A note on ratings - anytime you have ratings, not everyone can get the top grade. That's life, right? You can safely go into all the establishments above, enjoy a beer and have a good time. However, there are some that stand out for their craft beer selection on draft. It's all about the beer! We wanted to let people know which pubs and bars had the beers we were most impressed with.
