The best bars for beer

“Venice is so focused on wine, spritz and grappa that beer enthusiasts may feel a little hard done by,” writes Anne Hanley at The Telegraph. But if you know where to look, she says, there are a few places that “swim against the tide, championing Italy's recent craft beer renaissance.” One is Il Santo Bevitore, a “welcoming corner bar just off busy Strada Nuova, which bills itself as 'Venice's best pub',” where beers on tap include Guinness, Pauwel Kwak, “and an Italian bitter with the curious name of 'Punks Do It Bitter'.” For guides to bars that specialise in beer, go to this one at Foursquare.
