Beer news. Bardog good, Saucer bad.

I started the day at Bardog today. Unfortunately I didn’t get a window seat where I could watch Scratchy and tube tops pass by, but you can’t win them all. When I walked in I noticed this sign.

$2 Coronas. As someone who loves a good Mexi-beer I was excited to see this special come back for a second year.

Amanda was so excited about the $2 Coronas that she danced on the bar.

While I was at Bardog I kept an eye on my phone. I received this text from a friend of mine who went to Nashville for a scooter rally:

For those of you not familiar with the ticket above, let me explain. If you are a member of the UFO Club at the Flying Saucer, you swipe your card at the computer and print out a ticket to drink one of their 200+ beers. This ticket is from the Nashville Flying Saucer. As you see, it is for PBR.

Just to prove he wasn’t lying, he texted this photo of a PBR 16 ounce can, next to a Saucer coaster, on what is obviously a Saucer bar, in front of what is obviously a Saucer cooler. Bartender in Nashville told him they have had PBR cans since he started 6 years ago.

I always thought the decision not to carry PBR was a corporate-wide one. I guess I was wrong. It must be a local one, left up to each GM.

Kirk? Explanation?
