    Wow, those are some high prices. My local store was selling Sucks at $3/~14 oz tulip when they had it on tap. They usually have ST stouts at $5-6 for the same size pour. Granted, it's a beer and wine store with 16 taps.

    Current list is

    Dogfish Head Hellhound on My Ale
    Green Flash Palate Wrecker
    Dupont Speciale Belge
    Terrapin Wake n Bake
    Foothills Seeing Double
    St. Bernardus Christmas Ale
    Epic Blue Law Porter
    Anchor Old Foghorn 2011
    Foothills Torch Pilsner
    Olde Hickory Death By Hops
    Ska Euphoria
    Dogfish Head Bitches Brew
    Southern Tier Choklat
    Sierra Nevada Bigfoot 2012
    Dark Horse Tres Blueberry Stout
    Lagunitas A Little Sump'n Wild

    Wouldn't it be ironic if both of these places were owned by the same person... mind blown!

    I used to travel to Orlando for business, and the Orlando Miller's location was where everyone went after work. They were really proud of themselves for having Shipyard Export and Seadog Bluepaw on draft all the time.

    Ummm....I'm from freaking MAINE. These beers are not exotic or interesting to me. Really.

    For the sake of the residents of Huntington, please do not start another pizza joint/bar. Don't get me wrong though. I love pizza and I love beer, but we already have far too many of these places. Two of these types of restaurants have popped up within the past year. I don't mean to shoot down your idea, but this area is already over-saturated. Maybe open up two separate businesses? Also, it is illegal to sell beer from Kentucky (or any other state for that matter) in WV.

    Hey guys, the thread is titled "ever been duped by a so called "beer bar?" not "show off your beer-bar dicksize to everyone."

    OT, the bars in Madison seem to advertise fairly, so I can't recall having this problem, thankfully.

    OMG I don't even have words! I graduated from Union a few years back, as did my younger sister last year. If this place had existed back in my day...holy hell I would have been selling a kidney by senior year. And only a block from campus! WHAT A PLACE. I never thought I'd see the day Schenectady would have such a fine watering hole. Enjoy it for those nearby

    My suburb is nothing but some chain restaurants with your typical selection of Canadian/US/Euro macros. If I'm going to go hang at a bar I always head downtown. 25 minute bus ride in and a $25 cab fare back.

    The tap list the OP showed isn't the worst I've seen and It's better than any place within a couple kilometres from my place.

    Eventually they will have sold one million and one beers, on draft and in bottle, and won't you be the fool?

    Did you try a mix? I'm betting Tire Tread is Fat Tire and Snow Day. Legendary Apple is the Legend and the cider. English Haze is Purple Haze and ??? Cannonball is the Heavy Seas and ...Doggie Style? Black and Blue is Guinness and Blue Moon? These actually sound repulsive.

    Is it not better to have a few macro micros and some BMC than nothing at all? I agree that the name is misleading, but as our movement grows, we need to learn that some people will take baby steps (and stay there) and others will run the full mile. I still would rather see the list you posted than an all BMC menu.

    They are all over the place down here... and their food ain't half bad.

    However, we always used to call them Lager House because they never have any actual Ales on tap.

    I find that hard to believe...they'd be fined out the ass for doing it. There was a bar in New York state somewhere where the owner was driving to Wisconsin and picking up cases of Spotted Cow to sell and got caught and lost his liquor license for a year and was fined I want to say $50k but I could be wrong on that number. It was a few years ago.
