Hickory Tavern The Fox and Hound Flying Saucer Revolution Pizza Hickory and Fox and Hound have a wide selection, but it's mainly domestic or common imported beers. Revolution Pizza is pretty good. I have not tried the Flying Saucer yet because it's a tad far from me. Can anyone help me find some really unique beers on draft in a non-smoky bar type environment? I'd love to find some frou-frou place that serves beer in glasses proper to the type of beer. Thanks!

I know of several places with solid selections but not as extensive as the others mentioned (although I've never been to Hickory Tavern or that Fox and Hound).

I have already missed at least one of his special beer dinners, but intend to make it to one soon.

Pizza Peel is a good suggestion, especially since Tim Schaffer came on. The original beer bar here is Hotel Charlotte, although they're known more for their bottles than drafts. Don't underestimate Brixx, they get some great beers in. I seem to remember the Wolfman in Myers Parks having one or two uncommon in Charlotte (Jever for example.) Common House has Chimay and Stone IPA. Hawthornes Pizza sometimes has some good ones on special. Duckworth's has a surprisingly good list. Upstairs from Duckworths is Tavern on Park which has a few good taps although I don't think they have the proper glassware. I could go on but some of the places I'm thinking of don't maintain their lines as well as I like. Sat Jun 27 13:01:30 -0700 2009 4804749 255910 billyjack 2 4812066 Great post. Lots of info. Thanks!

Here is a link that shows their menu (make sure to check out their drink specials during the week): http://forms.360charlotte.com/1832/menu.pdf http://www.360charlotte.com/Restaurants/SixPenceRestaurantandPub.html Sat Jun 27 20:38:38 -0700 2009 4804749 323226 sweettater 1 4812433 I'll add that, while Common Market doesn't have a wide selection on tap (they have a great bottled selection), they always keep 2-3 interesting beers on tap that won't find other places. This is the one in Plaza-Midwood, not the one in SouthEnd. Sir Edmond Halley's has a solid selection. Hef's doesn't have a wide selection, but I've seen some interesting beers there. Sun Jun 28 06:24:30 -0700 2009 4804749 179905 ickymettle 2 4820293 I meant to include Hef's. They usually have 1 or 2 great taps. I think Vintner Wine Market in the Arboretum had a tap or two but I could be dreaming that. Tue Jun 30 23:51:41 -0700 2009 4812433 255910 billyjack
