This is a chain that recently opened by me. http://www.millersalehouse.com/beers-and-drinks Over 30 drafts and more than 20 bottles. The best choice is a Samuel Adams Seasonal.
im assuming you are talking about the one in mt laurel? agreed, their selection is sub par, however any time i have been there they did have hopdevil which was a plus.
Nope. I am in North Jersey. They opened one in Paramus. I have never been there. I loooked at the beer list on line and saw no reason to go.
really nice place that has a huge bottle selection and updates their draft menu daily...however, come 5 pm more than half of the items on the draft menu are gone.
Looks like they made a typo. Should have been Miller Sale House. (Buckets of Lite at bargain prices!)
I have been considering turning my local pizzeria into a craft beer bar/pub sort of thing. I have a big following with my food, but I'm afraid if I do go with beer, that it will be worthless. I currently live in WV and my shop is in a small town where I live. It's been in my family for 14 years, but I'm afraid to add craft beer. Not because I'm not loyal to craft brewers but because we don't get a lot of the good stuff in wv. The best stuff we have Is Sierra Nevada, GLBC, Samuel smith, chimay, rogue, Westmalle, Ayinger and weihenstephaner. I personally don't consider flying dog and magic hat to be in the same class as the others I listed. Wv did finally get southern tier, but still. I'd own a "craft beer pub" with my pizzeria and I go across the river to Kentucky to buy all my beer for home. It's kind of sad really. If I could get a brewery like 3F or Founders or even a Bell's I'd take the risk. But until things here change its almost crazy not to sell your everyday "beer drinkers" light American crap lagers. Does anyone know how draft works? The local distributors won't tell me if I can buy draft craft beer from Kentucky for the simple fact they'd rather sell me a keg of Stella, Guinness, and Newcastle and want me to throw the Words, "craft beer" around on my signs. There is nothing more I'd want than to open a craft beer pub and serve my families food recipes, but geez here at home we are another universe behind
Why not start of by adding some Sierra Nevada to you beer list? See if anyone bites. If the SN moves, you can add something else. If it just sits, scrap the idea. I would think that if you can't move SN, you are not going to be able to move other craft beers.
It's doubtful that you could legally buy beer from across state lines for resale without risking serious repercussions. You're pretty much stuck dealing with your distributor. I'd get a keg of SNPA and see how it goes.
Where'd you go in San Marcos? It should have been easy to at least find some Live Oak, but you have to avoid the college town dives.
Never been duped, so to speak, but I did have a bar refuse to sell me Cantillon (after the bar tender agreed earlier) after my group of friends and I had all had two beers each. Apparently we were too intoxicated to appreciate it... after two beers... two beers. Not gonna say which beer bar it was in Amherst, Mass... that actually gets Cantillon... that never updates their website... that gives away free peanuts... but they clearly didn't quite understand how someone could possibly have two beers over two hours while drinking water alongside and not be massive drunk.
Yep, and pretty frequently too. there are a ton of beer bars that serve "pints" in those 13 ounce shaker glasses that weigh about a pound a piece. I'll have one, switch to bottles and never go back.
This reminds me of the time I was kindly refused anymore beers after drinking 2 beers (Berkshire something weak to start and a Goose Island Sofie) over the matter of 3 hours to go along with my food on an early Friday night at a "Craft beer" bar in Northampton. Dirty fucking Lies.
Wow, those are some high prices. My local store was selling Sucks at $3/~14 oz tulip when they had it on tap. They usually have ST stouts at $5-6 for the same size pour. Granted, it's a beer and wine store with 16 taps. Current list is Dogfish Head Hellhound on My Ale Green Flash Palate Wrecker Dupont Speciale Belge Terrapin Wake n Bake Foothills Seeing Double St. Bernardus Christmas Ale Epic Blue Law Porter Anchor Old Foghorn 2011 Foothills Torch Pilsner Olde Hickory Death By Hops Ska Euphoria Dogfish Head Bitches Brew Southern Tier Choklat Sierra Nevada Bigfoot 2012 Dark Horse Tres Blueberry Stout Lagunitas A Little Sump'n Wild
I used to travel to Orlando for business, and the Orlando Miller's location was where everyone went after work. They were really proud of themselves for having Shipyard Export and Seadog Bluepaw on draft all the time. Ummm....I'm from freaking MAINE. These beers are not exotic or interesting to me. Really.
For the sake of the residents of Huntington, please do not start another pizza joint/bar. Don't get me wrong though. I love pizza and I love beer, but we already have far too many of these places. Two of these types of restaurants have popped up within the past year. I don't mean to shoot down your idea, but this area is already over-saturated. Maybe open up two separate businesses? Also, it is illegal to sell beer from Kentucky (or any other state for that matter) in WV.
Hey guys, the thread is titled "ever been duped by a so called "beer bar?" not "show off your beer-bar dicksize to everyone." OT, the bars in Madison seem to advertise fairly, so I can't recall having this problem, thankfully.
OMG I don't even have words! I graduated from Union a few years back, as did my younger sister last year. If this place had existed back in my day...holy hell I would have been selling a kidney by senior year. And only a block from campus! WHAT A PLACE. I never thought I'd see the day Schenectady would have such a fine watering hole. Enjoy it for those nearby
My suburb is nothing but some chain restaurants with your typical selection of Canadian/US/Euro macros. If I'm going to go hang at a bar I always head downtown. 25 minute bus ride in and a $25 cab fare back. The tap list the OP showed isn't the worst I've seen and It's better than any place within a couple kilometres from my place.
Eventually they will have sold one million and one beers, on draft and in bottle, and won't you be the fool?
Did you try a mix? I'm betting Tire Tread is Fat Tire and Snow Day. Legendary Apple is the Legend and the cider. English Haze is Purple Haze and ??? Cannonball is the Heavy Seas and ...Doggie Style? Black and Blue is Guinness and Blue Moon? These actually sound repulsive.
Is it not better to have a few macro micros and some BMC than nothing at all? I agree that the name is misleading, but as our movement grows, we need to learn that some people will take baby steps (and stay there) and others will run the full mile. I still would rather see the list you posted than an all BMC menu.
They are all over the place down here... and their food ain't half bad. However, we always used to call them Lager House because they never have any actual Ales on tap.
Haha, Just saw this place this past week driving by, thanks for the heads up on the millions. Soooo, proceed past it and drive directly to Ynot. /local hijack. Ok everyone continue with posting awesome chalkboards of better bars.
I find that hard to believe...they'd be fined out the ass for doing it. There was a bar in New York state somewhere where the owner was driving to Wisconsin and picking up cases of Spotted Cow to sell and got caught and lost his liquor license for a year and was fined I want to say $50k but I could be wrong on that number. It was a few years ago.
