You can also get marbles by the pound at Hobby Lobby if you have one around. Maybe Michaels. Most craft stores have them, except instead of toys now they're decorations.
My first Arrogant Bastard. Had an Angry Orchard Crisp Apple, Ginger Apple and Traditional Dry at work today...having to taste and decide what to sell at work doesn't suck.
I run 2 five gallon cornies on a 5# tank. I'm on my fourth keg and should be able to push the rest of these 2 out before I need to refill. I also use it to carb as well as push. If you naturally carb you would probably be able to push 10-15.
Bottled Mocha Porter to free up a keg. Cleaned and sanitized said keg and loaded it with Irish Red so it'll be ready for an early St. Patty's day. Transferred Scottish 80/ to secondary to free up a primary to brew in a few days. So now I have Porter, Blonde, Dunkelweizen, and cider all ready...
The bar in the restaurant I manage will go through about 3 gallons of clamato juice and 4 gallons of tomato juice every week just mixing with BMC and the occasional Caesar and bloody mary. Montanans love their red beers. When I worked at the same restaurant in Idaho we sold maybe one red beer...

2/3 c prepared hop water
2 1/2 c granulated sugar
1 c dark corn syrup
Boil until hard ball stage (310' F)
Pour...
I just tried a piece of this. I decided to use dark corn syrup rather than light to achieve a more "beer" color. I also used the hop water for the original liquid rather than doing a late addition with additional boil time. I have never tasted a commercial hop candy so I have nothing to compare...
What question are you really asking? Are you trying to figure out what people want or what people like? Yes you need to figure out what will sell, but you will never be able to make your place fit everyone else's mold of "what a pub should be." My suggestion would be do your survey, get some...
