We went to a rapidly-expanding restaurant chain with 550 beers on the menu

Whether you want a Polish Pilner, a Brazilian Schwarzbier, or a Brooklyn Lager, you don't need to travel the world over - just head to World of Beer.

This national chain of beer taverns started in 2007 and has grown to over 70 locations in 21 states, including its first New York City tavern which opened Monday.

World of Beer boasts an impressive international selection of over 500 bottled beers and 50 on tap, ranging from well known brews to uncommon oddities.

Also on their menu is an array of pub fare as well as craft cocktails. They even offer a weekend "BEERunch", serving a beer-inspired brunch with items like Belgian Beer Waffles and "Beermosas".

We got a sneak peek of World of Beer's new 5,000 square-foot location in Chelsea, and here's what we found.
