Next door in the regular barrel house they serve everything in glass. Buying the glass wasn't even advertised, it was just the only other option. If they were smart and accommodating they would have just let Jim get a clean glass from next door and pour it in there for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959077353247004228.post-71407650081731925532011-10-12T16:24:04.321-07:002011-10-12T16:24:04.321-07:00Just attempting to understand what they were doing.

That goes for beer festivals, on grass or on concrete, too. The "common" plastic beer fest glasses out here drive me insane and on more than one occassion the plastic smell coming off of them was overwhelming. As for a bar or restaurant serving in plastic, there really is no excuse, unless of course a burgler broke in the night before and smashed all their glasses and there were no suppliers open for them to replenish. I'm proud of you (or anyone that walks out upon being served in plastic).Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07266585394191707735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959077353247004228.post-24017153421099603132011-10-12T12:51:29.025-07:002011-10-12T12:51:29.025-07:00Correct, Will. Put this in the context of a top-shelf winery, and it would be entirely unacceptable.

It just makes Cascade look amateur, which all of us know, they truly are not.squaremilenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959077353247004228.post-12982461127373790812011-10-12T12:05:47.306-07:002011-10-12T12:05:47.306-07:00Thanks, Tim!GoodbyeOhiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06355938728009455030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959077353247004228.post-87334074444987657272011-10-12T12:02:24.248-07:002011-10-12T12:02:24.248-07:00I just have a hard time using a plastic cup for any reason. And for the record, I've drunk Cantillon straight from the bottle when I didn't have a glass. When I host a beer or wine party, I always use glass. In the last 10 years only 1 glass has broken and that was a fault w/the actual glass. In cases of public venues that do not allow glass, I've gone to acrylic.@mdolemitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10631192328473976859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959077353247004228.post-88621391215053037892011-10-12T11:43:52.600-07:002011-10-12T11:43:52.600-07:00Great post and you're right on!timgrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11057894910022587222noreply@blogger.com
