Some of the neighborhood taverns (that still probably sell plenty of Duff) in the Seattle area that have decent craft beer serve pitchers too, it is just the pricing isn't usually low enough to compete with a lack of Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-38737430070218813602014-02-27T22:15:25.009-08:002014-02-27T22:15:25.009-08:00The thing about today's drinkers isn't lac...The thing about today's drinkers isn't lack of attention span, it's lack of consensus. Why go to a brewpub if you don't care what you're drinking? Put 5 people who care about what they drink together and how long does it take to hash out what pitcher they'll order?<br /><br />Consensus was easy back in the day because everyone drank whatever-lite.

Sort of like all the "pints" around town that are no more than 14, or at most 15 ounces. But then I don't recall taverns that advertised "64 ounce" or "half-gallon" pitchers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-81420559442538047922014-02-25T08:37:02.157-08:002014-02-25T08:37:02.157-08:00I do believe here in the Metro Denver area, you ca...I do believe here in the Metro Denver area, you can still get pitchers of beer. You need to prove that all who are drinking are legal and then be able to pay for the pitcher price of the beer. I think you can buy pitchers at Oskar Blues, Left Hand, and at the Mountain Sun's brewpubs. You would think that if you can buy a growler if seems reasonable that pitchers of beer should be available.

Little by little, pints became the accepted standard. One might argue they've gone away because today's portfolio drinkers don't have the attention spans to drink more than a pint of the same beer.

Responsible serving means responsibly monitoring. <br /><br />I drink faster than my friends - I hated pitchers, as I always felt guilty. Ordering also allows for self pacing... especially in a group. Dann Cutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788286445033083370noreply@blogger.com
