In Union Station's old baggage house there is a different type of brewhouse. The atmosphere combines niceties of the past along with the intrigue of the future. To make you feel comfy the restaurant uses lots of wood, plump couches, picnic tables, fireplaces, and saucers... yes, saucers. They are everywhere -- check out the Blue Willows that have landed on the ceiling. Theres a poolroom, a beer garden, and a tap wall full of well-known and obscure, domestic and international draughts ($2.50 to $12 per pint). For 10 bucks you can even join the UFO club. After drinking 200 different beers, your name is engraved on a brass saucer and displayed in the bar's 'ring of honor.'

Get to the 'ring of honor' quicker, or at least cheaper, by showing up early in the week. Specials such as Monday Pint Nite gets you anything on the tap wall for a measly $2.50. For a chaser, without chasing down a Brinks, try Tuesday's 2-4-1 shots. And finally, add to your personal glass collection on Wednesdays when it's Brewery Nite-Flying Dog-U Buy the Beer-U Keep the Glass Nite -- perfect for practicing your 'ring of honor' tasting at home. -- Rebecca Malone Melo
