Do you sample multiple beers when you go into a bar?
Given, I bartend so I’ll probably be in the minority here, but asking for samples of beer is the lamest garbage and wastes everyone else’s time.
You can’t decide on one and then drink it even if it’s not your favorite? Or just tell them you’ll pay for it and toss it, order a new one?
So you have someone walking around doing super minor but time-consuming tasks while you decide which lager you’re swishing around in your mouth has more of a “malty” flavor when in actuality you don’t know a damn thing?
You can’t do this with liquor or food and people seem to adjust just fine, so why do people think they deserve 3 tastes of beer and 8 minutes deciding?
Just annoying because 89% of people wouldn’t know if I gave them a lager or a Pilsner, a stout or a porter, etc.
Sometimes, I’ll bring someone a beer they didn’t ask for and they’ll say “oh yeah! That’s the one, just like the time we had it at (insert bar in other tropical location)!” When they actually just had a completely different beer but have no clue what they’re talking about, gives us keeps a laugh to get through the day though.
And nowadays when people ask me which is my favorite I say idk, I don’t drink which seems to piss people off lol, so I respond with a, “you know most successful drug dealers don’t use their product because they know better…” and slowly walk away 😆.
