Labatt 50 was originally called Labatt Canadian Ale in Quebec and the Maritimes (1950-1959) before Molson Canadian was 'a thing'

All well and good Budweiser, but Molson beat you to it with their Canuckian or Hoserbrau or Canadian or whatever the hell it is.

That's pretty awesome. There's a couple places here in Reno with a heavy lean towards local stuff, but none are all local, and none have 100+ taps. On one hand, that'd be great if it covers a big area/lots of breweries. On the other, a lot of the local stuff they DO end up getting (here at least, with a few exceptions) is stuff you can regularly find at the brew pubs.

Flying Saucer in Nashville has around 100 taps, many local.

I would have thought this was a common thing. There are several bars in Vancouver and Toronto that serve only locally made craft beers. C'est What in Toronto has been doing it for over 30 years, aside from a few Quebec beers on tap (Unibroue, Dieu du Ciel, Trou du Diable), they have served over 4,000 Ontario craft beers from 140 different breweries in that time, There are currently 7-8 bars in Toronto which only serve Ontario craft. There was a bar in Vancouver several years ago that only served BC craft beers too. Now, if they would only get to 100 taps, that would be a good story.
The Old-Fashioned in Madison has 52 Wisconsin beers on tap, and another 79 in bottles/cans. Representation from virtually every brewery in the state. And their beer-battered cheese curds are pretty good too! http://www.theoldfashioned.com/beer-and-spirits/
That's really, really freakin' cool. We're going to have guest taps at our brewery, and we intend for everything to be brewed in CT or RI. There are bars around here with a focus on local, but none that exclusively sell CT beer that I know of.

A local place opened up a few months ago featuring only Iowa made beers on their 108 taps! [url]http://iowataproom.com/[/url] I was just wondering if anyone has seen something similar in their area? A bar that features beer only from their state or something similar. Is this unique or a coming trend toward pushing local beers?
