Friday-Saturday, Nov 26-27, 2pm to close

I will be in New England sipping different beers that day, so you'll have to go in my stead.
As much as I love Roscoe's, they need to deal with the funk in some of their lines. Part of the problem is that the 'tenders will pour a beer straight off, not considering how long it's been sitting in the lines--had many a stale beer there. Even after that though, I've had some stuff there that tasted off. Last time I had Pliny the Elder there--even though a bunch of other people had been ordering it--it just tasted off--tasted like dirty lines, but there was some fresh-washed-glass flavor as well. Granted, I was a puss for not saying anything, and makes this gripe lame, but I've been going there for a long while now and while the relatively new micro focus is amazing, I love the place for it's atmosphere over all else, so didn't want to bitch.
ReplyDeleteDamn, have you tasted a beer at the Horse Brass lately? I don't think they've cleaned the lines since the last time Don Younger got a haircut.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post Jeff!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback Jason! I am sorry to hear of your concern. We have a professional tap cleaning service perform regular scheduled maintenance on our lines and faucets, but I would love to buy you a replacement beer and address your concerns in person.
We will also have a few brewers coming by for the summit and meet-the-brewers events over the next couple of weeks, so I will ask them to taste their beers to see if they think there is an issue. If we find that there is a problem we will have the lines replaced. We want to make sure that we are showcasing the best beers in a way that meets or exceeds the expectation of the brewers and the craft beer community.
I will be in for the summit on Friday and would welcome the chance to talk more. Just ask for Jeremy.
