Busy bar on a Tuesday evening. Good tap list and exceptional bottle shop. No flights, but 5oz pours available I think. Also worth checking out the pizza.

Good place for Belgian beers if you live local I guess, but plenty other choices too. Pretty rammed on a Tuesday and somewhat claustrophobic in the front bar. Did 5oz pours of the imperial stouts, but not sure if standard.

Large bar which was quiet on a Tuesday afternoon. Specialising in saisons, it had a fairly extensive tap and bottle list. No flights, no 5oz pours though.

Pretty much next to Dovetail, another popular spot. Bonus points for the server being interested in Caladan Brood and Visigoth. I don't think they did flights, but 5oz pours were available.

Popular brewery with plenty of guests during my visit (why do all Americans sit at the bar when every single table is free, even when in a group of 6?). Pretty much all lager styles but some very nice smoked beers. No flights, no 5oz pours.

Small bar, fairly quiet on a Tuesday afternoon (one other person there!). Taplist was mostly hazies so I can't remember if they did flights as that would be rubbish.

Large bar, quiet on a Monday evening. Good selection. No flights but does offer 5oz pours at least. Food is delivery from a nearby pizzeria.

First venue visit off the plane. Pretty quiet around 5pm. Wide open space with a large number of beers on tap; offers flights! The food looked good but we didn't have time.
