Finding great beer used to mean seeking out that hole-in-the-wall bar or discovering a local purveyor with a passion for barley and hops or even trolling eBay for bottles of Thomas Hardy's Ale, the Dom P�rignon of beer. Now some of the country's best restaurants are offering craft beers--produced by small, independent brewers--on the menu and often suggesting food pairings...
Gramercy's beer list includes selections from North America, Europe and Japan, with bottles dating as far back as 1993 and ranging in price from $13 for a Hitachino Celebration Ale to $23 for a Thomas Hardy's Ale. Higgins Restaurant, an upscale bistro in Portland, Ore., even offers a short list of after-dinner beers. In March the Sheraton hotel chain Four Points named a chief beer officer to oversee its new lists of imported and regional craft beers. Meanwhile, waiters at the Michelin-starred Spotted Pig restaurant in New York City gently explain to patrons that cask-conditioned...
...what does more interesting beer taste like? The Hitachino Celebration Ale is brewed with orange peel, coriander, nutmeg and cinnamon.

Lees Harvest would go well with a ginger cake, while the 1993 Thomas Hardy's is so rich and sweet, it could stand up to a Stilton...
...live? That's a question we should all ask ourselves quite regularly, because that way you get to do all the things you want to do before you die. My own "last day on earth" list would include an array of English delights: a pint of Harveys real ale in my village pub (the Royal Oak in Newick, East Sussex), a champagne picnic at Lord's Cricket Ground in London during a test match, an hour spent staring wistfully at the goalmouth in Arsenal's new Emirates Stadium, lunch at the Ivy, dinner at Le Caprice, and a night...
...Guinness, and Bud Light, among others, in two-dollar pints. Also on tap is house beer Harpoon 1636, which project manager Zachary A Corker ’04 rightly referred to as a “truly ambrosial brew.” It’s a heavier ale, not unlike Newcastle Brown, and an excellent opportunity to gloat to your friends at state school until they begin to hate you. We only hope the Pub’s popularity persists. Much of its work is already done: it’s gorgeous, has cable, and offers up cheap brews...
