The first thing that Steve Flores said he wants people to know about Goozlepipe & Guttyworks, the extension of his Kickbacks Gastropub, is that it’s not all about the beer.
Instead, he talked about its steampunk look, full of art and bits of old machinery, the basement patterned after a Belgian dining room. He talked about the expanded menu with 100 new items. And he talked about the new bigger kitchen that it will share with Kickbacks.
.....
“We won’t really advertise the beer,” Flores said. “We won’t have any beer signs. If you come in, it will be like ‘By the way, we have the world’s largest selection of beer.’ ”
Yeah, there’s lots of beers. The main floor of G&G will have 72 taps coming out of a 500-pound coffee urn that dates back to the Civil War and another 24 coming out of specialty towers.
When the Belgian room is completed later this summer, it will have 24 taps pouring nothing but beer from Belgium.
And then there’s Kickbacks itself with 84 taps.
That’s a total 204 drafts along with about 1,000 beers in bottles.
It goes even further. The one actual beer display will feature 99 bottles of Sam Adams Utopias on the wall, available in small pours. That hard-to-get beer sells for about $140 a bottle and is often sold for several times that on eBay.
So it's a steampunk-themed bar that has lots of beer. See how much we learn here. Maybe C3P0 and R2 will finally get served there.
