All kidding aside, this is pretty much how my decision process works. Certain bars short-circuit this, though. There’s one place - to remain nameless - where there’s good beer in taps that aren’t properly maintained. The time I got sediment in a beer that wasn’t supposed to have sediment was the last time I ordered beer on tap there (it didn’t help that they argued with me and said it was supposed to be that way). They have decent bottled beer but the prices are bad, so a gin and ginger is usually the best choice. (previously)
