These 13 bars have the most beers on tap in Sacramento

With more than 70 breweries in the greater metropolitan area and taprooms seemingly popping up in every neighborhood,Sacramento is in no danger of running out of beer anytime soon.

A few establishments' offerings go above and beyond, though. The Bee surveyed dozens of Sacramento watering holes and consulted industry workers and experts in a quest to determine which bars had the most draft beverages.

These bars had the most taps running in the Sacramento city limits as of May 31, according to their websites or staff:
