Tonight I went to dinner with my wife to a restaurant with a fairly good beer selection. The waitress offered me a mystery beer for $1. Since they had like 10-15 taps with a lot of craft beer I rolled the dice. I know it would be beer they wanted to get rid of. I got a holiday spiced ale. It was a little odd to be drinking a spiced beer on a warm night but it was not bad. I decided to roll the dice a second time. I got a light lager.
That’s the first time I have ever experienced mystery beer. I didn’t get the best beers but I don’t regret spending the $2 either.
Yeah, and they make a beer or two I’ve liked. I just can’t take much spice in a beer. I know the pumpkin beer guys would disagree. Honestly at a buck for even that beer it’s hard to complain much.
First, if your considering it for business purposes you should know the servings were smaller; 10 oz pours I think. Served in a Dixie cup. I didn’t care because it was $1.
The waitress told me its very popular with folks who have been drinking a while. They’re just looking for alcohol. Her words.
I think it could be fun. I think you could get more than $1 for mystery beer fresh at the brewery. I think half the normal pint glass charge still seems like a good deal.
You might charge regular price and give it too them free (or reduced price) if they can guess the tap.
