We spend many Sunday afternoons at TWB for a pint and amazing entertainment. If you haven't gone, and you appreciate the local arts and music scene, I strongly recommend going to TWB on a Sunday afternoon.
The challenge I personally have is that I'm not a big fan of IPAs -- and IPA (and others of its ilk) make up the majority of many craft brewers' menus.
I'm hoping that the next stage in the evolution of craft beer will see the craft brewers specialize and develop more distinct styles rather than all of them trying to attack the same market segments (such as IPA). Until then, it's less craft beer for me and imported beers will fill that gap.
