They're reputed to have the world's largest selection of beers, though I've seen more than one place make that claim. In the case of the Brickskeller, though, it seems like they have good reason to boast - the beer menu is (based upon my last visit) about ten pages long (with tiny font print), and lists beers by name and country of origin. The downside to it all is that they run out of a lot of the more exotic beers soon after they're delivered, so you can't always get your first choice. Still, it's a great place to try new beers...

If you get to NYC, check out BeerMenus.com to find great beer and beer bars and beer events. Spuyten Duyvil in Brooklyn s there and it's good but there are many others.

About 10-15 taps, but a large menu (with sorts by beer style, and alphabetically by brewery) awaits you at the bar and they have over 500 different bottles available in their cold room, and they'll take you back there to pick a few out if you can't decide. Was just at Kennedy School a few weeks ago, not sure why it made the list, because it only offers the McMenamin's family of beers. But as far as atmosphere, it's tough to beat. Who wouldn't want to have an adult meal with adult bevs at an elementary school? Bay Area folks are definitely spoiled, but we got nothing close to what Freakin’ Frog has.
