    This reminded me of a now closed taphouse near where I used to work that would increase the cost for each of the beers/ciders their served based on a formula of how much they had in stock and the rate of sale. They hired a full stack dev to design a stock style tracking app and they wanted to somehow gamify beer cost for their primary audience (local tech bros).

    That lasted about a month before they abandoned it completely (and I hired the guy that made their app for a CRM my company was building). They went to normal prices that don’t change minute-to-minute and the place lasted another 10 years.

        Yeah, on Broadway. It was like 2 blocks from my office but I didn’t really pay attention to it until after the market pricing thing ended.

        As I remember it, a variant of that tracking software went on to power the keg tracker at the Bier Stein.

        Intersting. I’m not sure I’ve heard crack houses called that… I’m also not really up to date on that sort of thing.

        Tap houses are common in Oregon. They have a couple dozen or more craft and/or imported beer/cider (and sometimes mead) on tap. They usually serve food and sell by the glass but they also sell growlers to go. Ostensibly they’re there to fill growlers, but most in my area are basically bars for foodies.

          The name tap house for a place with stuff on tap makes perfect sense. It’s not common where I’ve lived before, hence me always reading it as trap house. Those are very common.
