re: Do you prefer beer from tap or from a cold bottle

you'll know by whether the kegs are behind the bar or very close to the bar
if they are not, they likely don't blow the lines very often

back in the dark ages I managed shanahans on Claiborne
once a year we cleaned the lines out in the parking lot
like the jolly green giant blew his nose...

Guinness is, to me, exhibit A as to why beer is supposed to be poured. It's kind of.. flat tasting and watery straight out of the bottle. Speaking from experience, many people who swear Guinness is gross have just never had it on tap.

Most people, even bartenders, don't know how to pour it and it still ends up being flat.

On tap.

Speaking of, does anyone know if you can get kegs of Sam Adams Octoberfest for a decent price in the BR area?

This, the. Best beer I've I ever had.
