Until recently airports have been some of my least favorite places to be. They remind of me of hospitals in a lot of ways, too many people coming and going, there's no way to feel like you belong in the place. Some airports are getting pretty smart about these things and they'll introduce taphouses with local flair. For me, these local taprooms are like a little anchor in a foreign place, a little stability. In Denver, I like to make my way over to the New Belgium taphouse and have a pint of something familiar, something I am already attached to. In other cities, like Salt Lake City and Atlanta, I like to go find the Sweetwater taproom or the Uinta taproom and try beers that I'm a little less familiar with. Even if I don't leave that airport I still feel like I know something about that city because of the taproom.
