I had to cut back on beer per night as my 2 tallboys was very much affecting my bottom line in both senses so now i drink a tall boy and then a polar seltzer instead because it tastes like something and has bubbles and i can chug it and feel something

Lifehack: Work in the brewing industry so you have cheap/free beer forever. By the alchemical laws of equal exchange, though, you must hand over your back, your knees, and any hopes of a living wage.

I'm going to Oktoberfest this year in Munich, has anyone done it and have tips? The Germany thread in D&D (which afaict is the only active germany thread) is just telling me not to go because it's a tourist trap. I know it's a tourist trap.

I’m going to be near Oklahoma City / Norman this weekend. Other than Prairie , any recommendations ? If I go into another mid west beer bar and they recommend Southern Tier to me I am going to go full Beale.

It is , but it seems the last few times I’ve gone west and stopped at the ol’ watering hole , Southern Tier IPA has cropped up on a tap handle .

If places have American Solera that's another very good Tulsa brewery. Also, to settle what region Oklahoma belongs to: it's in hell.

There's an American Solera location in OKC now, probably worth checking into. Everything I've had from Coop and Roughtail has been decent, but we don't get a ton of Oklahoma beers distroed in Texas other than Prairie so I can't speak to any of the smaller spots.

I drank the last bottle of Anchor Brewing beer I owned. I feel like I should bury the bottle in a flag-draped coffin or something. Seriously gently caress you Sapporo.

Get the Steckerlfisch wherever the food is, it's loving delicious. And as much of a tourist trap as it is, you'll end up sitting next to friendly strangers and have a ball. My mom and I went when she came to visit me during my time overseas and it was one of the best times we've had together during my adult life.

I hit prairie’s… outpost in the 8th street market . No samples no flights , that’s cool I guess . I went to 405 in Norman and had a great time with Trae and Justin tasting their beers . They did some barrel pulls to talk about how things were progressing , their brewery plans , etc . I also hit BiG in Norman which was hosting a forum for a progressive newsletter . They had great beers and it was actually really cool to walk into something like that and hear the town discuss LGBTQ rights and issues . The bartender there was cool . I ran into another , Chris , in OkC who was apologizing for it as it does monopolize the location. Mixed feelings but it was a great experience . Been a while since I have gone legit brewery hopping and talked to the crews at these places , great time .

No flights, fine, probably giving up free money there but your choice. No samples, I don’t understand, is washing glasses that hard? I guess Treehouse and similar places don’t do samples but those are just lines for beer, not bars.

Sampling can take up a lot of a bartender's time and attention when it's busy. Working a bar and having to politely pour samples for one indecisive dork while twelve other guests pointedly make eye contact with you sucks so bad.

I think asking for one or two samples is fine. I don’t think it’s out of place to ask to try something you’re about to spend $10 on, especially if it’s maybe a style you aren’t familiar with or whatever, but if a place has 15 taps and you’re asking for a sip of everything that’s a real dick move and you should get billed for a pint or at minimum leave one hell of a tip. If a place is really busy I usually just google the beer/look it up on untapped and see if it it sounds good to me.

Also if you aren’t going to serve flights, maybe offer short pours as an alternative.

If I'm getting a crowler filled at a brewery I definitely ask for samples unless I already know for sure what style I want. I have a pretty hard limit of 4 though. Just feels like common sense to not ask for too many.

One of our local bars does half pours of anything for half price which I always appreciated. Another does short pours for some beers for half price plus $1 which is more confusing and seems like a lot of work to manage on their menu.

They did offer 4oz pours for ~$5 a pop but you couldn’t get more than two at a time . I don’t understand that unless there was some local regulation on the number of “drinks” you could have at one moment . They weren’t busy at all but the person bartending had nothing to say about any of the beer either , so asking beyond the description on the menu didn’t really work .

probably a state law. in va, you can only be served two drinks at a time regardless of size (to control overserving and underage drinking), but a flight only counts as one because it's all part of the same order. but, yeah, no flights AND no samples is weak.
