Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
A weekly look at the draft selection in beer-friendly bars across the country.
A giant thanks to all the Slashfood readers who responded to last week's call for shoutouts of favorite beer-friendly bars. We received a whopping 43 comments naming almost 50 watering holes in 19 states.
Beyond giving Slashfoodies a chance to chime in, What's On Tap's goal was to compile a list of new bars to draw upon for future WOT posts. We've already featured places like Chicago's The Map Room, Houston's The Ginger Man and San Diego's O'Brien's Pub (though they are always worth revisiting). It's also worth noting that WOT strives to vary metropolitan areas as much as possible. For example, San Francisco's Toronado received by far the most comments, but we visited SF suds relatively recently, so don't expect a Toronado post anytime soon. (For those who cry foul, remember, WOT isn't a list of the best beer bars in each city -- just an interesting choice. Sometimes it's more adventurous to go off the beaten path.)
Using that criteria, a lot of great pubs may be bumped towards the back of the queue, such as those in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa Bay, Cambridge, Mass., and Santa Monica, Calif. After the jump, a list of bars you're likely to see in future WOT posts based on your comments.

And if you feel like straying from the major metropolitan areas, a place called the Viking Tavern in Spokane has a great list from Idaho, Montana, Washington and Oregon. Also, Dupis Boomers in Washington State University's student union building in Pullman, WA has a great list.

They serve 30 beers on tap that change often - usually one or two new ones daily. And let it be known that these are not beers to be messed with. For instance, currently there are a few tripels and Lost Abbey's heavenly quadrupel, Judgement Day. The also have their own brews on tap which are pints (or appropriate serving) that I frequent. They also have a HUGE selection of bottled beers and wine - lots of hard to find items as well. Plus, the food and servers are great and incredibly knowledgeable. If you're ever in AZ, make it a point to visit this glorious establishment.

small place with nice people. every beer that has a recomended glass to serve it in, is served in that glass. nothing like drinking an alt from dusseldorf in a .2L glass.
check it out if you have the chance. internationaltaphouse.com
