What Airports Really Need: Better Beer

It's nice that airports are classing up their dining options to please discerning gourmands, but what about those who just want a beer to steady their nerves before flying? Until recently, the beer menus at most airport bars didn't have much beyond the offerings of mass-market brewers. A new guide from cheapflights.com, however, suggests that lovingly-crafted microbrews are finally penetrating a market that's historically been the province of bland, generic lagers, pointing out fifteen U.S. airports where it's possible to enjoy a pint of good stuff - like Tree-Hugger Porter or Fat Tire Amber Ale - before hopping on your flight. The Beer Lovers Airport Guide highlights  some of the best watering holes in airports like Boston, Portland, and Denver. And while it'll take more than a good pub to get us to the airport any earlier than we need to be, it will take a bit of the sting out of flight delays.
