This is what we're up against.... 15 years 11 months ago #1

I'm going to replay a little exchange earlier on in my restaurant between a customer and one of our waitresses!
Man: (Looks at beer menu with selection clearly available) I'll have a Heineken
Waitress: Sorry sir, we only have whats on the list but there are some very nice beers on there to go with the food.
Man: (Looks panicked and like hes just stepped in a puddle) Sooo, you don't have anything normal then? Just this stuff?
Waitress: As I said sir just whats on the list, could I suggest the James Boags, its a nice, easy drinking lager.
Man: (Downright shitting a brick at this stage as he's so far outside his comfort zone) No, no, no (Struck by a moment of inspiration of all those Erdinger bottles hes read the back of, feeling hes grasped this whole thing now, points at the Maissels) I'll have the (HEAVY EMPHASIS) WEISS beer! (Smiles happily at his own self apppointed graduation from beer dumbass school)
Wife then turns around and announces in the tones of someone who is convinced that she is in fact a sommellier and not a woman who is just following housewife wine trends "I'LL have a glass of Pinot Grigio"

I wish I could say this was an uncommon event but tragically its not!

Sorry, rant over, its been a long week!

It is not just an Irish phenomenon. Despite all of England's brewing heritage and the wide choice available there is a large proportion who will only drink mass marketed lager. I've seen the look of near panic when such a person is offered a real ale. Quite funny really. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
