Jolly Pumpkin Opening In Midtown

[motz]

Sitting in my beer refrigerator at the moment are beers from:
Duval
Ayinger
Bitburger
Spatan
Hacker-Pschorr
Paulaner
LaBatt
Affligem
Bell's
Lion
The beers run from lagers to wheats to stouts and ales, and probably they are beers most could care less about but then you cannot help the bad taste of the american public.

Wow, yeah... Do you go to an establishment called "Bailey's" often? Because that reads like their beer list. And they stick to more "mainstream", "safe" brews. Shorts often times takes some really weird risks and has some unique brews. Atwater has some of the most solid "basic" beers around, like Dirty Blonde and Vanilla Java. I personally have been digging on North Peak's Siren Amber Ale and Majestic Wheat... I mean, I could try and give you examples of brews that are local that might be good choices to rival what you suggested, if you want, but note that a lot of the kind-of-bitter European beers are wayyyy less popular than in the past, hence less beers that are down that avenue.
