A weekly look at the draft selection in beer-friendly bars across the country.

Finding two English-speaking cities more different than Dublin and Albuquerque, N.M., would be a pretty tough task. So some four years ago, when Two Fools Tavern opened its doors proclaiming to be “Albuquerque’s only authentic Irish Pub,” one can assume it was an ambitious undertaking.

“There was a need for it,” says Russell Reid, general manager of Two Fools Tavern, explaining why they tried to bring a touch of Emerald Isle to the American Southwest. The gamble (if you can call opening an Irish pub a “gamble”) has paid off: “We’ve been very successful.”

Part of that success comes from having a solid beer selection, including nineteen draft lines. “We have Irish and English beers that are staples of what you’d need in a pub and then have a rounded balance.”

Included in that balance are a number of American craft products. Via Full Sail, the bar has two exclusive Two Fools selections: a pale ale and a house cider. They’re also proud to provide the beers in Sierra Nevada’s Imperial series on tap, as well as other unique brews from around the country (particularly Colorado).

Reid knows his customers appreciate the additional selections: “Albuquerque is a great beer market. A lot of people don’t realize that. It’s much more of a beer town than other spirits.” Still, despite continuing to evolve the draft list, Two Fools always keeps the Irish pub standbys. As Reid reminds us, “We’re the largest seller of Guinness in the state.”

See what your favourite Pub looks like on the small screen!  “In Plain Sight” filmed a whole day at Two Fools Tavern, even-though its a night scene they actually did the filming from six am to 6pm, a little makeup works wonders.  In case you were wondering everyone in the scene is an actor, I thought I was pretty enough for TV but they disagreed.

Clik on the above link to be taken to the full episode the scene begins at 37:40 about five mintues in and runs for a fair amount of the episode
