Damn that's a good list.

Too bad our ridiculous keg importing rules keep Ontario bars from having a list like that.

Anyway, I've seen that at Bailey's in Portland as well.

Beer Revolution has something similar to that in Calgary with date tapped and estimated date of departure, but no percentages and not quite as awesome a tap list.

How does it calculate this? Based on weight?

'tis an awesome bar. I try to get there whenever I'm in Vancouver. Unfortunately (or good for them) it gets slammed and can take a long time to get in. Very busy spot. They made the smart move of being next to a major transit hub. In Vancouver you have an hour or something to use your Skytrain transfer, so people hop off and go have a pint on their way home. Not the kind of civilization we would understand in Toronto, sadly...

I understand they are also opening a brewery, but some stupid local law prohibits them from serving those beers at the bar.

Derek may have an explanation...

Brewery is already up and running, http://parallel49brewing.com/

There's also a similar system at National in Calgary.

that's cool.....I wonder if people get turned off from buying bottle of the key pints...would be cool to add a 'tapped on' date as well, so you know how long a keg has been around.
