Ever been duped by a so called "beer bar"?

I saw that same list and knew it culdn't be true, but mainly thanks to the folks here. In AC Mussel Bar at Revel is my craft spot on the boardwalk.

 

Thank God for Map Room

 

It took a while but I found the Millions of beers. They list 17 drafts and suggest "Try a Mix." If you are limited to two beers in the mix at half each 16x17= hundreds of beers (272)
But ( work with me here) if you start mixing say four beers 17x 16x15x14 = thousands of beers. (57120)
That's assuming equal parts of each beer in the mix.
When you consider unequal blends and you might even hit billions.

 

The owner started the conversation with me, but I didnt hold back. Im a regular now, he comes out of his way to talk to me whenever Im in. We talk football and business.

 

It was either my 1st or 2nd time in when I told him. It wasnt like "your selection sucks" but more like "I think you can be more daring with your selections". That said, big difference between the place Im talking about, which was clearly aiming at being a true craft beer bar, and the one you are talking about. The place Im talking about started with 20 taps and zero BMC beers, so he was already committed to not cater to everyone. Talking him into being more daring was merely convincing him to follow what he wanted to do. He was playing it too safe at first.

 

This tip about a great place made reading this thread worth it; I will be working in Malvern in a few weeks and can't wait to go to TJ's. Thanks

 

Where is that??

 

Where in Pa is this?

 

If it was called "Millions of DIFFERENT Beers" then I'd be mad. But for all I know they may have several million bottles of Miller Lite in the basement.

 

I do want to start my own bar with mostly Italian offerings! I think I might do well if I was to do it right!

 

All you need is some Xyauyu and Tipopils on draft, not much you do after that will matter, the bar will always be full!

this is place by my house i like to go to they have a couple brews on tap lol

 

And decorating it in good Italian fashion too!

Speaking of Xyauyu, my favorite store has the barrel aged one so I plan to pick that up soon.

 

So is it ok if a NEW beer bar bills itself as a Craft beer and specialty whisky bar to sell PBR cans and have BMC on tap next to the craft lineup? I ask because we have a new place here in Orlando, Eternal Tap. They marketed themselves before they opened as a craft beer mecca and the first picture I see from opening night has multiple PBR cans sitting on the bar. WTF! Sort of offended me. What do you think

 

out of curiosity, does the place you speak of have a name that consists of two words with the first name spelled with consonants that happen to be the first three letters of your user name?

 

Damn...dassum good stuff.

 

This is Racer's Cafe, about a 10 minute drive north of Baltimore, MD.
