You missed the point.

If I wanted high end cab and my friend wanted Franzia , I wouldn't desert my friend.
Why not make $$$ selling both ?
Streets of London finally gave in......

I agree with you - it does make sense, and mylo's suggestion could work well to serve that crowd

or on the flipside you might need to just upgrade your friends taste in beers for the night hehehehe (j/k)

They do have pilsners which are very good and enough like Coors that your buddy won't know the difference except to say, "Wow, this is really good Coors, but why does it cost so much?"

I am, admittely, a Coor's Light fan. I'm boring. However, when I go somewhere for a beer, and Coor's Light is not served, I am given the opportunity to try something new that I might not have tried otherwise. Today I had one that was a bit too strong for me, so only drank a few sips (husband gladly finished off the rest), but the next beer was great, one I would order again.

They have KILT LIFTER on tap , which is 7 or 8% alcohol ! watch out.


It's hard to believe it was a Dairy Queen not too long ago.

My husband had the Kilt Lifter and the Bastard Oak, and the one I liked I can't recall the name, but it was the first listed, some Italian brand.

I personally like the "No crap on tap" theme. You can get a Coors Light-type beer anywhere. It's nice to have a place that focuses on better beers. My Mom drinks water disguised as beer. When she goes to brew houses and the like with me she knows to ask for the "lightest pilsner you have" and is usually pleased with what she gets. (I don't think I've ever seen her not finish a beer!)

There's a great German/Bavarian bier house in Madison, WI that doesn't serve "crap" beers and they do very well. In fact, they sell the most German tap beers of anyplace in the whole US. It's packed all the time, though they have live music (usually German music) nightly. (www.essen-haus.com/essenhaus.htm)

I'd love to see Manderes do something similar to what Essen Haus does: they have tours that you can take. You sign up (free) and get a card that corresponds to the tour you're taking (German biers, Euro beers, Southern Hemisphere beers, etc) and each time you come in, you are served a different beer on the list until you try them all. You can also purchase a bier stein and keep it at the restaurant, they have hooks on the ceiling and there are steins everywhere. You come in, grab it, they wash it and fill it for you. You can get boots of beer to play the boot game with, etc. Very fun place. I miss it!
