The one place that has been around longest and probably one of the first in the area to get rid of bud and only have craft of tap would be Andy's Corner.
Owned originally by Andy Gray and now George Gray, this bar is literally a place where everyone knows your name. Only it's cooler because he has 12 taps continually rotating the best beers around.
A review I wrote in Beer Advocate:
Truly a great bar and for more reasons that just great beer. The people that go there are not only from the neighborhood but from other close by states and while there are a lot of regulars and it's somewhat a cheers atmosphere, this is the kind of place most people would be comfortable in. The Bartender / Owner George is exceptional. Very knowledgeable, and one of the things I love about this place is that all the beers are served in their proper glassware not just everything in a pint glass kind of a deal.
Did I mention how good the beer was? It's rotated regularly and there's always a representation of all different kinds of ales, IPAs stouts, pilsners, etc. There is also almost always a English style cast conditioned beer or two for you to try. That in itself is pretty hard to find.
I also want to mention he has a 100 beers club. By the order of the Foam Fraternity.
You drink a hundred beers and your name goes up on a plaque and suddenly you've become immortal. Way cool!
My wife and I just did it after trying for 5 years just a week ago. I got most of my education of beer in on beer here thanks to George. Best part of everything is I live within stumbling distance.
