Patron - "Give me the lightest one you've got."
Me - OK, that would be our oatmeal stout at 5.5%.
Patron - "But, it's dark, that means it's super heavy! Can you pour me the double IPA instead?"
Me - Sure, but it's 9.5% and much heavier than the oatmeal stout.
Patron - "I don't care, I just know that dark beers are heavier."
Me - *sigh* Double IPA coming up!
Exchanges like that are one of the reasons that I cut down on doing events this year. There are other dialogues that happen continuously that are pretty similar, but this one is probably the most common.
