Thoughts on Black Back Pub WB, VT

Been several years since I've been up that way for a night, but nice to know that once things settle down Blackback becomes the chill spot to just hang out and crush delicious beers. I never got why more people hung out at the other two while Blackback had the same or better tap list, and a low key vibe.

 

That sucks.

Edit: not because I don't like tulips but because pour size and value for customer must suck. Why do you guys accept this as the standard?

 

Why do you serve a 5.0% pale ale in a tulip? What's the pour size on that?

 

I get where you are all going with the pour size thing, but 5.0% or not, do you really think that HF kegs are priced like other 5.0% pale ales.

You need to decide if you would prefer a $7 13oz. pour, $9 16 oz. pour. This is more of a perception issue from the retailers stand point. If their board has many affordable drafts listed (not matter what size) they have a great reasonably priced tap list . If they are loaded with $9 + drafts (once again, no matter what size) people call them over priced.

They are in a no win situation, all I ask is that the pour size be listed right next to the price

 

Since my son lives in NH, I've been going to Waterbury for many years and have drank alot of great beers and as to cost, to me it's only money ....

 

I guess it's all what you're used to...

Coming from Boston my jaw always drops when I'm in VT and can get 10 or 12 oz of HF for $5.

 

Compare a tulip glass to a gyp pint- probably comes in pretty close.

 

I assume you are talking about a 14oz shaker pint - like the kind Cambridge Common used when I lived in Boston. But why compare to the worst possible alternative? Why wouldn't you compare to and expect a true 16-20oz pint for a pale ale or IPA?

 

Man, if that drops your jaw come out West.
