Day 5 - Friday is beer day

After having sorted out the hotel stuff and safely stowed the car we landed (har har) at The Flying Saucer. Without doubt the best beer place I've ever been to. Crazy selection, with literally hundreds on tap. Per and me started drinking our way through the 10-15 pale ales on tap. I'd tell you which was best but I honestly can't remember.

I do remember getting to know some of the locals, most interestingly a repo-woman ("I steal cars for a living") and an honest to goodness libertarian. I thought they were only an internet legend.

Trivia And cultural observations

  • The flying saucer apparently only employ female waitresses. They wear short skirts, and tops sporting "Beer goddess". It's unclear if this is tacky or awesome. It's not like it's the kind of place you go to oogle waitresses. There was a hooters across the street.
  • The flying saucer and some other beer places offer memberships and register everything you drink. If you try 200 different beers you get on the wall of fame. All the walls were filled with them.
  • Event in a place with literally a thousand high quality beers to choose from, some people still buy Michelob ULTRA and bud light. What's wrong with these people?
