The Big Board

One of my must stops during the trip to Portland for the Beer Bloggers Conference was Bailey’s Taproom.

Not necessarily for the beer or ambience (which it has both of!) but for this……

….an up to the minute beer list!

As someone who helps put together a weekly tap list of what’s pouring in Los Angeles (see FoodGPS if you are not already signed up). This is a godsend. Easy to read. It has all the pertinent information, from price to style to glassware and most importantly, the keg level!

To make life even easier, near the cashier is a computerized list of nearby bus lines with the times.

I am no technology apologist but this is something that I wish every bar had on the wall.
