OK, I stand corrected. They're a chain with around 50 locations, mostly in the Midatlantic, Southeast and Midwest. On the other hand, each location seems to act like a local beer connoisseur's bar. If you look at their bar in, say, Easton, OH, you can see that they serve beers from Brew Kettle, a local Ohio microwbrewery. Switch to Raliegh, NC, and they don't serve Brew Kettle beers, but they do serve beers from Big Boss, Foothills, and other small local North Carolina microbrewers. Each World of Beer bar location that I've looked at has had some unusual local beers. They seem to go to a lot of effort to source their beer locally, and to be part of their community.
Personally, I'd rather support a national chain that sells locally made products (like, for example, Somerville Brewing Company's Slumbrew) than a locally owned bar that sources all of its products from multinational chains like Budweiser, Miller, and Coors.
