    I don't think there is a beer on earth that comes close to the horrors of Taco Bell food.

    I hope they have some casks, like an IPA conditioned with crunchwraps, or a stout conditioned with Baja blast syrup.

    This doesn't seem odd to me. I mean the only Steak and Shake (which is a bastard version) in the Los Angeles area serves beer. But they don't in the midwest. I learned that the hard way late one night in college.

    In fact, a it seems like a lot of places that you would think wouldn't serve beer here are starting to. A lot of these places are strictly BMC, with maybe 1-3 local options. And by local I just mean the closest brewery to the place.

    Craft beer IS really popular now. They'll probably be a local option or at least fake, BMC-owned craft (Goose Island)

    This just got a whole lot more nightmarish. I take it back. I don't want this to happen anymore

    Starbucks is still going ahead with their beer/wine/ small plates concept, Starbucks Evenings, predominantly out on the West Coast. They haven't given up on that at all.

    When I read this quickly I saw, "I hope they have some caskets". Which, in reality, would make sense too.

    A few weeks ago I had a bottle of BA Ivan with regular beef soft tacos and it was pretty damn enjoyable. I eat Taco Bell with craft beer more than I care to admit.

    I also heard that they are going to be the first restaurant to install toilets into the seating booths.

    I think this is another step in Taco Bell trying to compete with Chipotle

    Maybe in big city locations this makes sense.

    In most cities/towns I bet Taco Bell (and other fast food joints) have so much of their business through the drive through at night ... so not sure if it would be legal to sell bottles through a drive through? Certainly couldn't sell drafts that way

    So many awesome taco joints around there, why you would got to taco bell is beyond me even if they do serve beer.
    La Pasadita, Flash Taco, Las Asadas to name a few....
    plus good sit down places like Las Palmas.

    I know some good taco joint but I don't wanna sit down and eat by myself so I just hit the Taco Bell Drive Thru and its cheap and fills me up. I also have a big gut going on but maybe thats from the beer.
