If you haven't already, try out Phantom Canyon downtown.  When they
first opened the beer was stored in the cellar (at cellar temp)
and hand-pumped up at the taps.  This didn't last long because
the bartenders didn't like it and too many customers wanted colder
beer, but they still make some great brews.  They generally only
have one token dark brew, but they occasionally have a barley wine
that's just stellar.

The Warehouse also has some wonderful brews (especially their bitter)
and their food is enjoyable as well.
