Naming the top drinking bars in the US is not an easy feat with so many new ones popping up, but ultimately its the changes to the beer menus / taps that should help guide this area. I do not list any bars that I have not been too, and I have been many over the last 5 years. This is ultimately a list of my favorite places and ones that you can try out and see if you enjoy them too.
California
Magnolia Brewpub – San Francisco
Toronado – San Diego / San Francisco
Monks Kettle – San Francisco
