Can't get any Stone beer here. Bastards.
If I give you my address will you send me some AB and Ruination? I'd also like some Hop Rod Rye if it's available.

how much you got the Sam Adam Utopia, Samichlaus, and DH 120 min IPA for?
Yes, inquiring minds want to know.

It's common to see someone whining at a pub/bar about them having all crap for beer and making a scene.
Microbrews are what the kid who only got Shirley Temples as a teen graduates too IMHO.

one of fav barley wine style beers is Avery's Hog Heaven.
Sierra's Celebration is supposedly good too.

It's common down here. Some pencil neck complaining he wants a beer, not the water off the bar or 'grocery store swill' I heard once.
If it takes anyone more than 1 minute to order a beer at a bar, they belong out with their women buying shoes.

If by order you mean, place your order, then I completely agree with you. However, I dont know any beer snobs that require that long to place their order with the bartender. The only people that take that long are those who fake being beer snobs. Deciding what to order can take some time, however. If you are in a bar for the first time with an extensive beer list, it can take a while to make your selection, depending both on how long the list is and how they have organized the beer list (if there even is one). If they've done it logically (ie, IPAs, stouts, porters, etc are listed together by style), then it shouldnt take much time at all. If they've done it to accomodate retards who like to order their beer from a region without regard to the style of the beer, then it will take longer for me to decide. I almost always have a beer style in mind to order, however I will look over the taps and what they have in the bottle in case there is something that catches my eye.
If the noise level permits it, asking the bartender what they have is acceptable (I'm a bartender BTW), so long as you know what you want. Asking what IPAs are in stock is a easy question to answer. Asking "what beers do you have" without narrowing it down in a bar with ~90 different beers is going to be rather unproductive. The only people who take more than a minute to order are the retards who pretend to know a lot about beer, but couldnt taste test the difference between a pale ale and a doppelbock.

I agree here... I am talking about the idiot taking up a bartenders time throwing out 'do you have this?', 'ok, how about this?', 'ok...' or the classic 'What's the best beer you have?'
In most bars you can see the drafts clearly at the bar...and most have menus or a list somewhere of the bottles (or cans ).

I drank some Arrogant Bastard Saturday night. And some Stone IPA, too, come to think of it.
For free.
While I was working.
In front of my boss.
With his knowledge.
And encouragement.
I only wish that they sold Stone Pale Ale around here. But until that happens, I'll just have to console myself by drinking good free beer on shift. The Rodenbach we have on draft this month is fairly nice, but not nearly as good as their Grand Cru, which we only have in bottles.

its funny though what you said about some people not knowing good beer exists because all they know is coors light from commercials (joe six-packs if you will). i have a friend like this who absolutely *refuses* to go this microbrew down the street from us. he'll stay at home and do nothing rather than go down there. "dont serve coors light? ill stay at home and watch tv then." oh well, the place has arrogant on tap, more for me then.
a healthy amount. actually, a few waitresses at this place look pretty nice also. but its right next to a movie theatre also, so you have to watch it or you might catch a case r. kelly-style. but of course the girls show up to consume the mixed drinks.Originally posted by: alkemyst
