Where the served only Inbev beers, like Becks, Corona, Goose Island, Elysian, Wicked Weed, 10 Barrel, and their latest acquisition, Cantillon, would you go? If the atmosphere and food were great, would you go?

Depends where you're opening it. If it's in a city/town with other decent brew pub options, probably not going to be a hit. Places without many restaurants serving quality brews? Yeah, it would succeed.

I love Elysian, WW, and Cantillon but if somewhere local to me didn't serve any Sweetwater brews, I'd kind of wonder wtf. That said, I'd still go because the nearest place with a decent tap list is 20-30 mins from my house.

Would they have local options or just the Walmart beer set?

I would expect that if Inbev were to open this kind of concept brewpub, they would do it in areas where they had already acquired a local brewery, so they would have local options.

I'm at a 10 Barrel brewpub right now. I love their concept. There beers are good, not great.

I asked the brewer here how much input Inbev has on the beers they brew here, and he said, "None". 18 of the 24 beers on tap here are brewed right here, so it feels local.

Probably on occasion. Lack of brewpub’s in the area would be a factor.

No, I would not go. There is undoubtedly a local brewery that I’d rather my dollars go to in whatever hypothetical city this is located.

Sure. I'm happy to support craft and local beers, but I wouldn't avoid a place where the food and atmosphere were great just because I could only get a Budweiser. Hell, I had a Budweiser last night. That's the kind of beer I grew up on as a young adult.

It is, in fact, possible to enjoy both craft beers AND mass produced staples. But one place I definitely wouldn't go to is a local brewpub with pretentious douche bags and a shitty atmosphere.

If I goto a place that only has budweiser I order wine or bourbon.

Most asian (Thai, chinese, Indian) places in the area don't have a good beer selection but like this OP, would not stop me from enjoying the food.

I go to places with some regularity where the best thing on draft is like a Goose Island or similar, so I don't see why not.

It wouldn't supplant my local places with more options, if the food/atmosphere is good, why wouldn't I go there?

I go to the 10 Barrell in Portland once in a while when I'm in town. It's a cool fun space. The beer is pretty meh. So sure.

If the atmosphere and food are worth it, not sure I have a good reason not to go.

I wouldn't go regardless of atmosphere and food.
