So, I just got back from a trip to the folks house in southern CT. While home, some friends took me out to a few of the new beer bars that have apparently been popping up all over New Haven and Milford. At first, I was psyched about this new trend towards micros and good imports, but each place seemed uber-yuppified and way overpriced. Having Saison Dupont on tap is really cool, charging 7.50 for 8 oz. is a little ridiculous. Charging 6-7 dollars a pint for Rogue or Fullers even more so.
Plus, I noticed about 80-90% of the people at the two places I went more than once (Delaney's and Prime 16) were drinking bottles of either High Life or Pabst.
Are these new high-end beer bars the bastard offspring of America's growing sophistication concerning beer? Is this a growing national trend or just something endemic to the Yale-New Haven area?
