Cigar City Brewing tasting room

^ This. Tip your servers.

 

Finally, you got something right.

 

I totally agree with you. I picked up my last few bottles recently and I could sense that the guy behind the counter wasn't thrilled about it. My buddy and I talked to him while he assisted me and I tipped the bartender when all was said and done.
Not only is the CCB staff going to be excited about the new tracking system, I'm personally thrilled to hear about how the new tracking system will work.

 

Yeah, who knew.

 

How many bottles were you picking up??

 

37. But 15 were for two members
Who were gonna pick them up huna week but couldn't bc club ends. I got there and told him it was a lot, and he was doing what appeared to be 12-15 bottle orders all day. I have him my spreadsheet that helped but it es still time consuming. I went and had a few nitro porters, came back and we went through the bottles. I figured 20 was decent but I felt more would show my token of appreciation so they got a 50
Dollar bill. Them proceeded to help carry the bottles out for me which was cool. I have made my money back in this club through discounts although I don't visit super frequently so figured this was a last hoorah tip until he club reopens. I could have tipped less but the guy and another off time employee (I think) helped him out so they knew I appreciated doing that large of a bottle count. I think it was fair for both sides.

 

those bartenders are whiny babies and need to suck it up

 

+1 on the grass fed burger, had one last week, it was outstanding. Brewpub also has their own unique brews.

 

Their sour ale Nieuw Bruin is fantastic.

 

Have to agree, got a growler of that as well

 

Did you tip with the money from the shady LIF you ran?

yea i am starting a ponsi scheme by doing LIFs once a month and not communicating with any of the participants or anything....get a grip dude. every person has been contacted, explained situation of not being able to communicate with sick family, and been refunded for the LIF.

 

Weird how your story changed from "not enough money donated" to "can't get ahold of the family" once you deservedly caught hell for canceling it.

But, this is not the place to argue so I'll leave it at that.

 

thanks...and you dont know all the information to the LIF...so if you want to make accusations, why dont you find the details out first...i'll leave it at that.

 

Yeah...so...

Picking up 37 bottles at once is pretty insane and I wouldn't be surprised if the bartenders were aggravated. Thankfully, CCB continues to learn and improve and hopefully this new system streamlines the process. I think they did an amazing job for the first time.

 

i agree 100%. i wanted to cut off trustee to 4 people plus myself, but the two guys from TX that are coming would have missed all their bottles so i just did it. 37 was a nightmare just organizing...i agree 100% they accommodated and any kind of headaches were incurred on their end, regardless of people who missed on certain bottles and were a little pissy etc.
