beer from the tap

[mugsy]

every time i drink beer from the tap i get the worlds worst hang overs - everything tastes like beer, my stomach feels like its revolting against me and i just want to keep my eyes closed.
but its so cheap, and most of it was free last night - but now i feel grossness all over. even my toes are hungover.

I love and prefer Tap Beer... it's tastier and better in all ways to the inferior taste of Beer from a Can.

it's about how clean the bar keeps it's tap lines.

the cambie is notoriously dirty. i've had insane headaches from that place, and not even after sleeping, just later in the night.

tap beer is ok. the best beer comes from a bottle.

^^
no doubt. bottle is definatly top of the list. taps can be good but sometimes its pretty damn dirt. as for can. well can blows

[mugsy]

i know, but it was $3 a pint and $9 for a pitcher... it was the bourban. usually they arent that bad.
i had some greasey food and lots of gateraide i feel better.

i want greasey food and beers

[booshka]

mmmmm beeerrrrr

I don't even bother with pitchers for this reason.

"Why didn't you just get a pitcher man?!?"

Oh I don't know, because no bars bother to keep their pipes clean, and you're not actually saving sweet fuck all by paying $12 for this small-ish pitcher, and because beer out of a bottle tastes better and I don't have to pour shit other than pour beer down my throat and.. I don't know, should I go on?

[crookedking]

they don't wash their glasses very well either!

THE GERMS PEOPLE! THE GERMS!!!

in addition to not cleaning the lines, at certain bars (my work incuded) the kegs are waaaaaay on the other side of the building in the farthest spot possible from the taps. so not only are the lines dirtbag gross, the beer has to travel all that way through the grossness of the lines.

also, notice when the beer is poured how often the bartender has to dump out the excess head. sometimes it takes 5 jugs of foam in order to pour a decent pint. all that foam will sit there for unsuspecting customers to order draft from the waitress. you get a half a jug of foam piss that has been sitting there for god knows how long. its sick but we all do it. we just know better than to order it.

go to the bartender to get a pint, they most likely wont give you mystery swill if you are standing right in front of them.

ahh the mystery swill.

Oh man, this is just re-enforcing my stance.

Can I get a whut whut for buying bottles? Now I don't even know if I'll accept a free beer from a pitcher.

tap beer's great sometimes, it really depends on the bar. i once made the mistake of getting tap beer at The Lotus. *shudder*

[P.A.R.T.Y]

Yep tap beer sucks. Won't do it again unless I'm at a classy place. No more Lotus tap beer, no more Shananigans tap beer.
