Title: Overheard in the pub.
Post by: googoomuck on April 07, 2015, 05:46:43 PM
Went for a swift half after work. Sitting in the pub minding my own business and three young women walk in. First one says to the barman "do you have any nice craft beers?" (At this point she turned to the other two and says that all she drinks now is craft beer). Barman says "all we have along those lines is rebel red, but we do have peroni, fischers and erdinger on draft also". "Are any of those a nice pale ale?" She says. No says the barman. "Oh ok, I'll have a blue wicked then please".  The mind boggles sometimes.

I was a wedding a few weeks ago and I had just ordered St. Mels brown ale and this lad says to me "oh is that craft beer", I replied "yeah its a brown ale" and he said "would that not blow the head off ya? I had some of that in town the other week and I was locked, all 18% stuff".

I asked a barman in a local pub a few months ago if he had any craft beer on draught. He proudly showed me his Tiger Beer tap  :-\

Heard a bar maid in my local saying that they now had "Dead Pony Walking" on draught.

Myself and Hingo in ATG, also yesterday. Polite lad comes over to the table, points at Hingos beer which is golden with a frothy head, asks 'Whats that lads, it looks like fairly normal beer'. Hingo, a bit distracted by the converstation doesnt pick up on the lads "fancy beer trepidation', tells him its Troubles Centennial SMASH from the Cask, off he goes. Cue 5 minutes later and three lads sitting glumly at the next table wondering why their beer is warm, flat and hopped to high heaven. I chuckled.
