, Christmas Beer and a Munich Helles.

I need to make another stop at both here sometime soon, they usually change their 7th and 8th taps every 3-4 weeks.

I am so jealous of you west coast bastards, with your awesome beer selections. At my local spot, we have been slacking on getting new stuff. Never got the Live Oak stuff, but we have all of Real Ale's year-round selection:
Full Moon Pale Rye
Fireman's #4 (Blonde)
Brewhouse Brown
Rio Blanco Pale

We also have St. Arnold's Oktoberfest, and we had their Divine Reserve #8, a limited edition Scotch ale, but that's almost blown out. The best beer we've gotten this year is probably Abita Andygator, which is a Helles Doppelbock. I have yet to meet someone that's tried it and hasn't liked it.
