    There is a local place about ten seconds drive from where I work that opened up recently called "Millions of Beers". No shit, that is the name. Someone on Facebook rolled in and took a picture of their tap list.....bottle list is no better.

    So you ever had a place pop up like this that you thought would be a great craft centric place offering delicious beers only to be disappointed when you went there/found out the truth?

    10 seconds drive. Is that even worth starting the car for? :wink:

    To answer the OP's question, I have never been duped that badly. "Millions of Beers"? Wow.

    Loose Cannon, and then I'd hit the road.

    I am rarely duped because I am skeptical about new start ups until they can prove themselves. I am more than willing to give someone a fair shot but too many people out there are simply trying to capitalize on the market go about it half-assed.

    This is how it's done near me. Usually it's even better than this!

    There is s place by me that brags about their beer list- 101 bottles and 50 drafts.
    Their beer list includes Three Floyd's and Russian River which isn't distributed here in NJ.
    I am sure there are others but I haven't bothered studying the list that intently.
    I can't say I was duped because I have never gone there but I assure others have been duped.

    I went to a bar on City Island in the Bronx called "Beer Garden". They had list of 5 bottles, including 3 BMCs, Blue Moon and Magners. On tap I think they had Bud.

    I stuck with bloody maries.

    Where is that list. Very often in the summer I find myself in Saratoga. I would love to go.

    If they have a location in Atlantic City, I have been there and was indeed duped (not as it relates to RR or Three Floyds; more them having only half of what was advertised, which included nothing desirable).

    That looks good to me, but to be fair with a name like that it should have some more stuff. But if I walked to a bar like that I could have in order a Fat Tire to start, then a couple Flying Dog Doggie style pales, Sam Seasonal and last a Snow Day and go home just happy as all hell. But that is me, I do not care for super limited crap marked up like crazy because they know people like well me will go in and pay that mark up. I would rather drink them at home at my local stores crazy mark up! haha I kid though, anyway I would still go there if it was 10 seconds from my job.

    I'd bring a keg to that place and open hand smack the owner in the face!
