That’s One Way To Drink The Hair Of The Dog

I’m a bartender. A guy sits down and stares at the menu.

Customer: “What’s your cheapest beer?”

Me: “Pabst. Three bucks.”

Customer: “What’s your most expensive?”

Me: “Barrel-aged stout. Eighteen dollars.”

Customer: “What’s the difference?”

Me: *Laughing.* “Fifteen dollars and the word ‘craft.'”

I go into a brief summary of how a barrel-aged stout differs from the cheap stuff. I tell him it’s brewed somewhat locally and made in smaller batches. He ordered the Pabst.

An hour later, he flagged me down.

Customer: “I’ll try the stout, actually.”

Me: “What changed your mind?”

Customer: “I Googled the brewery. They have a dog in all their photos. I trust them.”
