I was in a bar that will remain nameless last night and was making my way through the beer menu. Decide on a Rochefort 10 towards the end of the night. When i first asked at the bar i was looked at rather odd. Then a bottle was produced. Ice Cold (and i mean ICE cold). No glass. "Can i have a glass please?". Out comes a half pint glass. Trying not to sound like a beer geek i ask for a different one. Out comes a pint glass. "Sorry, but do you have any wide bottomed glasses?". Out comes a Cabernet Glass. I accept defeat and return to my seat to remain there with the bottle between my tights for 15 minutes trying to warm it up.

Maybe I'm being just too fussy... But they should at least keep a couple of them out of the fridge...

EDIT: tights -> thighs, lol!

Name and shame, in case it happens to others of us.
In most of Europe you will only ever get the correct glass for the beer.Default. Don't know why it's such a big deal here.

My most recent experience was monday on the airplane - you can't ask for beer cos you get little metallic tasting cans of muck. So red wine. Except it too needs to sit next to the little fella to make it drinkable...

Didn't have any tights to put it between though - does it work better if you wear them?? <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

You went back to edit, and still missed this <smilie thing>


Staff training becomes a bigger issue as the variety of beers increases in a pub.
In a local pub here last year I was seved a dunkel with the query 'what's that like, Smithwicks?' (from the bar worker). The owner quickly jumped in, and chatted to me about the beer, but if he's not going to train his staff he has no-one to blame but himself. Funnily enough in his restaurant upstairs the staff will go into minute detail for you about any wine on the list.

Sorry about that... Rushed the post and didn't really read over it. Distracted by some photoshop i'm playing with!

I'm always getting Rochefort too cold in a certain Temple Bar establishment. Annoying.
