For those with a broader taste than just beer, there's the Melbourne Supper Club.
Their drinks book is about 40 pages. Lots of fine wines, a page of ports, a page of gins, a couple of pages of beer, and so on.
First time my wife and I went there, the conversation with the waiter went like this:
Waiter: Will you be having drinks?
Me: I'll have a <some beer - I can't remember>.
Waiter: uh-huh.
Friend: Yeah, I'll have that too.
Waiter: uh-huh.
Wife: I'll have a G&T thanks.
Waiter: Which gin will that be <turns>
