McDonald's kids weren't ready to take over when daddy retires.

I have seen this on more than one occasion; quite honestly my dad is starting to retire and I wonder if I am ready. The worst part is when the kids are ready to take over and all of a sudden they get cut out of the business courtesy of the board of directors.

How about a beer frustration?

At a restaurant over the weekend that advertises a local rotating handle and the serving staff (including the on duty bartenders) do not know what it is. Not even the brewery name! :eek:

Better yet different restaurant (Ernesto's in Sacramento) same idea. Server told me they were out of the local Beer and I turn around to see the bar tender serving it. :mad:

The other day I was at Fuzzy tacos and their sign said $2 domestic 18oz beers. I ordered an 8-bit from tallgrass and it was not $2. They are literally ten minutes away from where I was, how more domestic can you get?!

It's a dumb restaurant syllogism
1) Domestic beer is flavorless
2) The beer you ordered had flavor
therefore
3) The beer you ordered was not domestic

Logically sound, right?

I guess that makes sense as to why another place Ive been too listed boulevard wheat as domestic but tank 7 imported!

The same kinds of restaurants will also list Sam Adams or Leinenkugel under "imports." I've even seen Killian's Irish Red listed an an import. :confused:

Of coarse it's an import it has Irish right in the name
 
I do all the time; same as when the wife asks what I'm cooking for dinner I tell her food, and when she asks what kind I tell her delicious (you would think after 12 years together she would have learned not to bother asking).:)

My dad was the same way. I'd walk in the living room and ask "whatcha watchin'?" and he'd look me in the eye and say "Television" every time. And yet I'd still come in and ask the same thing next time.

I think you'll find a lot of brewers cook. If you happy consuming McD's and Domino's good for you.
I cook,I enjoy it and I enjoy the end results.

I enjoy brewing and cooking. But I also love Mickey D's and Domino's! Best of all worlds!
 
This isn't exactly about beer, but I just got back from by LHBS. As I was walking in, I noticed a fella with a bag of product walking to his vehicle. This isn't anything noteworthy, except he got in a big white van that said "BUD LITE" on the side...Pretty sure he was a distributor

Congratulations to what looks like your wedding and that great looking kilt.

Not my wedding was a buddies whose family is full blood Scottish, Freakin 100 degree weather and a wool kilt was not the greatest for my unmentionables. Needless to say i got no play that night.
