Here's my run down anyway

1. Abita Amber - nothing special standard amber ale
2. Abita Purple Haze - nothing special fruit ale
3. Abita Andy Gator - havn't had in a long time
4. Back Forty Naked Pig (Pale Ale) - n/a
5. Back Forty Truck Stop Honey - n/a
6. Back Forty Frecklebelly IPA - n/a
7. Goose Island Honkers Ale - n/a
8. Goose Island Urban Wheat - average wheat
9. Kona KoKo Brown - haven't had in a while
10. Kona Big wave Golden Ale - n/a
11. Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan - used to be good. Not so much any more. Maybe my palate has changed.
12. Lazy Magnolia Jefferson Stout - haven't had in a long time
13. Good People Brown Ale - n/a
14. Good People IPA - n/a
15. Straight to Ale Monkey naut IPA - n/a
16. SweetWater 420 - Good Pale Ale
17. SweetWater Blue - n/a
18. Woodchuck Amber Cider - it's a cider. No.
19. Bells 2 Hearted Ale - Very good
20. New Belgium Fat Tire - prefer abita
21. New Belgium Ranger IPA - haven't had in a while
22. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - very good pale ale

In summation, it's a decent list for a restaurant. Aside from the local beers i've never had, it's nothing extraordinary. Other than Bell's, the list is pretty basic. (and the local brews).

If you are going for a unique craft bar, then i'd up the ante and throw in more IPA's, Stouts, Saison's, etc... And replace a lot of the standard stuff like the basic goose island stock, and try to get some better wares from the brewers, rather than their basic brews.

I had Kona KoKo Brown for the first time recently. Was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
