    Other than original gravity, what are the best places to go for stuff on tap. The gilroy, hollister area works as well. Thanks.

    Directly across the street from original gravity. Good karma.

    If you can make it to Morgan Hill, there's El Toro. It is a brewery with no guest taps (at least when I've been there), but they usually have like 15 or more of their own on tap. Good stuff, too. Just eat elsewhere.

    Liquid Bread in Campbell. Always some good stuff on tap and nice bottle selection. A bit pricey though

    Stop by BBQ 152 in Gilroy, it's off Monterey Rd. near first. They have 8 or 10 rotating taps and some bottles, plus the food is great. Stop in on Friday for the brisket and half off beers during happy hour. I always make a point of going when I'm in town.

    I'm pretty sure BBQ 152 is owned by the same family that owns Trail Dust in Morgan Hill and Aptos Street BBQ in Aptos. They are way into craft beer and get some great stuff. Aptos St. now sports around 25-30 taps.

    Yeah, they're definitely good people and they know what they're doing for the most part. Aptos BBQ is crazy awesome, and right by SARA to boot! 39 taps too ;-)
