Stone total tap take over

 

Nottingham's Robin Hood Festival last year; 1044 different cask ales from 3% to 18% ABV plus 232 ciders and perries.Difficult to get round them all.

 

Glad you enjoyed your visit !

 

Some of the best near me :

This was the taplist at Naja's Place in Redondo during their recent IPA festival. All IPAs (except that one IPL by BP) but still quite impressive:

 

Prohibition Pig in Waterbury, VT
The Armsby Abbey in Worchester, MA.
Myplace Restaurant in Newtown, CT - he had cantillion on tap when it was still avail in CT!
Blind Tiger Ale house NYC

 

Mcladden's in West Hartford, CT now has 80 craft brews on tap, they need a tv to display them all

 

The Old Fashioned in Madison, WI:
http://www.theoldfashioned.com/beer-and-spirits/
52 varieties on tap, 100 more in the bottle, all brewed in Wisconsin.

While definitely not the most varieties I've ever seen on draft, I've never even heard of any place else with a list that long all from one state.

 

Of course being open-minded, The Old Fashioned does carry one import:
Grainbelt Premium, Minnesota, $2.50

 

Prohibition Pig, Waterbury, VT, July 5th, 2013

Heady Topper
Lawson's double Sunshine
Hill Farmstead Society & Solitude 5
Allagash James Bean
Allagash Victor(ia) (not sure which)
Jack's Abby Hoponius Union
Jack's Abby Leisure Time Lager
Dogfish Head Festina Peche
Founders Imperial Stout
Maine Beer Co. Peeper
and more.

 

Yes it's hard to beat Brouwer's taps, and Bigwood is always a great event. 2010 was my favorite as I recall having/sharing:
Matt
CBS
Berserker
Fremont B-Bomb
Deviation
BA Serpent's Stout
SN BA imp porter: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/140/60069
Firestone 14

This was mostly from memory because I kept the receipt in my wallet for a few months and looked at it once in a while just for fun.

Here was the preliminary list, most made the final cut plus the CBS surprise visit:

Best tap list near my old work place in Bordentown, NJ is at Farnsworth House. Always has a solid line up.

Novare Res in Portland, ME

 

For the Craft Brewer's Conference in DC, there were some insane events, but I think Smoke and Barrel had two of the best. One night, they had a Firestone Walker and Ballast Point takeover:

Parabola
Sucaba
16th Anniversary
Double Double Barrel Ale
Velvet Merkin (Nitro)
Union Jack
Wookey Jack
Double Jack
Double Barrel Ale
Pale 31
Velvet Merlin
Pivo Pils
Walker's Reserve Porter

Sculpin IPA
Sculpin IPA (Cask)
Victory at Sea Imperial Porter
Dorado Double IPA
Longfin Lager
Big Eye IPA
Calico Amber
Thai Chili Wahoo Wheat
Indra Kunindra

Then the following day they had a Goose Island takeover:


2012 Bourbon County
Bourbon County Coffee
Cherry Rye Bourbon County
Night Stalker
Big John
Pepe Nero
Père Jacques
Matilda
Sofie
IPA
Urban 312
Honkers Ale

I went both nights. It was incredible.

 

For sheer volume the Yard House in Raleigh, for the best stuff on tap Prohibition Pig. Much more than just HT, Lawson and HF too, as well as some brews that are easily available in most craft bars. They also make killer Mint Juleps when they have fresh mint available.

 

There was a back page too. I loved that day.
