^they have training (every week I think) about the beer. So they should know a thing or two about the beer.

8/2/2011 10:28:50 AM

We were discussing how the bartenders know where each beer is on the wall.... There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Any insight?

8/2/2011 10:38:14 AM

the waitresses used to be much hotter. which is strange because now i'm older and creepier and they still don't look as good, which means they must have really fallen off.

8/2/2011 11:00:09 AM

^^it's not that hard- I mean, when I used to go 2-3 times a week, I would sit at the bar most of the time, and I got to know where the majority of the taps were (which is why, at the time, I learned that most of my preferred beers were at the far end of the bar, and thus decided where I sat )

8/2/2011 4:35:41 PM

I'm going to be there for trivia tonight

IIRC, it's arranged by distributor. To make it easier for deliveries, keg swaps, and line cleaning they are bunched together by distributor's brands. Then a lot of the local, random singles, etc. are on the right end along with the ciders. At least that's the main method to the madness in Charlotte

Had their chili for the first time today- i was pleasantly surprised

8/11/2011 4:55:02 PM

1504.

My pace has slowed considerably.

8/15/2011 11:31:21 AM

I drank all NA beers last time I was there (friday for lunch)

the waitress gave me shit for it (as she should have)


got the IBC, Hauke Beck, and Buckler- buckler actually tasted alright, but the beck's just tasted wrong, and I reaffirmed that I don't like rootbeer.

8/15/2011 11:38:23 AM

You going today? I'd be down to have a few pints after work!

8/15/2011 11:41:23 AM

maybe... but probably not- hit me up when you get off

(I might be persuaded)

Fullsteam event, anyone?

8/20/2011 3:14:14 PM

I wanted to go- unfortunately im leaving now to go into work

8/20/2011 3:31:47 PM

^eh, I heard it wasn't that good. Also, Fullsteam doesn't really impress me as a brewery so I don't go out of my way to drink them.

8/22/2011 1:34:19 PM

^They don't impress me either, but they do cool events and have some cool one-time only stuff. Have some stuff from them when they've partnered up with MotorCo. I can't stay away from Fullsteam because I love MotorCo so much. I also had to get their Lost in the Trees brew and glass for the concert at MotorCo last year so... I guess they still get my patronage.

8/22/2011 3:08:35 PM

I thought the food was pretty good... especially compared to the menu.

and I like their beers; can't say they're may favorite, but I enjoy them.

I had a great time there actually... got smashed... got stupid... got cut-off

8/22/2011 3:12:43 PM

damn flying saucer, growing up in raleigh, and 4 years at state, i never realized how amazing the saucer was!!!!

8/23/2011 9:42:09 PM

Went for Pint Night, there was about 5 times the amount of students than normal. Basically standing room only. And tons of people were just sitting and talking--not all that much drinking.

Was pretty annoyed.

8/23/2011 10:38:02 PM

It's standing room only a lot of regular nights, too. Not really a surprise there, especially with the first pint night with school back in session...

8/23/2011 10:39:47 PM

Okay maybe I should have been more clear.

It was barely-breathing-room-only and it was a flood of bright pink polos/dress shirts and backwards baseball caps, and there wasn't a single non-student there it seemed like, except a couple we sat with.

Just wasn't a very enjoyable atmosphere. Not saying it was crazy unexpected, but still

8/23/2011 11:05:46 PM

I was there on monday night... seemed about average when I got there around 10. Either way I finally broke my streak of 25 days going there friday night

8/24/2011 8:03:50 PM

Jesus Christ. I cconcede given it's been three weeks since I've been..

8/25/2011 4:10:53 PM

So, Wednesdays with glasses that are really sought after, how early do you have to go? I've never gone early and gotten a ticket (that's what they do right?), what time does that start? Basically I'm asking how that works, because I want an Octoberfest stein.

9/21/2011 3:22:30 AM

go at 5, get a ticket, come back at 7 and hand it in. don't come back later or they could be out even if you do have a ticket.

9/21/2011 8:18:52 AM

I was sad to hear on monday they are out of Cottonwood Pumpkin for the year.

9/21/2011 9:13:58 AM

Hopefully they still have the Weyerbacher, it's better anyways...

9/21/2011 11:35:59 AM

Got my stein. Saw a midget on a Razor in the restaurant. Happy.

9/21/2011 9:23:22 PM

I ended up getting distracted and didn't go. Awesome stein I bet.

9/21/2011 10:24:57 PM

Pretty sweet mug, but I question the price for it...

Always.

I have yet to get a stein from Saucer- but that is mostly because I think this^^


and I never drink out of steins at home- and my keg cups are all plastic (thank you old bar and pour house)

9/26/2011 11:06:43 AM

1539.

I view the Wednesday glasses there more as decoration now instead of actual glasses.

9/26/2011 11:18:19 AM

If I had a bar to display them on, I would keep getting them, but the only space we have for them is cubbards

9/26/2011 11:31:37 AM

Can you blow me where the pampers is?

9/26/2011 3:25:50 PM

1572.

The lull between Fall beers and Winter beers is upon us.

10/28/2011 8:42:42 AM

Man, they had Founders KBS last night but didn't tap it until 9. I had to go home before then

Guess I'll never get to try it.

11/4/2011 11:33:23 AM

anyone know if mildew was out there last night?

11/8/2011 2:28:33 PM

Plate Number 8 is within striking distance!

11/15/2011 2:36:42 PM

Indeed I was.

12/19/2011 4:09:54 PM

I do believe I'll be going tomorrow

12/20/2011 8:26:18 AM

Dammit all, the Saucer-gram quiz coupon is not valid tonight

12/21/2011 9:24:56 AM

Anyone know what the Christmas glass looks like?

12/21/2011 9:39:38 AM

yeah, it's pretty badass. I have two sitting on my counter at home.





heavy as shit too.

12/21/2011 9:42:25 AM

Lol, nice

12/21/2011 9:44:42 AM

1632.

Probably going tonight, but doubt I'll get the glass.

12/21/2011 9:48:54 AM

I have only drank 3 beers off my list...I gotta get that shit.

12/21/2011 1:40:26 PM

I shall be there tonight drinking some stouts and whatnot.
