First, I lov...Ezra, I'm not missing the point.<br /><br />First, I love Bailey's and agree their beers are more unique than Henry's. No argument there. However, I think it's cool to have 100 craft beer options in one place. Yes, Bailey's has "plenty" of taps. But 100 is still greater than 20. Keep in mind, your average craft beer drinker may not appreciate the difference between the 100 "common" (as you state) craft beers at Henry's, vs. the 20 more "unique" craft beers at Bailey's. I think it takes someone from a very high order of beer geekery to truly appreciate that difference.<br /><br />Second, you are assuming the beer I was drank was stale. I can assure you that it was not. I don't know how long it takes Henry's to empty their kegs, but the five beers I sampled were fresh.<br /><br />Now, if you re-read my response, you will see that I did answer your question. I said I would pay a small premium to enjoy a vast beer selection. Perhaps it wasn't the answer you deem to be correct.<br /><br />At the end of the day, I do prefer Bailey's to Henry's. Bailey’s prices are better and their beer is more unique. However, Bailey’s and Henry’s are not mutually exclusive options. They each have their place. If I happened to be in Henry's neck of the woods (especially during Happy Hour) I wouldn't hesitate to stop in for one of their 100+ brews. <br /><br />Cheers!The Not So Professional Beer Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509910363270635578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234485456024491380.post-58572844814483553882011-03-02T23:38:31.809-08:002011-03-02T23:38:31.809-08:00Sanjay,

The beer is sitting in the lines and going stale because they do not pour it frequently enough. Beyond that it is very common beer. I also am still trying to figure out why more taps of stale beer justifies higher prices? You didnt answer me on that one. Bailey's Taproom has plenty of taps at a much higher quality, frequently changing and fresher beer. I would never go in a million years to Henry's over Bailey's.

That's a nice problem to have.<br /><br />Ezra, I really appreciated Henry's 100+ taps. I'm not aware of other places in that vicinity that have so many options. So I'd pay a little extra for that convenience. Who else has a large number of taps in the NW region? I'd love to learn about some new places to visit.The Not So Professional Beer Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509910363270635578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234485456024491380.post-11770129330182396092011-03-02T16:47:20.941-08:002011-03-02T16:47:20.941-08:00How does the amount of taps justify the higher pri...How does the amount of taps justify the higher price tag? Confused about that especially as they are all beers you could find elsewhere and served fresher because of the sheer lack of turnover at Henry's.Samurai Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768164070860831715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234485456024491380.post-13655111881557384922011-03-02T09:45:18.186-08:002011-03-02T09:45:18.186-08:00I love Henry's, although the hardest part is d...I love Henry's, although the hardest part is deciding what to drink when there are so many options.
