Best of Metromix New York 2011Beer Bar
"I've figured out an alternative to giving up my beer. Basically, we become a family of traveling acrobats." Homer Simpson speaks the truth, at least when it comes to beer. And we're talking good beer: local suds, microbrews, limited-edition cask ales. These five spots offer more than the usual Coors and MGDs, with no need for traveling acrobatics.
And the winner is…

what's with the 3 pilsner glasses up top? Just like there are other kinds of beer there are other kinds of glassware to serve them in.
