It would be nice if some of the Belgian beers in the 750ml bottles would be available, especially Duvel or Chimay.
There are a few reasons why I've shied away from both larger format and, specifically, Duvel and Chimay. Cost vs storage space, for one. For the few people who'd buy a 750ml bottle I'd have to take up the space that could be filled by a less expensive, but similarly interesting beer that is sold more frequently. Also, while I'm a fan of both Duvel and Chimay, the market saturation of the latter and the prestige of the former make them a little too well-known. I choose most of my beers not only to sell but as a learning exercise for customers, staff, and myself. And with as many craft-brewers and small Belgian, German, Scottish, and so on producers out there I feel as though I'm better serving the Columbia area by urging them to try something new instead of something they've had many, many times and can get at several bars around town, anyway.
And, of course, my having such steads as harp and sapporo may seem counter to this mindset but they're there for those who have no interest in the new. And as my margins are a bit better on those beers I'm able to charge less for a more expensive, more complex product.
but thank you for your suggestion. I do, at least, usually try to have something that is correlative.
I am more than happy with your choice of St. Feuillien. It's my absolute favourite beer and it's wonderful to be able to order it at a restaurant. Thanks!
