Mission Dolores, at the bottom of Brooklyn's Park Slope neighbourhood, is a converted auto garage with its roof cut off and a lovingly selected daily draught beer selection.
The "house" draught beers include selections from prominent forward-thinking Scottish breweries, such as Fyne Ales, Tryst, Alechemy and the excellent Cromarty, while the guest taps and bottles roam further afield, from Bristol's Wild Beer to Copenhagen's Mikkeller.
The White Horse also carries a very impressive selection of draught and bottled lagers, US and continental beers.
It serves their four types of craft beers on draught and also a selection of freshly cooked food.
Such knowledge and enthusiasm is equally evident at the bar, where the staff are ready with tasters and advice to help you navigate that selection of draught beers from, for instance, Kernel, Thornbridge, Siren, Wild Beer, Beavertown.
The Smoke Haus (craft beers from £3.95, Mary Ann Street) has Brooklyn Lager and Anchor Steam on draught and carries a small selection of bottles: Goose Island, Sierra Nevada (its porter, unusually) and Flying Dog.
A favourite of locals and visitors alike, the bar serves a selection of imported draught beers and local wines from the nearby Bandol and Bellet regions.
For brew buffs, there's no better selection than the draught-happy Tapwerks, boasting hundreds of varieties of beer.
Its 240-capacity main room puts on a revolving cavalcade of live music, theatre, literature, comedy, film, visual art, circus and cabaret; in the singularly snug Green Room, it's much the same but on a smaller scale, with the addition of resident DJs, pizzas and a solid selection of crafts and draughts.
Whether your team wins or loses will be inconsequential if you self-medicate on one of the 40 beer selections from over 126 draught taps.
