I’m not sure that all are available to serve on tap (as opposed to bottle form) but there is a bit of a list of what I would like to see.
Don’t put beers on tap that everyone else already has. You may be limited by who services the area the best, but everyone has beers like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
My Suggestions
Kona Longboard Lager
Widmer Drop Top Amber
Lagunitas Pale Ale
Pyramid Heff
Anything by Stone Brewery (same people who have Lagunitas)
The beers that I would like to see on tap are:
Red Seal Ale (Northcoast Brewerey)
Blue Star (Northcoast Brewerey)
Raspberry Brown (Lost Coast Brewerey)
Crystal Wheat (Sierra Nevada)
Black Current (Fox Barrel)
Thanks again for bringing something new to our community!
Can’t wait for you guys to open. I am sure you will have my five favorite beers—–
1. Widmer Hef
2. Bud Light
3. Kona Longboard
4. Firestone DBA
5. Shock Top
For a 6th I just had a Moosehead at the State Fair and I forgot about that beer. It sure tasted great!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope to see ya soon!
Here are some of my beer suggestions:
1. Sierra Nevada - especially the seasonals: Celebration Ale, Bigfoot Ale, Anniversary Ale, etc. They also put out very good specialty brews like Torpedo Ale and Harvest.
2. North Coast Brewing: Red Seal, Acme IPA.
3. I second the Stone Brewing request: great IPA and Ruination IPA - and of course Arrogant.
4. I also second the Lagunitas request.
5. Anderson Valley - Hop Ottin IPA, Boont Amber.
Looking forward to finally getting some good beer in town…
The seasonal Sierra Nevada beers are fantastic. Celebration Ale is a favorite.
For those of us that don’t drink much alcohol anymore but still love our beer please have a couple of NA’s available even if it’s in bottles. The best ones are all imports such as St. Pauli Girl NA, Clausthaler, Haacke Beck, Buckler and several others. Please don’t bother with made in USA types such as O’Douls and Sharps - Yuck!
The place looks great - I’m sure it will be an asset to our town.
Widmer Drop Top Amber Ale and Hefe
Pyramid (all 3 wheat beers)
Guinness stout and possibly guinness red but I highly doubt that one.
Harp Lager
Alaskan Amber Ale
Killians Irish Red
Wyder’s Pear Cider
Dundee Honey Brown
ESB get that on tap red hook ESB
Sasquatch made in sacramento
Try and get alot of our local beers please
We love everything from Stone, Bear Republic and Lagunitas Breweries! Also, Allagash Curieux is awesome for a more refined palate!! It is aged in Bourbon barrels and 11+ ABV! SMOOTH!!!!
I really like the full flavor of Murphys Irish stout better than Guiness.

I already suggested this to one of your waitresses! Two beers that you already have yet combined, Pear Ale & Guinness! Fill the glass half-full with the pear and then bend a spoon back and pour the Guinness over the spoon onto the Pear. As long as they are cold they will stay seperated. The flavor will be of a very overipened Pear hence the name “A Rotten Pear”
How about some Texas beers? Lone Star, Shiner Bock. Let’s get some unique ones.
I’ll vote for Killian’s Red also.
Thanks a bunch!
I have a very hard time trying to choose which beer to order at the Happy Viking. I would love to have one of every beer that you have, but that would be 800 oz. of beer. I was hoping you would have a sampler of beer. Most of the breweries around have samplers. Maybe you could do the same, the 15 most popular beers you sell or you could have 6 beer sampler of the customers choice.
Add a cider to your taps! Like Magner or Strongbow…
Love Moosehead!
How about some Chimay or Hoegaarden. And how about a $3 pint special during happy hour on the keg you need to get rid of.
Great Basin Brewery out of Sparks, Nevada has excellent beer. They do not bottle, but maybe you could swing a deal to get their product on tap! Also, Great Lakes Brewery out of Cleveland,Oh has excellent beer, and they do bottle. Hope you have powers to swing great deals with these exceptional brewers! Thanks for coming to Y.C.!!!
How about some good stouts and porters
Rogue’ Shakespear and Chocalate stouts
Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter and Black Butte XX
Labatt Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bell’s Beer from Kalamazoo Michigan. Oberon is the best but is seasonal. http://www.bellsbeer.com/
OK….how about ANCHOR Steam Beer from SF and FOSTERS on tap
mmmmm Sasquatch Ale from 6 rivers brewery
flying dog IPA
fat tire by new belgium
Mac MacTarnahan’s Cream Porter
Theakston’s Old Peculiar
Rogue Mocha Porter
…yum
Sierra Nevada - Scotch Ale
Stone - Smoked Porter
…and some Maredsous perhaps?
Love the Hemp Ale you have. Along with the Baby Blue Cheeseburger. Best Burger in town (maybe in State, Country, World?). Great beer on big island of Hawaii at Hilo (better than Kona Brewing Company). check out.

All the beers are great (even the red one that I don’t usually like.)
I’ll be flying in from Japan this September to visit my family after being away for the past 4 years. It’s great to see that there is a pub such as this in my beloved and miss hometown of Yuba City!
So yeah, I must suggest the great beers of the Land of the Rising Sun.
1. Yebisu
2. Asahi Super Dry
3. Kirin Ichiban Shibori
I’m really looking forward to some of that Fat Tire you have on tap. Haven’t had that in years.
I also must mention Yona pale ale but it would be a hard one to find for it’s a small craft beer. It one best beer in Japan in 2008.
Bells Two Hearted Ale
Chimay Bleu
Westmalle Dubbel
Orval
Leffe Bruin
Corsendonk Pater
Ciney Speciale
