re: The Draft House, with 95 taps, to open in former 3rd Street Pub downtown

Portland has 5 taprooms in the Draft Magazine top 100 and not a one of them has more than 20 taps. They all rotate 100% of their taps and don't have any beers that are permanent. I think Saraveza is on the list and only has 8 taps. My favorite hangout in downtown Portland only has 8 taps (Beermongers). I'm only mentioning the names in case any of you are ever in Portaland and happen to be in the mood for a beer...

There are several other taprooms that have made the list in the past couple of year that have 50ish taps (Apex Bar and Green Dragon), but again, they rotate 100% of their taps and do enough business to keep the beer fresh.

I personally prefer the smaller taprooms that aren't overly crowded, except for Friday/Saturday nights. I like interacting with the bartenders when they aren't busy.
