WTF??? Who the hell would pay $4 for a NA beer...

I count at least 7 typos.

I give this restaurant a 30. First off, what is a 20 oz barrel beer? Does that mean it comes in a 20 oz mug? Strongbow isn't even a beer...There is a 90/- (what brand?). Nothing extraordinary. Not even a Samuel Adams, Sierra Nevada, or other large craft offerings. They have a decent selection, but its nothing to write home about.

Errors I see...

They don't specify which Murphy's brew.
Hoegradeen? Spell check you beers!
Ditto "Heinekin"
Ditto "Warsteinere"
Widmen Hefe? Is that supposed to be Widmer?
Stella w/o Artois. I'm not sure if this would be considered an error, but I would include the entire beer name.
Strong Bows - Is this a beer or did they screw up the cider name?

I would argue that very few of the items on that first little are even worthy of the name beer. Oh, I suppose technically SOME of them are beers by the strictest definition of the word...

why have the same beer in bottles and tap? When your selection is already not great, why make it worse by doubling them up?

I'm such a damn snob. I don't find that selection to be decent at all.

This person believes in caps...

20 oz. BARREL BEER. JESUS IT COMES IN A BARREL, YOU NEED THIS BEER. IT'S NOT BARRELED LIKE THE BOTTLED BEER, BUT, WELL, MAYBE IT'S JUST FROM A BARREL INSTEAD OF COMING IN A 20 OZ BARREL. 20 OZ BARRELS ARE HARD TO COME BY. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAD A 20 OZ BARREL? ME TOO.

I CAN JUST IMAGINE THE OWNER OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT SAYING "WELL YOU FIGURED OUT WHAT IT WAS YOU WERE ORDERING DIDN'T YOU?" JUST THINK IF THEY DID THE SAME THING TO THE FOOD SECTION OF THEIR MENU. 90% OF REDDITORS WOULDN'T RETURN FOR A SECOND MEAL. I'LL STOP USING CAPS NOW...

Yeah, but the sad thing is that they could have made me think it was an awesome selection by listing the brewery name with each beer.
