We are throwing around the idea of using flavor syrups at the tap.
For example, one could order a purposely-brewed blond ale and add a pump of banana extract, or a session pale and add a pump of orange or grapefruit extract.
I have had feedback from a lot of people about this already. The beer purists have said: "if you want a beer to have more grapefruit flavor, brew it that way."
I totally agree with that sentiment. However, we are also in the business of selling beer. Many people have commented that they would enjoy the novelty of the flavor enhancements, or that it would be interesting to try out different flavors in the same beer. Many of the women drinkers, a large segment of our market, seem very interested in this concept.
Of course, if you want your beer to stay how it is, that's fine too.
People add flavors to their coffee all the time, so why not also try it out with beer?
What do you guys/gals think?
