My current travels to Seattle made me think of this one; what's the best beer you've had at an airport? (And which airport was it?)


Chicago O'hare now has a little Goose Island beer stand (Right next to the "Col O'hare" plane, if you want to ask someone there where it is), that's probably the best I've found at an airport.
[Edit] They carry 5 or 6 different Goose Island beers; which is quite impressive for an airport stand.

Brussels and Amsterdam Schipol have some great beers available in duty free (or the little food shop outside the secure area in Amsterdam), but I don't remember anything worth writing about within the terminal or that you could drink there....

Adnam's Bitter at The Tin Goose, Heathrow Terminal 1 departures. Always in great condition.

Must look out for that bar. The bar halfway down the tunnel to the Irish flights is pretty poor.

I had a couple of nice pints of Hobgoblin in a Terminal 1 bar that had "barrel" in the name when waiting for my flight to be cancelled in December.

If flying from Terminal 4 in JFK (Aer Lingus terminal) the Palm Bar and Grill has great food and Brooklyn beer on draft. It's a much better option than going through security where you'll only find an Irish pub full of lager-swillers waiting to board. A nice steak and craft beer before the flight beats an inflight meal every time.

The landside Wetherspoon, The Skylark, occasionally has interesting guest beers.

The Tin Goose has Doombar and Bombadier at the moment. I really like the latter on cask.

-There's a bar all the way to the left after you come out of the security check in T5 at Heathrow that also has Bombadier in bottles at the moment.
(I don't know the name; sorry..)
