    70-90 taps!? I'm interested in seeing a lineup in the future.

    Blah. Here's what you can look forward to: "featured draughts" don't include a single craft offering. Granted there are some good beers on-tap and some fine breweries on the "rotating guest draughts" list, and the tap list will be much longer in Northampton, but I wouldn't expect much. Personally I'd take the much shorter, but better curated tap list at the Moat & Dove, Northampton Brewery or Dirty Truth, when I'm in the area. Some places can pull off the long tap lists, but I'd say very few, and the shorter, more selective lists are almost always better in my experience.

    Agree 100%. My best experiences are always with a shorter list that's done properly. I've since become skeptical with the advertisement of a large tap line.

    Agreed. There was a time when 100 rotating taps blew my mind (see Sunset Grille in Boston) but these days its all about the 20 or so select craft lines. Dirty Truth does the job for sure up there. But hey, there's always room for 1 more.

    An Irish themed bar!?!? Simply groundbreaking. How come nobody thought of this before?

    Looking forward to some deep cuts from the Diageo portfolio.
