My heart's not racing. Got IPA?

In today’s Louisville Courier-Journal:

Molly Malone's to open pub in Covington, by Ryan Clark.

I still adore Irish pubs, but it’s important for me to make a point.

While there was a time when Irish pubs provided a veritable oasis of choice in beer wastelands from Louisville to Bucharest, it no longer makes much sense to exalt the creation of another Irish pub in America when good beer options (i.e., microbrews) are so widely available.

Just my two cents.
