Satan, thanks for the history lesson on IPA's, but I'm already quite aware. It's still a fact and not opinion hop compounds degrade over time which is why IPA's and DIPA's are preferably enjoyed young and taste better fresh.
I do have a bottle of Dogfish Head 120 Minute in my beer fridge that's about 2-3 years old which I'm looking forward to drinking, but 120 Minute is a unique beer and almost an exception. I have a bunch of Hopslam sitting in my basement from last year that I didn't get around to drinking and tons of the hop character is gone leaving it malty, unbalanced and not nearly as good.
If you dig aging IPA's and DIPA's and consider the effect "mellowing" than more power to you. I'm not trying to argue with you, as it's a preference thing. When I drink a hoppy beer, I want to taste the hops as they were meant to be enjoyed.

I'm surprised people are whining about establishments carrying a wide variety of craft beer. Bring on the beer!+1
This is a new business investing in an area that needs it, and offering a drink menu that I think most people here could at least find ONE THING that they enjoy. Or at the very least wait until the place is open before complaining.
More beer. Less whine.well said Walker!

I hope the 2 year aging of your Dogfish head 120 minute IPA works out well, considering you just stated IPAs don't age, and you are aging one. I am getting mixed signals.
Debates are just digital misunderstandings sometimes.
CHEERS!

I wasn't really trying to debate. The point I was trying to make with 120 minute if you see what I wrote, is that 120 minute is a unique beer, in that it's one of the only DIPA's (if you really want to call it that at nearly 20% abv) that cellars and ages decently. That's why I said that that beer is somewhat of an exception.
Cheers to you as well.

I am soooo excited to have a World of Beer coming to Columbus!!! I try to fly down to Sarasota,FL as much as possible to try there beers. They have a beer tour. Main goal is 500 beers but it got raised to 2000 beers now. The goal levels are 50,100,250,500,1000,1500,and 2000. And each level you get cool stuff. If you like good beers and like a place where the bartenders know everything about every beer to help you find what you want then this will be the place for you togo. And if you like bud light, miller, coors...well theirs a gas station down the road. Because this is World of Beer, not World of boring beers. ha! But i think that this will be a good add for the brewery district. strongest beer that they sell at the sarasota location is the dogfish 120 and hello,,,it is very strong $20 for a 12oz bottle.

World of Beer Opening in The Brewery District
By: Walker
On October 31st, the Brewery District will become 50 beer taps and 500 beer varieties richer. World of Beer will open their doors at 503 South Front Street at 3pm that day to Facebook friends and the following day to the general public. The new bar was built specifically to appeal to enthusiasts who appreciate a wide selection of craft beers, microbreweries and uncommon imported beers.

Owner Darren Green of Dublin, Ohio warmly invited me in last night when I contacted him via phone, a day after their private opening. Darren, GM Christina Mclenaghan and the WOB staff were just as knowledgeable as they were affable. It was an electric scene when I walked in last night, with a really good cover band playing above the main bar, and a decent crowd on both levels.
Beertender Blake greeted me, and offered me some draft samples. One of his favorites ended up being a pleasant surprise: The Concoction by Brooklyn Brewmaster's Reserve. It was made with peated malt, lemon, ginger and honey. It tasted like sweet hops to me. Totally unique and worth a try.
Some of their weekly promotions:
Monday:Service Industry Night - 1/2 off drafts 9-close
Tuesday:Loyalty Card night - $1 off bottles open-close
Wednesday:WOB University - students/faculty get 1/2 off select drafts 9-close
Thursday:Ladies Night - 1/2 off wines and select drafts open-close
Sunday:Customer Appreciation Cookout - one Sunday a monthRegular happy hour Monday-Friday $1 off drafts and wine, open to 7
Live music Thursday-SaturdayLoyalty card available for $15, and includes a nice black tee.
No kitchen on the premises, but they have a bound menu from four local restaurants you can order from and have it delivered! List includes Plank's, t.murray's, Claddagh, and the newly opened Backstage Bistro from Shadowbox!
