Pumpkin Ales and Cinnamon sugar on the Rim!?

I've never seen this practice, but if I did I would ask them not to do it.

 

I am with you on this.

 

It improves Pumpkinhead, especially when you also add a shot of vanilla vodka.

 

"$9 Pumking and they put Cinnamon sugar on the Rim."

Sounds considerably better than Corona with a lime wedge....

 

If you ask them not to do it and they still do it, don't accept it, send it back ask for the manager.

 

Yuck, some are already a sugary pumpkin pie mess. I had an Epic Fermentation Without Representation last week and thought it was the best Pumpkin offering I've ever had. It's a Imperial Pumpkin Porter, lightly spiced at the end. All spice maybe?

 

I think I would politely tell them that I thought I ordered a beer and not a margarita.

Though, if it's just that the waitress is eager to give a rimjob, then maybe we can work something out.

 

If they still do it even when asked not to, then that's definitely not cool and I'd send it back.

Otherwise, honestly, I don't have a problem with it. It's a Pumpkin Ale fer cryin' out loud- by definition it's gimmicky and festive, why not go all the way as long as it tastes good? Heck- they could blend it with a chocolate stout, pour it over ice cream, sugar the rim and add a cinnamon stick stirrer and I'd totally be into it.

(memo to myself- get ice cream and Young's Double Chocolate Stout on the way home)

 

What kind of bars are you going to? Where I go, the grizzled, bearded guys running the place wouldnt even consider something so ridiculous.

 

That's what ya get for ordering a pumpkin ale. Just sayin'...

 

The Pub I go must have 4 Pumpkins on tap right now.

 

OK I'll be that guy...I've done it. Didn't really add a whole lot to the beer, just ended up with cinnamon and sugar in my beard and a sticky face. Consider it a one-and-done.

 

I gotta say. I like it. Cant see why someone wouldnt to be honest. But to each his own

 

My question is where do you pay $9 for pumking at a bar? Yikes! I just got for 6.

 

They did this recently when my hubby ordered one. He wiped it away. Stupid gimmick.

 

If you need to put sugar on the glass the beer must not be good

 

They do it because people like it, if you don't like it ask them not to do it and get over it.

 

I've only had it happen to me once, but it was at a beer festival and the brewery was trying to get some attention.

If I were at a bar and they served it to me like that, I'd be bummed.
