well for one i never go to pint night. I may have been to one Monday all year. Also, I always order off the just landed board so most of what i drink is rotators and seasonals that are here and gone pretty quick. So when i'm close to the end i'll have the mainstays to fall back on.

secondly, i have my beer knurd list bookmarked on my phone so if i ever need to know if i've had a beer I can quickly pull the list up and check a lot faster than going to the kiosk.

12/9/2010 11:56:02 AM

not sure what time they are serving it

12/10/2010 10:53:23 AM

They usually start serving things b/w 6 and 7


I might go, but I also might not... we'll see

12/10/2010 10:57:52 AM

Hit me up if you go early.. I don't want my Friday to be a total drag..

12/10/2010 10:59:15 AM

will do... I see no problem going there for dinner and a few beer (I don't think we want to make it a late night though, especially since I'm contemplating heading out and playing DG in a possible tournament way early tomorrow morning)

12/10/2010 11:00:56 AM

i should be there around 6 - 6:15

12/10/2010 11:05:19 AM

we'll I'll shoot both of yall texts if I end up making it out of there- what time could you go, Bryan? and will you be finishing up tonight if you go?

12/10/2010 11:07:13 AM

6:15 is good for me.. And no, I should finish Monday..

Living large I see!

Too rich for me. At the frequency I go there, I can't afford to drop $20 every time.

12/10/2010 11:47:49 AM

decided I'm gonna go tonight... don't know how crowded it will be for the bitches beer, but I'm gonna get my 3 regardless!

12/10/2010 5:13:24 PM

you know you're going to end up across the street for a jack/coke slushie

12/10/2010 5:15:13 PM

while that sounds yummy, I plan on actually going out downtown tomorrow night, so I won't be getting silly tonight

12/10/2010 5:15:54 PM

12/10/2010 5:17:04 PM

12/10/2010 5:17:25 PM

probably go up for 3 tonight, been a while since ive worked on the plate

12/10/2010 5:18:06 PM

I must say- I've been going pretty slowly on this new plate... finished sometime in September, and I'm only at like 26 on plate 4

12/10/2010 5:19:32 PM

my first plate took 3 months, 2nd is almost at 2 years

12/10/2010 5:20:54 PM

haha that is how I was- first plate took me 3.5 months, second 2 years, and the 3rd one took about 3.5


I had 2 bush lite 500's during the 3rd one though, so that took away some time and funds

12/10/2010 5:22:14 PM

I could really go for some of those tasty tots right about now.

dangit, somebody open a saucer up here!

12/10/2010 5:52:01 PM

The problem with NYC is that saucer thrives in markets where there isn't a big beer market yet - up there y'all have so many good beer bars that they would be just like an applebees opening up there.

12/10/2010 5:57:31 PM

plus their food game is lame compared to gastropubs in NYC

12/10/2010 6:02:13 PM

funny that you used applebee's as an example. there is one in manhattan somewhere near midtown that is apparently all the rage. people will line up on the street to get in.

I will never understand this part of the country....

12/10/2010 6:02:30 PM

while I used to love going to the applebees in stondcrest for pregaming, when a roach walked out of a salad at the one on hillsborough, that was the end of it for me

12/10/2010 9:16:48 PM

1203. Only 197 to go!

12/14/2010 9:41:01 AM

i need to find a regular group to go with

everyone i try and get to go ends up flaking out after a few weeks

Yeah, its the one in Times Square, and it's populated by tourists. Same reason goes for why there's a line out the door at the TS Red Lobster. It's nothing to understand about that part of the country b/c the people you're talking about are tourists.

I'd disagree. From my experiences the pub in NYC most comparable to the FS is The Gingerman on 36th Street. And I prefer the Saucer's food over what that place had. The bar that flat out had the biggest beer selection in Manhattan (as far as I know) is The Peculiar Pub on Bleeker Street. And I'm pretty sure they don't serve food at all.

12/14/2010 10:05:20 AM

can anyone go on wednesday night anymore? i've tried to go around 7 the past 2 wednesdays and it has been ridiculous in there. no way i am putting up with that crowd

12/16/2010 10:25:47 AM

you need to be there by about 6 or so on wednesdays, especially if you want a glass (and order the glass right at 7)


I shoulda gone last night, but I didn't :-/


will be going on sunday though!

12/16/2010 10:33:29 AM

the charlotte saucer was a circus last night for the xmas glass too. Wednesday is our night, and from what we've learned over the past year or so is getting there about 7:30 allows for the older regulars to have had their beer and gotten their glasses and they are usually out by 7:45-8ish. Usually we can swoop in and grab a table from someone closing out, but we got there at 7 last night and the crowd was huge and no one was leaving. Thankfully it was just two of us and we were able to snake a couple bar spots after about 15-20 minutes.

It's weird, I'm not really a huge fan of the special saucer glasses but those are always the ones that bring the crowds. I'd much rather have a brewery glass from a brewery i like over a FS glass.

why is there no All of the Above button!?

12/16/2010 10:39:23 AM

That was a pretty glass, but I was otherwise occupied last night. In other news, 30 TO GO TILL LIGHT URPLE!

12/16/2010 10:44:26 AM

^^lol still holding a grudge i see

12/16/2010 10:56:34 AM

oh, it's not a grudge... I am just going to casually throw nonsense comments after things that you post that are relevant to other people

12/16/2010 10:57:26 AM

carry on

12/16/2010 10:59:09 AM

I got there at 5 and there were no tables in the main room empty. They were shooting a Lonerider Beer commercial there as well.

12/16/2010 11:01:25 AM

now that I don't have to go into work, I might head there this afternoon. Anyone else interested?

12/16/2010 11:45:51 AM

i should have just bagged work for the entire day and went up there with you...

but, alas...i'm being a responsible adult and working

12/16/2010 11:48:57 AM

yes, yes you should have... still time to decide against responsibility though!

12/16/2010 11:50:47 AM

i'm already at the office

12/16/2010 11:54:13 AM

tell them you left sam outside, and you need to go save him

12/16/2010 11:54:56 AM

i'm not sure they would believe that...


besides...i have to clean tonight and i don't need to be hammered/hungover when i do that

12/16/2010 12:02:09 PM

It's cool... I dont expect many people to be able to do much this afternoon

12/16/2010 12:06:34 PM

Yeah what with the awful road conditions and all

12/16/2010 12:09:47 PM

well I know some people got called out of work, and others just opted not to go. But most people did end up going into work. I have no problem driving around (hence me asking if people want to go).

12/16/2010 12:11:34 PM

I'm not at the office today, but I am working from home. Brett, why don't you just chill out and go to the Saucer later like a normal person. Like 6-630

That's when I'll be out there for the tapping of a cask of Cold Mountain.

12/16/2010 12:15:45 PM

^^^state highway patrol has recorded over 70 accidents in the last hour. why chance the roads if you don't need to?

12/16/2010 12:16:40 PM

because I need lunch, have no interest in the crowd, and wouldn't get the cask beer anyway


ps- weren't you the one talking about how you had a day off coming up and wanted to do some day drinking? HOLD YOUR HORSES LIKE A NORMAL PERSON, BUSTER!!

I'm just bitter b/c I don't have the flow for some Saucer day drinking right now
