Aslin Beer Co. (2020)

I'm guessing not as many people as they were hoping, looks like they may still be available. Cool (??) concept but how many people actually want a shoe box, shoe laces and a shoe horn with the beer? Also, $80 plus tax and tip, so pushing $100 per set.

 

Since when did tips on carryout beer become the norm? At that price, the tip is in the base price.

 

I don't tip on carryout (beer or food) but if you've ever ordered from their site, (unless they've made changes) they prompt for tips on each item you add to your cart and ask you again to tip when you go to your cart. My guess is that many people leave some sort of tip after being guilted into it.

 

I'll throw a few bucks for the guys/gals that have to hustle the packages together and deal with the ever present issue of COVID. I wouldn't tip 20% on an $80 package though.
No interest in the packaging and "extras" for this latest money grab - even the guy I trade with said it was too rich for his blood...lol

 

Do they use Square? That software always defaults to 20%. Happens at the bottle shops that use them as well, unless they are able to change the settings(?).

 

Idk, it's the website, not the POS system at the brewery. There is no default but they prompt you to tip multiple times when you order online.

Kinda of surprised the town allowed them to build that hideous blue building in the historic downtown area.
