Framingham Beerworks WTF

LOL no but I would have told her to take the beer and dump it, then got up and left.

 

did you also order the nachos and end up with a buffalo chicken pizza?

 

Shenanigans. She should've checked to make sure you were cool with it first before trying to pull a fast one on you.

 

LOL

 

Damn, that description sounds intriguing. Where can I get me some pumkin stout?

 

One time I ordered a Guinness at a chain restaurant and they brought me a cider. I guess the waitress and bartender had no idea what either was suppose to look like.

 

Shit, someone's onto the Illuminati, and they've discovered how all big beers are really made.

BCBS is just a regular stout with both antifreeze and jack daniels added.
BCBCS is just the above with a Dunkin Donuts Medium Regular spooned in.
Brandy-aged Hunahpu is just regular Huna with a shot of Courvoisier stirred in before bottling.
And Voodoo Doughnut? That's PEOPLE.

 

Geez- I never had anything happen that even remotely compares. I've been served bad beers (diacetyl, or whatever) but nothing that has ever been intentional on the part of the bartender.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I once ordered a pint (in a brewpub in CT that no longer exists, unfortunately) and was given a sampler glass <in advance> of the full pint. That was a 'wtf' in the best sense, I suppose. I did like the beer and drank a few after 'approving' the sampler, but still remember that moment. I dunno, maybe a lot of their customers turned back their orders upon receiving them? The policy didn't help them in the long run, though, but it was kinda cool being given a sample even if I didn't ask for one.

 

I've had wrong beers poured, but I don't think they were done intentionally. And when I pointed it out, the correct beer was given to me, and the wrong normally left in place.
I've had Beerworks brews, they are generally fair to decent... though not Framingham. WHen I'm looking for a Brewpub in that area, I'll go to John Harvards any day of the week.

 

I can't imagine a WTF that could top that.

 

I would imagine that had you not seen this tap shenanigans you would have noticed a distinct lack of pumpkin and spice in their "pumpkin spiced ale". No wonder they're offering the spice rimmer.

Really ridiculous.

 

When my favorite local back home (where I grew up) began really, really getting into craft, they didn't really take into consideration the strength of their various beers...all beers were served in 20 oz. imperial pints. Even the 13.6% abv. Double Crooked Tree. Since we had a DD, that was a very. good. night.

Come to think of it, that wasn't a brewpub; it was just a favorite local. As far as a WTF BREWPUB moment, I'd have to go with having a bit of attitude and not providing top-notch service, even when it's like 1-2 in the afternoon, there's NO ONE in the pub, and you're their lead waiter. I really wanted to tip the guy well, but it was really, really hard.

 

I think if that had happened to me I would have assumed Ashton Kutcher, wearing a trucker hat, was only minutes from jumping out at me.

I also would have told her to pour me a different beer.

 

Honestly I'd have told the manager or better yet the head brewer what happened, and let them decide it it's time to let that young lady go. No way anyone in charge told her to do that. Thanks for sharing the story!

 

One time, my dad who is up for any beer ordered a miller lite on tap and the bartender handed him a bottle... He said excuse me, I wanted one on tap. She took the bottle and poured it into a glass. Not as funny but still funny. Great story OP.

 

I don't have anything that even compares to that.

I did go into a new brew pub in my old home town and didn't find out that they brewed nearly everything with Brett until I tried, well, almost everything. It was odd enough to warrant a heads up of some sort, in my opinion.

 

That's pretty awesome haha The one by the Garden is out of kegs but they have bottles still, at least it's the right brew lol

 

I just did a side-by-side of Black O Lantern and a 2:1 blend of Framingham brown ale:Irish stout.
They taste exactly the same.
WTF?

 

Sounds like a 21st century Black and Tan to me.
