As others have pointed out, The Flying Saucer is a good choice. Maybe
an even better one would be The Gingerman at McKinney & Boll. If you
go there, be sure it's a nice Saturday or Sunday afternoon and you can
hang out on their double-decker back patio. The place will be mostly
empty and those that are there will be hanging out with their dogs on
the porch most likely.

The Gingerman takes great care of their beer and generally tries to
serve each one in it's particular glass type and temperature. Also,
they will give you an 8oz sampler glass of anything they have so you
risk little!

Here are some suggestions that won't shock your tastebuds too much ;-)
Young's Double Chocolate Stout
Fuller's London Pride
Chimay Cinq Cents (or "white" as it's sometimes called)
Hoegaarden

If you get daring ask if they have Sierra Nevada Bigfoot, it's in
season right now and they should have it. It is what's known as a
"Barley Wine" style ale. Huge hop and malt tastes and around 10%
alcohol to warm you up (you don't buy this one in 12 packs)!

Good Luck!
