Message bytemesis P beers 15319 º places 1595 º 21:41 Wed 11/12/2014 Originally posted by jlruthven I think the Phoenix airport (I was there waiting on a connector) had a bunch of Deschutes on tap, which was cool. Didn’t order any because I was heading to Portland, so...why? I seem to recall Phoenix having a faux brewpub, which was kind of annoying. I had no idea you could get Heady Topper at Burlington - will need to look harder next time! Goose island pub in O’hare has some decent bottles. Usually have BCS, for example. Philly has a pretty good bar with a solid tap list; name escapes me.

It’s cool, but the problem is that there’s really not any reason to hang out in that airport...takes 5 minutes to get through security and there aren’t any layovers.
Message Lowenbrau P beers 5865 º places 432 º 14:45 Thu 11/13/2014 I think the most interesting beer selection i´ve seen in an airport was a Wetherspoon Pub (The Windmill)in London Stansted. Some british cask ales, Goose Island IPA, several BrewDog.... apart from that mainly swill. I remeber buying a 1 liter Faxe can in some german airport...

Message jackl beers 8677 º places 740 º 15:09 Thu 11/13/2014 Today’s probably been my best day ever for airport beer hunting. I enjoyed a can of Hop, Drop ’n Roll while on a layover in Charlotte, and am now sipping a Surly Darkness in Minneapolis Airport. Not fucken bad.
Message Quevillon P beers 3376 º places 394 º 16:40 Thu 11/13/2014 Originally posted by b3shine I’m sitting in Burlington, VT waiting for our ride to pick us up and enjoying a can of fresh Heady Toppper, and it got me thinking: what are the best beers you’ve seen available at an airport, and what airport was it? You win!
