If you find yourself struggling to comprehend the details in your new joint’s beer menu, then they have a problem. They could have just thrown in some nonsensical and gibberish language into the beer menu.
The breakneck pace at which some brewers and those in the industry are creating beer menus is unreasonably unrealistic. The root problem has everything to do with the terms used.

Let’s explore the better examples in the Dallas area. Continue reading
