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.

and that will be a problem with 95 taps. Was in the Bulldog the other night and told them I wanted an IPA but was wondering which one was the freshest. They dont carry many draft IPAs and he kind of just looked at me like hmmm let me think. Now this might be an isolated incident but the Bulldog no doubt does more business than this new downtown place will do and they have trouble having fresh kegs. Even with the Bulldog having 81 taps and being arguably the most popular post college bar in the city, plenty of good beer goes unconsumed. Sadly, BMC is the biggest percentage of their sales
