Check me out on my California Trip

[SnapperShell]

This is me at BJ's brewery/restaurant. Mighty fine beer that night.

7 dollars for a nice sized sampler.

[MiScusi]

Yes their sampler is very good. I like all of their beers, although their Nutty Brewnette brown ale is probably my least favorite. What BJ's was that at? I hope you also got one of their pizza's- they are awesome.

[SnapperShell]

It was in Huntington Beach...and yeah i had the pizza...and the spinach dip.

Yumm.

[hopjack13]

you shoulda told us you were comming out this way, there are plenty of other good places to have a few beers in orange county. not that b.j.'s is a bad place...it just wouldn't be my first choice.

[Blkandrust]

That's one hell of a sampler!If that was my local bar,I'd be like"Can i have four sampler's,please"?

[fretlessman71]

Just how big are those glasses? WHOA!... $7 for that?

[MiScusi]

A single sampler is only half that (6 glasses), you see 2 samplers in the picture.

[SnapperShell]

The sampler looks bigger than it was ( camera adds 10lbs..hehe)

Also, my friend taking the picture is the owner of the other set of tasters.

[calidrunky]

I thought that taster looked familiar!

[fretlessman71]

Even the glasses themselves looked big... are they 6 oz.? 8?

[Audiopup]

Wait a minute. If they're 6 or 8 oz each it's like 36 to 48 oz of beer for $7. Around here you're lucky to get that in a bar for twice that much. I want to go!

[fretlessman71]

Well, let's be fair - I'm not sure. But they LOOK huge, don't they?

[toneyc]

Aye, but see, he's really a Leprechaun and those are shot glasses.

:D
Toney.

[fretlessman71]

Hey, we never heard back from SnapperShell - just what size ARE those taster glasses, anyway? :)

[calidrunky]

It just so happens that the owner of the closer taster set is yours truely. I'm the one holding the camera (not pictured). So I know they are 6 oz tasters. Yep, sometimes you get lucky and get eight 6 oz tasters for $6.95. And the beer is fantastic (esp. the Jerimiah Red).

[chazwicke]

Welcome Calidrunky! Many places will have samplers I've seen them from 4 ozers up to about 8. Just depends on the place. Many will have as many as 8 beers as well. Good place to start when you go to a brewpub and then you can select your favorites to order pints of after.

[fretlessman71]

That's 3 pints for $7! Jumpin' Jehosaphat! :D

[chazwicke]

Once again, price should not be a factor when it comes to good beer.

[fatboy570]

Down here in soutwest Mo there is a brewpub/restaraunt in the town of Aurora called Bootleggers. They have a sampler platter with 4 oz glasses for around $7. I and some friends went there one night to sample some beer before brewing our own first batch. Some good, some not so good, but it now seems a little pricey compared to eight 6 oz glasses for the same price!

Very true...but a bargain makes the malt all that much sweeter! :D

[fretlessman71]

It certainly does... means there's more left over to buy more beer later on! :D

[chazwicke]

Whoa! I never looked at it that way!:eek:

[fretlessman71]

That's what I'm here for, chazwicke. A fresh perspective. :)

(You're welcome....)

[chazwicke]

I was actually talking about Bluesharp's response And yours.

[fretlessman71]

Then you should have said, "I never looked at it EITHER of those ways!", now, shouldn't you have? :D

[chazwicke]

I suppose.:o

[fretlessman71]

Hoo boy... :rolleyes:
