Can someone please explain to me what a "Beer Flight Option" is??

 

[chickenking]

As I understand it, it is basically a sampling of multiple different Beers.

Like a wine tasting thingy.

Beer flights are generally served at brewpubs as kind of sampler. Usually it's like 4-5 different beers in smaller cups to give a sampling of all the beers a brewery makes. Most breweries do this nowadays.

Then I do believe the first of us to take the leap & get one needs to give us a real rundown as to the value of it. $10 for a few samples of beer (most of which I have already tried) is a tad steep.

God, I miss the old AB brewery tour.......Can I get an amen on that??

 

[BGWScream]

I see foods in Germany, Italy, Spain and Greece that I would like to try.

Generally from a brewpub I can get a flight of beers for $5-6 for 4-5 beers or more even. Looks like this:

At BGW their specialty beers on tap run about $7 for 16 oz or $.44/oz. So if it's about the same rate, and $2.50 per beer, it should come out to 5.7 oz of beer. Hopefully we can expect them to dole these out in 6 oz cups.

I might see if I can sneak up there sunday and try one out. Unfortunately I have to work this friday and have a wedding to go to saturday.

They used to do a beer sampler in Grogan's not too long ago. The same plastic cups they used for wine was used for beer. Since I cannot drink beer (due to wheat allergy)- my husband said that it was a nice round for the price if it is a similar concept.

 

[IndyRacingNut]

(4) 6oz beers for $10....Okay yeah I can see that being a decent deal. Especially after paying more for a bottle of Budweiser at BG than I do at a Redskins game.

I think I'll try this when I go there for Father's Day. Hope it's not too crazy crowded, but it probably will. I'll be trying all the stews & chowders. Doubt I'll be riding any rides!

Just noticed an error on the Belgium big menu, they called the beef menu item the "perfect pairing for the Belgian BEEF flight."

Was this supposed to say "BEER flight"??

 

[chickenking]

Not sure. As I read it, it makes sense as a beef sampling with dessert pairing. Would be a huge OOPS on their part if it is a mistake.

 

[Zachary]

Yeah, that would be a typo.

 

[chickenking]

Try searching for beef flights. Lol

 

[IndyRacingNut]

Damn that auto-spellcheck!!

And where's Belgium's flag that's supposed to be attached to the fork like all the other countries have? I guess they forgot what it looks like. hahaha!

Hey, I demand free beer after picking out these egregious errors!!!

Learned a few tidbits today:

- Was disappointed to discover that you only get half of the Scottish Egg. But it it is REALLY GOOD!!

- Was told that the picture on the large Ireland menu is incorrect and will be replaced ASAP for the Bangers with Colcannon.

- Was told the Gravad Lox Rarakor has cured salmon that is NOT cooked; sushi style (if you like that kind of thing. Yuck!!).

- Plan ahead for your drinks. The booths I visited were NOT filling/selling your refill bottles with water, soda or whatever else. Along with the wine and/or beer, they are selling bottled soda, water in the big ice coolers. Cha-ching!!!

 

[pandorazboxx]

Is it at least a big half an egg for $4?

 

[chickenking]

It is acceptable. Check out the review:

Scottish Egg

Just look at this:

The wine looks gorgeous!! Want it now!!

 

[chickenking]

Completed the F&WF menus collection!! Unless they change it.

Noticed these stickers were added to the menus:

So how does this work? Pre-pay or give them a card to charge and they do...

Also are there pass discounts on these offerings?
