Why do some restaurants with a 500+ or more wine list have 0 beer options?

Because beer is a pleb drink. You're being filtered.

Different places serve different things. Go to places that serve what you like.

Wine stores better than beer does and the mark-up is higher

wine is good for tricking retards with too much much into spending money on a subpar product.

how hard can it be to have a few cases of beer in a fridge?

And sometimes you don't know what they serve, you go with a friend and they only have a menu outside or something or just go to some kind of meetup or event

Beer is underrated and markets itself poorly. Wine has always been something that has been made to be consumed with food (most fine wine anyway). Beer has always been something that's an aperitif or just hasn't been taken seriously in the realm of pairing. This is a shame as there are plenty of food-friendly beer styles.

Also, I know it sounds quite shallow, but who wants to have cans with cartoon characters on them in their restaurant with a well thought out aesthetic? Beer consumers would rather eat burgers and barbecue than go to a restaurant anyway.

this I could get , but at the same time it's usually the ones that boasts about big wine collections that have 0 beer. and if they have, it's some overpriced carlsberg

Most restaurants don't cellar their wine and the mark-up is similar proportionally.

yes marketing could be a big part. but some nice lambics work great with food

I believe Belgian beer is probably more acceptable in restaurants. Aesthetically too.

A lot of wine people (especially natural wine people) tend to like sour beer too.

It's about the market they are trying to court. Wine snobs are unbelievably pretentious and the owner may feel having beer options is not a good 'look' for the establishment.

well yeah, a lot of food normies are influenced by optics so can't really argue with that could be a point

Beer used to be seen as an exclusively low-class drink in the United States, and wine as a high-class drink. Going out and want to feel fancy? Order wine, or at least that's how it used to be seen. Sentiments are changing but change comes slow, so beer at restaurants is often still shafted in favor of wine.

Its fucking funny too.
Where I live, we have something called a 'restaurant week' in which the local places try to serve up a 3 course meal of dishes that normally aren't on the menu.

I went with a group of friends to one of these spots, and one of my buddies decided to get a glass of wine before ordering a flight of wine on the restaurant week menu.

He was disappointed with his first glass of wine, but when the second glass came out with the meal, he started making a big deal of it.
>"Oh man, this is so much better than the last wine, I can't believe the difference!"
He asked the waiter for the bottle name and commented on how much better it was.

The waiter apologized and informed him that it was the exact same wine out of the exact same bottle. We have not stopped giving this man shit years later.
Most wine "snobs" can't differentiate between a quality grape and sewage runoff.

I genuinely don't understand wine snobs, as someone who really likes wine. I've had $15 bottles that could easily compete with $60 bottles, being pretentious about a beverage is retarded. Just enjoy what you enjoy, fucking hell.

They carry zero beer because they want you to choose from their big wine collection. It's more economical for them.
