First World BA Problems

I've only got one out of the six bottles of BA Hunahpu I got this year. I'm pacing around my house frantically pulling my hair out!

On a serious note I traded them away for some equally fantastic brews and came away smiling. I drank one bottle and will now let the other sit.

 

Going to a chain "Bar" and getting a Pilsner in a Hefe-Weisen glass. Thanks for the extra 10 oz. but Reallly???

 

looks like we're in over time....... but don't worry I'm a Chicago Blackhawks fan anyways
hope to see you in the Stanley Cup Finals



something else bothers me people from out of town drive to a beer release show up late and then they have a sense of entitlement because they drove in from out of town........ loser! put the time in early or put the time in late either which way you're getting something or you're getting nothing.

" its just a beer"

 

Nice I'm assuming means four or five start "bruh". Ruth chris has shitty beers at everyone of there chains i have been to. By no means the greatest in the world, but when i eat there its just a neat bourbon for me.

 

See ya there. Although I'm looking for a Kings run.

 

I guess this is a little less of a first world problem ... Roommate's moving out after my lease period so the girlfriend and I will have to move into a one-bedroom at a cost of probably around 160 more clams a month considering less splits on utilities and internet. One of the first things to go is going to have to go is a week of beer funds.

Anyone hiring a fresh IT/management graduate in Tampa?

On the bright side, I forsee a lot of Torpedo in my future. A whole lot.

 

Having drank so much Cantillon in Europe, and now having to live without it.
Never being able to get the limited CCB releases.
People inflating the value of Heady Topper so that I don't have access to anything that people will trade for it.

 

Every restaurant should train their staff to follow your standards of "properly serving beer?". Write the manual then

 

I know it's not my comment you were responding to, but I have to wonder... Nice restaurants train their waitstaff how to do any number of things associated with properly serving a meal. Why would proper serving of a beer (aka, pouring it into a glass would be an acceptable minimal level of effort) be any different?

It would be pretty stupid for a waiter to bring your glass of wine out in a water tumbler, so why isn't it reasonable to expect that a beer be served in a similarly appropriate manner?

 

Same thing happened to me two weeks ago. I asked the waitress for a beer menu and she replies with "Well we have about anything. Coors....budweiser....miller..."
"Do you have deschutes?" So she goes and brings me back a deschutes and I ask, "What is the name of this."
She looks at me like I'm stupid and said bluntly "Uh, Deschutes."

 

I just find it irksome when people talk down about waitstaff like they're idiots because they don't cater to they way they want be served - like not wanting a chilled glass, how are they supposed to know every persons' specific internalized wants and needs? Every restaurant is different, and so is every server...because they are a person. If you don't like it, don't go out - serve yourself at home and be happy as a clam. Or become a server and work your way up to manager and then change it yourself

 

Fair enough. I tend to grin and bear it when I get a chilled glass, because I recognize that the knowledge that a chilled glass has a negative impact on the beer is a more nuanced piece of information than anyone who isn't obsessed with craft beer is going to have.

I was talking more about when restaurants don't bring a glass at all, or something to that effect.

 

Uh, nope. Its called the service industry for a reason. I work in it, and have forever. Proper serving of beer shouldn't be some mystical unicorn of a concept that people should feel shitty about expecting. Sorry that you're a server (I'm assuming, based on your catty overreaction), but get over it.

 

I'm in Brussels on business for the summer and I live 500 feet from Cantillon's brewery. I've already gotten used to drinking it in some form every day and I only brought one empty suitcase to take it and some Westy 12 back. I'm seriously considering trashing a couple suits for more room in my other suitcase. Okay, not really, but the 12 dress shirts I brought are definitely in peril.

 

No thanks, I have a real job.

When I'm forced to attend a birthday party or other event at a location I know doesn't have a good beer selection. Thankfully, there's whiskey.

 

My only gripe is limited releases are waaaay too limited.

 

Right on. I especially hate the bewildered look I get from servers when I specify an unfrosted glass.

 

I hate when a thread gets too awesome (and subsequently nuked) and everyone's "likes" are pillaged. Booo. Hiss.
