We always try to keep our blogs upbeat and positive mainly because we think it is burdensome having to write about the negative things we encounter. But, I will break our golden rule and tell you about the Tap Room at the Lodge in Pebble Beach.
We were at a wedding at the Lodge on Saturday and popped into the Tap Room to grab a couple of pints. Being Pebble Beach, I WAS expecting to be gouged. But when our two pints of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale came to $23.60, I was shocked – so shocked that I calmly handed the bartender $25 and walked away. To give the Tap Room some credit, at least they were imperial pints… to charge $11 for a 16oz pint would border on criminal.
Never again will we spend another beer dollar at a Pebble Beach. And we encourage everyone else to boycott Pebble Beach, too.
Can anyone top $11 pints plus tax?
Hi Chris,
In Esbjerg last week we paid DKK128 for 2 1/2 litre bottles of Erdinger Hefeweisse. The exchange rate at the time was 9.44 DKK to the £. Works out at roughly $31 for 2 imperial pints. Needless to say we didn’t have a second round!
We have a new winner!
Maybe not just yet.
