What's Up with Saturdays?

My initial reaction is so people can spend Sunday being hungover before going back to the grind on Monday.

 

all micros are closed here on Sunday, but we are in the bible belt. no insight there, other than simple logic and its called the weekend. Most folks with good to great jobs, work mon-fri with weekends off. I know crazy right? lol

 

Just guessing here, but -

Saturday as opposed to Monday-Friday: because most people work Mon-Fri

Saturday as opposed to Sunday: because alcohol is involved, and organisers probably assume that the aforementioned majority that work Mon-Fri probably want a day off before going back to work

Conundrum solved

 

Welcome to the world?

Seriously, I'm guessing you're Jewish and from NYC? If so, there's got to be a group of like minded individuals who get together on Sundays.

EDIT: though, I am curious on why you have just now realized that most of the world takes off on Saturday?

 

The best way to spend a Saturday is to get up early and start drinking immediately and not stopping until the wee small hours of Sunday morning. After you've killed a case of beer, switch to cocktails. Nothing chases all that beer better than half a quart of Gin.

 

What's up with night time? I notice as the sun starts to disappear it gets a little less bright out, and then like an hour later it is dark.

 

hahaha - rarely laugh out loud from posts, but this got me

 

Uhhh, because the large majority of people work Monday through Friday, leaving Saturday and Sunday for time off. Sunday has the religious stigma attached to it, leaving Saturday as the only viable option. Plus, people can spend Sunday recovering.

A beer festival event that happens on Tuesday from 1pm to 6pm is going to have about 7 attendees. A festival that happens on Sunday from 1pm to 6pm will have devil worshippers and heathens as attendees

 

agreed - @DougC123 I'll have a beer with you any time!

 

Well What answer is it you want? You need to contact whoever it is you think is hosting this on a day you like and see if they will change it, good luck on that 1. geez.

why does anyone hold an event on a certain day, simple so the most folks can show up. it is not like a concert or anything. its beer fests. of course it could be just because, but all events I hear of are on weekends.....not all just MOST.

is on random days it seems.

 

I've been to plenty of Sunday beer events in the Philadelphia area... Yards Real Ale Invitational, many of the beer events at World Cafe Live, even Tired Hands has Sunday releases. Maybe they just don't happen on Sunday that frequently in your neck of the woods.

 

Saturday is easily and by far the best day for any festival. More people will always be able to go on a Saturday than any other day.

 

....and he sure as s&!t don't f%%ing roll!!

 

I hate events held on Sundays. I have to be at work at 7am on Monday. I don't do a damn thing on Sundays. Friday/Saturday beer events for life.

 

3F accommodating you? I'll take it you've never been. Imagine walking into a death metal bar and asking them to hold you a rare beer till another day when they have 6 thousand people waiting outside to buy said rare beer.
Needless to say, i'd take you up on that bet.

 

When I attend beer events Sunday is not only the recovery day but also a travel day back home. I hate to say it but I would guess with near certainty that you are in the extreme minority where Saturday doesn't work for your "beer festival needs".
