Personally or for a bar?

Personally I wouldn't be making money, for a bar it would have to make money.

For bar, obviously about 4 would be domestics, so let's say 7.

Unfortunately, for a bar to make money, you will have to have miller, bud, coors light and bud heavy.

For the other 7 (in LA):
Guinness
Hopitoulas
Irish Channel Stout
Purple Haze
SN Pale Ale
Canebreak
A decent Hefeweizen (would have to think about it)

I could be wrong, but I think the OP is asking for your top 11 beers...regardless of $$ making.

Nope he said bars, and most bars can't rely on "top 11". Bmc has to be included at most places.

Target market? Beer geek or general downtowner?

Beer geek you can get out there, however 7 taps isn't enough.

For general I would say Abita Amber, Canebrake, Tin Roof Blonde and Bengal, Abita AndyGator, Nola Seasonal, Nola Brown

He said for a bar so you have to have MBC filling 4 taps. The other 7 are good beers that should be palatable to a general public.

Exactly, I would say top 11 (or 7) doesn't include what needs to be served at a bar. For good reason, my top 7 rotates pretty quick and my taste and what makes money are probably not the same.

Not false.

Yeah. They can work, but as a "rule" BMC in most places is a must.

I don't go to happys frequently because its overpriced and I've had issues with CC over charges(off topic). .

Of course in the right location and clientele these places can survive, but most can not. Especially restaurants.

They are leaving lost revenues on the table.

Eta: if I'm opening a restaurant in 97% of places in this county, I'm putting BMC on tap. You'd be a fool not to from a monetary stand point. Most clientele isn't ready for it. This board represents a small percentage of the dining public that would embrace it.
