Here is a ridiculous conversation I had with 4 middle aged customers at my craft beer bar...

Me: Can I get you guys another round?
Customer: What is your favorite beer on draft right now?
Me: The Ichtegems Grand Cru, it's a sour.
Customer: What's it called?
Me: Ichtegems Grand Cru - it's a weird name but it's sour, sweet, salty, color of red wine.
Customer: What's it called?
Me: Icht-e-gems.
Customer: I'm sorry, I am having a hard time hearing you - what is it called?
Me: Icht--e---gems, Ichtegems.
Customer: (puzzled look)
Me: Do you want a sample of it?
Customer: Ya sure, what's it called?
Me: Ichtegems Grand Cru, I'll be right back. --- Ok, here you go.
Customer: Oh, that is good, what's it called again?
Me: Ichtegems, that is who makes it. Grand Cru is the style.
Customer's friend: Oh what did you get a taste of?
Customer: Ma'm what's it called again?
Me: Ichtegems Grand Cru, it's a sour.
Customer's friend: What is it called?
Me: Ichtegems, Icht-----ehhhh-----gemsss
Customer: I'll take one.

They were NOT joking.

You should have written it down for them after the second request. In fact, you should have business cards made up to specifically give to people with beer recommendations. Oh, and by the way, mention to them that there's this contest for best bartender. Maybe write the web address on it for them, too. wink

You are seriously beautiful. Sometimes unseriously beautiful, too. love

The first conversation made me laugh, you were very patient and they were dumb, but I laughed at that because I once dealt with an impatient person at work who must have regarded me as the dumb one.

He was instructing me and told me that I needed to use a "go no go gauge". Try saying that fast to someone who has never heard of a go no go gauge and I bet that it will sound like someone speaking Welsh. He got angry and red in the face when I asked him to repeat the phrase and he said the same words even faster, which did not help.

In case you are wondering, a go no go gauge is used to measure the size of an object, which is small enough to fit through a hole in a gauge (it goes) or too big to fit the hole (no go). He could have said that, but he just got madder at me!

Sour beers are the best! My favorites are from Cantillon, Cascade, and Russian River. Going to the Stone Sour Fest in July, super excited. Cascade sells beers online, you should get a bottle of Sang Noir if you haven't tried it yet. One of the best I've ever had.

Voted too!

I've voted. Good luck!

I was in one of my favorite craft beer spots in Chicago when a bunch of frat types wandered in, already drunk at 11:30 am. They asked for Miller Lite. Katie, the bartender, with a huge smile said, "Guess what? We don't carry ANY Miller products. Whaddaya think of THAT?"

They looked kind of confused, then asked for Bud Light.

"Guess what? We don't carry any Budweiser products. Whaddaya think of THAT?"

Eventually they asked what I was having and ordered that, even though they'd never head of anything called "IPA."
