Best Selection of Draft Beers...

Great tavern there, good food, casual atmosphere, and a great beer selection on tap and in the bottle.

I thought ManchVegas got its name from the many slot machines that were confiscated in a raid years ago.

supposedly has 100 beers on tap... friends of mine recently went there and this is what I'm told...

I cringe whenever I ask what beers they have on tap and they start with "bub, bud lite, coors, coors light..." I know that I'll be drinking water!
And probably not coming back there again!

We had lunch at an Applebee's and I made the mistake of asking what was on tap; got the usual memorized list of 15 versions of dishwater starting with bud. When she got done I ordered an ice tea and boy did she give me a look.

Afterwords my wife advised to simply ask if they have Guinness or a pale ale on tap rather than suffering through that awful list. So I will give that a try.

In the past I have tried asking what is on tap after the bud, coors and miller products and that gives them a brain cramp as the list has been memorized starting with bud. Oh well..................

The college crowd waitstaff and barkeeps beer list always starts with bud. Ask them something else and it's 'Will you get with the program?' look.

I always ask for a brown ale and they give you the 'WTF' look. OK how about Guinness? Most young barkeeps won't even pour it properly.

There's a glass for ales. A glass for porters, etc. Only the high end bars do this properly. A cold mug does not make the beer. Neither does ice cold temperature. Unless you are drinking bud, the icy cold makes budweiser taste more like water. Lately I think budweiser taste like cotton candy.

The beer of choice among Colorado true beer drinkers are 'Sam Adams'. Not Coors. I was peasantly surprise to see this one!

To get a true 'Black and Tan', stop at Patrick's in Gilford. They know how to pour the 'black' over the back of a spoon and 'tan' the top.
