    Damn, that list is a punch in the gut if I ever saw one.

    Who even bothers to write "Miller Light" on a chalkboard? If this weren't real, it could be a cartoon in BA magazine.

    That is how it is done near me. Well, how it was done near me before I graduated and moved to VT.

    If the place was called anything other than Millions of Beers I might have given it a pass, but this really irked me. We have a pizza place down the street that puts on stuff like FW 16th, FBS, Two Hearted, Racer 5 etc and this is the best a place with that name can do?

    This is the Belgian board at my usual watering hole:

    The best part is their prices are pretty good. Many beers are about a buck or two more than what you'd pay in a store.

    In addition, they have another board with about 15 drafts that frequently change. Always some good stuff, Heavy Seas, FSW, Lagunitas, Oskar Blues, SN. DFH, etc. No duping here

    Yeah, I would be disappointed too given the name, but that list is better than 95% of the lists at places in my area. An IPA, much less a black IPA, is a rare commodity on draft here. :confused:

    The name is stupid but that lineup isn't the worst thing I've ever seen. You've got 8-9 legit craft taps, most of which will presumably be rotating. Given how close it is to you, it's probably well worth your time and effort to visit frequently and try to push them into a few more adventurous offerings. They'll ultimately put whatever sells on tap.

    "Yes, what can you tell me about the hop profile of this 'Bud Light.' I'm not familiar with that one."

    Ugh

    Ya, the name would be my only gripe, but it got you in the door so I guess it did its job, so I guess the more I think about it I would be a little upset to, but if the prices are good I would still make it a stop every once in while.

    I like how this turned from a "Ever been duped?" thread into a, "My craft bar is bigger than yours!" thread.

    If only they had Miller Lite instead of the Miller Light they wrote. After all, it tastes great AND is less filling.
