THE BREWSPAPER / BEER GROUP NAMES SANTA CLARA BAR TOPS IN CALIFORNIA

Each year, CraftBeer.com produces a list of 50 Best Bars in America—one per state, including Washington, DC and Puerto Rico–to create the annual Great American Beer Bars list.

This year, CraftBeer.com claims the Best Beer bar in California is Taplands in Santa Clara.

One step into Taplands and you’ll know it was founded by craft beer lovers. With a vision to be the center of craft beer discovery in Silicon Valley, this California beer bar aims to be the neighborhood spot where beer aficionados and newbies alike can feel right at home. Inspired by the Disneyland map (think Frontierland and Futureland), Taplands offers 25 continuously rotating handles, including one or two of their own beers produced by the onsite nanobrewery.
