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

Hoboken, N.J. spends a lot of time in the shadow of New York City. For many people, Hoboken is best recognized as "the last place your frat brother who was planning on going to business school" resided. But though many of its residents travel across the Hudson for work, Mike Farley, manager of Hoboken's the Mile Square, believes people shouldn't have to travel into the Big Apple to find a good beer.

"We have 30 taps," says Farley, speaking with pride about Hoboken's largest tap selection. "And we rotate about 17 of them constantly with all craft beer." He admits they have to keep on some of the standards -- Miller Lite, Guinness, Stella -- Hoboken is still a somewhat conservative place compared to, say, Brooklyn. But Farley believes their selection stands up to even some of the best bars in New York.

"Last month, we had 11 different Octoberfests," Farley points out. "People are already coming in asking for Christmas beers."

That sort of diversity and seasonal selection will definitely set a bar apart. "[Our customers] love that we change the taps all the time," says Farley. "People have their favorites, but we have people who come in seasonally because they know we're going to have their favorite beer."

The Mile Square listens to their patrons too: "We take suggestions. We just try to keep it interesting." After over a decade in the business, managing 30 draft lines the entire time, they know sometimes a bar needs whatever inspiration they can turn to. In the end, however, as Farley puts it, "We'll try stuff, but we know what people like." That's the confidence one would expect from a Jersey guy!

So no jokes about how now that What's On Tap has come to north Jersey this column is officially past its prime. Places like the Mile Square are hoping to change all that.
