I had my Tab picked up by some Random American(on my trip to Dark Lord Day) who was drinking "trendy" Canadian beer. I was sitting there drinking half bottles of every US beer i couldd find , We got talking, he wanted to know what i was doing, and pretty much insisted on picking up the tab after i shared them with him. Now that was some GREAT airport Beer

Silver Gulch’s brew pub at Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage, just past security is pretty good. They sell other local micros in bottles to go and growlers of their beer. I always get an assistance boarding pass when picking up my wife/kids so I can get a few ticks in before she gets back.


They have a bottle shop too, and I saw Anchorage Darkest Hour last week, among a host of others. I bought a bottle of Silver Gulch porter for, I kid you not, $2.00, and put it in my carry on. Anchorage International, where the beer is cheaper than the coffee.

Which is quite surprising. I guess maybe OAK isn’t given the perception of the city, but SFO should have some dang beer stuff besides Gordon Biersch.

Down south, even the tiny Long Beach airport has a bar with some decent beer offered. Though the much larger SNA and ONT options do not. I guess LAX has Golden Road stuff now.

Pyramid brewpub is about as good as you’ll do in either OAK or SFO.

I remember having a decent local beer at that Long Beach airport a couple years ago. I think it was a Karl Strauss beer. Not bad for a small airport.

Sweetwater at Concourse B at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta was my first encounter with craft beer on US ground and the best so far...

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?



Nothing like that + you are mean for posting this.

Admins, please smack with ban hammer!
