BJCP categories?
me:
1. Seasonal anything
2. A sour- berliner weiss/flander's red
3. porter
4. a malty session beer like an Irish Red, Southern English Brown, Alt, Mild
For joe public:
1. Some kind of American Pale or IPA
2. Wheat Beer like a Hef or a Kolsch
3. A stout or porter
4. seasonal anything
You don't know how many times I go to a bar and I've already had everything, so I go with the seasonal. A changing line up shows that you still are trying things, inventing things, that you still care and aren't stuck to the same four things.
Also, if you're doing market research... what beer void are you opening in that only has four taps? Vegas?
May get flamed for this, but...
I'm not a fan of most pure German beers.
Me:
1. IPA
2. Scottish Ale
3. Wheat
4. ESB
Joe Public:
1. Bud Light
2. Budweiser
3. Miller Lite
4. Coors Light
I know you asked for styles but Joe Public doesn't know what stlyes are.
I would say
Pale Ale
Stout
IPA
Seasonal or Wit bier atm
Wife Says
Red
Stout
Vienna Lager
Amber
i appreciate your wife's opinions, and personally, i love her list, but there's no way a bar can get by w/o an IPA these days. IPAs are all the rage, gotta have one on tap
yeah, of course Joe will get the requisite piss water, it would be a terrible business model otherwise, but there has to be in-house options available to convert these people. for example, i see more and more people ordering yeunglings now.....people who used to order bud lights, so it proves they're taking a step in the right direction, they just need to keep stepping.
So we're looking at maybe a line-up of: piss water, piss water light, IPA, wheat/weiss, porter/stout, some sort of ale (amber, pale, irish red?), piss water ice, piss water ultra piss, yeungling, seasonal and/or imperial
whatdaya guys think? and by all means, continue to post your lists
