The number of bars in NYC with a huge number of taps that change frequently is really something. <BR/><BR/>It is amazing how tough it is sometimes to discover a bar's beer menu.Dwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00731235941404765289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129680082676658544.post-38725892819357520332008-11-14T17:25:00.000-05:002008-11-14T17:25:00.000-05:00I haven't seen beermenus.com but that's another gr...I haven't seen beermenus.com but that's another great idea, but sort of falls flat unless a majority of the key players participate and stay up to date on all of that.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully that's working really well in NYC though and I've love to see it tried in Md.

Many of the bars that are constantly changing their draft selections update their menus on the site directly. It's started by two brothers, with a mother from Balto and one is married to a girl from Philly so it seems like those two cities may be next on the list after they figure things out in NYC. You can find the ABV and descriptions of the beers. Other features reportedly are coming.Dwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00731235941404765289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129680082676658544.post-73022919018289762762008-11-13T10:13:00.000-05:002008-11-13T10:13:00.000-05:00Beer places are going to have far more success cat...Beer places are going to have far more success catering to the aficianado rather than the light drinker. <BR/><BR/>But, as a light drinker, I would love to be able to buy beer in less than a pint. In England, I loved the "half pours" because I sampled twice the varieties without falling down in front of co-workers. I'd pay a premium at Frisco Grille for half-pours or flights where I could try a few varieties. I can get *one* good beer in lots of places. The draw of Frisco is that it has a dozen that I want to sample.HowChowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214893123333124514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129680082676658544.post-8099714151744156862008-11-12T18:19:00.000-05:002008-11-12T18:19:00.000-05:00You just brought up one of my biggest issues when ...You just brought up one of my biggest issues when it comes to a good beer place. Please don't make it difficult to know what's on tap. A lot of places here in Philly use the multiple chaulkboard approach which is great or at least they have a printed beer list. I want as much info as possible. Give me abv, ibu, gravity, style, type of glass, etc. All the info most beer fanatics want. Breweries/brew pubs are great at getting current info out on their websites but unless a bar truly specializes in beer you typically arn't getting updated lists online. One of my favorite places, TJ's Restaurant & Drinkery, gives a current draft list, what's on deck, bottle list by style and cellar list. It's one of the most detailed bar websites in Philly.Brian Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257286557279667127noreply@blogger.com
