Shoot in the early 90s there were bars in Austin that had $1 pint nights and it included a lot of really excellent import beers. Franziskaner, Spaten, Whitbread, Guinness, Bass, Harp, Young's, Sam Smith. So many awesome and distinct Euro imports. It was awesome.
Now the same bars have about 50 different American IPAs that all taste the same and all taste like shite, and maybe one or two interesting beers. It's sad. I rarely get excited to go to a "beer bar" anymore because they're all the same, maybe one or two taps that actually interest me.
