I'm often gradin' my hoes.

What an awful list.

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.

It's supposed to me an Irish Pub. My guess is that it's one of those corporate buy and name your own authentic pub things.

+10. This is especially common at bowling alleys.

Grupo Modelo Corona - $4

Still looks like Corona to me!

I would have expected it to be an Applebee's or something. That's an atrocious and offensive list for an Irish pub.

I can see why they'd need that in a lot of places. So many establishments have no clue how to properly clean their beer lines that people think that their bottled beer tastes better. They're probably right and people want it a certain way.

The 90 Shillings (sic) can only be Odell 90 Shilling.

There isn't technically a 90/-. Doug Odell trademarked it. This came out during the Rock Art Monster / Monster Energy dust-up.

Now that you say it, that makes sense. That list (minus spelling errors and a few local beers) is consistent with an Irish Pub I visited in Hendersonville NC last weekend. I got a Highland Kashmir IPA, not anything off of that crappy list

That list makes me want to drink more Jameson.

Looks like the person that chose those beers is a BMC drinker.

The menu itself is a car wreck. I'm not going to look past that many errors to even consider the beer. The menu indicates they don't give a rat. (walks out)

I was an a bar the other day that listed "Yuengling" and "Sam Adams" under their "Imported" list. Yuengling, really?

I have seen the same thing here in PA and the Yuengling Brewery is only like 2 hours from me.

You have no idea how many times I've seen stuff like this.

Or they'll have those same beers on the "micro brew" list and charge way more for them.

Bars in the midwest do this all the time. If they say $3 domestics, that still doesn't count Leinie's or Sam Adams. So aggrivating.

On the typo tip, It should be Miller L-I-T-E not light.
