You love beer. You're also the type of person who tells it like it is, doesn't take sass from anyone, and who knows the truth is better than lying -- even if it would have spared Grandma's feelings. She'll be fine.
Here you are at your favorite local brewpub, enjoying a draft. What's this?! Your pint glass isn't filled to the brim? Son of a bitch. In fact, there's almost half an inch of vacant space -- space that should be filled by beer you paid hard-earned money for, dammit. And lord knows that because of the idiotic design of the pint glass, that vacant space up top could account for upwards of 15% of your beer. Unacceptable.
What does that jerk behind the bar think you are -- some kind of sucker?! Looks like he tried to swindle the wrong guy this time. Nice try, but no dice, chief.
Why will justice be served today? Because you have your beer gauge with you. Now you have evidence that you deserve -- nay, require -- a full pour.
No doubt that when you show your harried barkeep your pitiful pour, chart in place and evidence undeniable, s/he will graciously amend the issue. And definitely not mutter "jackass" under his or her breath. No, that was probably just a menu rustling or something.
Would it be going too far to call the beer gauge part of the arsenal in the fight against malfeasance worldwide? Probably not. Weird that it's so hard to get the bartender's attention for your next beer, though.
The Beer Gauge. Perfect for:
Beer drinkers
Douchebags
(Thanks, Consumerist.)
Great find, ATL! I love that the gauge actually resembles a scientific instrument, with helpful conversions from "total ounces poured" into "percent of pint missing."
ReplyDeleteHonestly, who in their right mind would buy this? It's like a license to get 86'ed by every bartender in town.
