The Beer Thread

[Yada]

i will definitely be checking out this new place in g'burg in the near future.

What's the deal with 13oz, 14 oz and 20oz pours?  (Stone IPA - $9/14 oz???)  Do they have their own special glasses?  WTF?  No pints?

a pint of intense & high alcohol beer isn't a wise thing to serve.  it's also expensive to make beers that big, or that are aged, or are made in small batches, etc.  so instead of selling you a $12 pint that no one would buy, they offer a 10 oz pour at $8.  and yes, many of those beer are served in style-specific glasses.

Nearly a dollar an ounce for some of those beers, nutty!

yup, and some wine costs more than $20 a bottle!

if you're looking for value, can't go wrong with Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro: 20 oz for $8.

In other news, a friend just made this haul back to DC so I'll be getting a little wacky this evening.

<insert jealousy>

Just in general though, those prices are pretty outrageous. I don't mind paying a bit more for a rare/excellent beer, but when a Stone IPA or Firestone is $9, that's wacky son!

Kid rock, would call you, a queer, cuz he don't care.

Oh I don't think so ... we'd start talking about old Seger or better yet Geils and we'd be partying hard...

I feel Kid Rock and I are kindred spirits..we both like to rock

I may change my name to Hutch Rock

Depending on the quality of the hairdresser, an additional $20 is a great deal for a salon session. I'm assuming their pretty skimp on hand massages or avacado facials at that price however, and they really get you by gouging you for $135 for beer.
