1. High Life on Lukr tap 2. Pilsner 3. Dark Mild 4. Pale Ale 5. New England IPA 6. IPA from Maine Beer Co. 7. Any other single IPA 8. Farmhouse Ale 9. Porter 10. Guinness on Lukr tap Too often the tap lists in my area have too many higher ABV double, triple etc. IPAs. I want mine to stay in the 6.5-7.9 range. If I want a high ABV beer either I’m bringing it to share or my friends are.
I'm trying to design a menu whose style diversity and product quality appeals to beer nerds, but my main focus is running a community-focused taproom that has a warm and welcoming atmophere, space for playing games, bartenders who remember your name, and high quality but unassuming products across a wide range of styles so no matter what mood you are in, there will be something to scratch your itch. To appeal to my non-beer nerd clientele, I need something light, something sour, something hazy, and something fruity. Beyond that, I want beers that will taste great while fading into the background of conversations, board games, club meetings, and community social hours. I offer mostly low to moderate ABV options so that people can enjoy several over the course of the afternoon, or stop in for a quick pint after work without ruining their evening. 1. American pale ale (like SNPA - hoppy, not hazy, ~5% ABV) 2. Helles 3. Czech dark lager 4. Hefeweizen 5. Brown ale 6. Berliner weisse (3.5% ABV, with various fruit syrups available to mix in) 7. Farmhouse ale (a light, crisp one, 5% ABV) 8. West Coast IPA (~7%) 9. Hazy IPA (~7%) 10. Russian imperial stout (~10%)
That's sad with how close you are. Indeed. That's the fun in it, though. I mean, you can be both. I always have the best intentions of drinking beers on the lower end of the ABV spectrum, but I inevitably end up drinking IIPAs and barleywines. Is it necessarily the bigger, bolder flavors? Probably. But if brewers put more effort into making those lower ABV beer taste better, I'd drink them more often. Well . . . probably.
Earlier I posted, but totally missed that a list of styles is expected, so; English Barleywine American Imperial Stout Russian Imperial Stout Imperial Pastry Stout Belgian Quadrupel Imperial Porter Imperial Pastry Stout American Stout Pastry Stout Any Strong Ale
I read the original post as MY 10 TAPS, not a business. So these are what I'd like to keep around for me and anyone interested in joining me for free beer. I can't keep them fresh all by myself. 1. Carlsberg (of course, because I'm that guy) 2. Okocim O.K. Beer 3. New Belgium Honey Orange Tripel 4. Sullivan's Malthings Irish Ale 5. Fruh Kolsch 6. Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel 7. Newcastle 8. New Glarus Raspberry Tart or Founders Blushing Monk (these four rotate seasonally) 9a. Lakefront Maibock 9b. Weihenstephaner Festbier 9c. Eagle Park M.C. Hammerschlagen Oktoberfest or Revolution Okotberfest 9d. Alaskan Winter Ale 10. New Glarus Spotted Cow (the best "I don't like anything else on tap" beer you'll ever find) Remember, this is Beer Advocate. Not CRAFT Beer Advocate. So maybe my list isn't very crafty. And many of these don't need much advocacy in the marketplace. But it's MY 10 taps. Will you turn down free beer? If you will, I've got some cold tap water for you, which is better than Michelob Ultra.
I'd be pretty content with these 10.. 1 WC IPA 2 Black IPA 3 Baltic Porter 4 English Barleywine 5 Imperial Red Ale 6 Tripel 7 Czech Dark 8 Doppelbock 9 Hazy DIPA 10 BA Imperial Stout If there was an 11th slot, I'd work in a WC pilsner or a Helles Cheers!
I'd be perfectly happy with this lineup as long as flights and fish & chips were available. (Damn, I miss The Brass Tap! )
Pub name: 'Waltz Inn, Stumble Out" Winner, winner, chicken dinner! I'll have wings, fries, and a flight.
You can expect to pay about $26.61 9before tax and tip) for that taster tray. We'll be discouraging folks from ordering them.
Agreed - But I’m old enough I don’t want to waste my beer calories or effort on anything I don’t like
1. Koelsch 2. Czech Pils 3. ESB 4. English Porter 5. Irish Stout 6. Russian Imperial Stout 7. Belgian Pale 8. Belgian Quad 9. Berliner Weiss 10. Barleywine. English or American. I'd want the Berliner weiss to be German, maybe some syrup for those who like it. The Barleywine shouldn't be barrel aged. I've been drinking a lot of barrel aged and I need a break. Maybe when one of the taps blows!
No, we're a cheese and charcuterie based kitchen. Only meal offered is full Irish, sourced through Fergus Kennedy (also who I get most of the cheese from), but we have some really awesome salads. Watch me work the Berkel like Yoyo Ma works the cello
In no particular order... Barleywine Porter Brown Ale Red Ale Scotch Ale BA Stout Belgium Triple Ole Ale DIPA Dopplebock Best Bitter - Cask Belgium Strong Dark Sorry, I can't count.
1.) cask bitter 2.) cask porter or stout 3.) Czech pils 4.) German pils 5.) Amber lager 6.) doppelbock 7.) rauchbier 8.) amber/red ipa 9.) altbier 10.) brown ale
