Enhancing or adulterating?

I hadn't seen the bruflavor, but this surfaced a few years ago: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/vide...to-make-cheap-beer-taste-better/1435988969001. Then, just last week I saw this: http://www.gomadhops.com/ which seems like a twist on the hop drops? Someone's bound to hit on it one of these days.

Go for it if you can do it in a cost effective manner and make money at it.

Yes. That will be the key. Novelty doesn't surpass revenue.

We also thought about having hop extracts available too, although they are a bit pricey. The difference is, the extracts will be going into good beer for fun, not to cover up bad beer.

Dogfish Head achieves a similar effect using a Randall. Your idea sounds good to me.

I wouldn't want any flavorings added to my beer but I wouldn't think twice about a taproom that offered flavorings for beers.

Why not? Just curious.

Just not something I would be into. I don't really like flavored beers, even if the flavor is actually brewed into the beer (fruit, coffee, etc.), so I am nearly 100% certain I wouldn't like a beer where flavor was added as a syrup when serving. However, I understand that a lot of people do like flavored beers, and I can appreciate the novelty of being able to put any number of flavorings into any beer you want. As long as the "neat-beer" was good, I wouldn't think any less of a tap room that offered flavors when serving beer.

Its kind of like those Freestyle Coke machines with all the different flavor combinations. When I use one I usually just get regular Barqs or Coke, but I appreciate the novelty and that some people might like a Orange-Lime-Diet Coke ( :: )

Should have a pump with a mixture of balsamic vinegar, Limburger cheese and moldy ketchup for people that want to sour up their beers.

You don't think the aroma from the cheese would be too much?

How about a squirt of yogurt? Then you could clutch your beer against your chest for heat. After an hour or so, bingo, sour beer.
