When you think Ave Pub was at its peak? I would say 2009-2012

I'd probably put it a little later. If we're using three years as the length, I'd say something like '12-'15 when the Venn Diagram of her pulling beer that nobody else in this market could overlapped with an emerging beer nerd subsection of the market that wanted to drink shite they couldn't get elsewhere. But that's only relevant if you're the type of beer nerd who gave/gives a shite about drinking the "rare" beer. I'd say nowadays she's pivoted more towards tapping niche/unique beer, and I don't know what her bottom line look like to say if that approach is the right one or not. But when it comes to Polly, I generally assume she's doing the right thing. She's shrewd, and I mean that in a complimentary way.

ETA: oh, but if you whine about her treatment of her employees, you're a turd. Polly goes above and beyond for them. I wish my employer cared as much about me as she does for her people. But I guess my industry more or less makes me expendable, so it is what it is.
