Out Of Season?
It Came As A Great Disappointment!
I'm not even sure where to start?
Not during the season? Are you absurd or what? Seriously are you though?
Before we jump into the greater part of this post I just have to rant a little about it! Just a little, I promise I'll try!
So yesterday we wanted to go do a beer tasting adventure... All seemed to be going great as we found the place open, the day before that we found it closed so naturally it was already a great improvement!
We got our seats and checked out the menu and I noticed that there isn't anything on the menu suggesting a "Beer tasting flight." Nothing of the sorts.
I then decided to ask the waitron about the beer tasting, his response was. "Sorry sir we don't have that during the holiday season"
Well why not? He can't answer me on that one.
Why?
I can tell you why! Or at-least why I think so. They want to scoop as much money as they can because they want you to buy each beer individually then.
A mistake in my opinion since most people can't drink that much beer and get on the roads, let alone one.
Squeeze It Out Of Them Billy!
IF they however did allow me to do the beer tasting they'd have likely squeezed more out of me than what I spent there and this would have been the case for at-least 75% of the people.
I'd have bought the tasting flight and another beer after that and something to munch on. Now I just bought one beer and something to eat.
Let's say the flight costs $5 USD. Let's say a thousand people came past the day and 75% of them wanted to grab a flight. How much have they lost, you can do the math yourself but it's a lot!
Not worth it, not worth it! I doubt I'd ever go back there!
Wow this was longer than I thought it would be?
Enough Of The Complaining!
I did get a beer after all! So I did get my beer tasting, just not in the way I hoped for! They had some nice beer, they really did! Me saying I won't ever go back there... well that is a lie! I might visit them during the off season for the tasting or I might pop in every now and then for a solid nice beer!
We also grabbed something to eat, something called a vikacha or something of the sorts! Made me think it was going to be some pizza thing, turned out the only relation to a pizza it had was being round! Laughs! Still craving that pizza though!
It's genuinely a very nice place it is! There was a nice big open field for both kids and dogs to run around and play with and there was even a wine tasting venue! Oh they actually did allow for tasting! Laughs! Might pop back in for wine tasting on the morrow!
The Plans For Today?
Well those are still uncertain as I am writing this one up! Mostly everyone in the house is still asleep, the weather is once again in a rainy state so I'll leave everyone be for now!
I do however think we might hit up the antique shops in Mossel-Bay today and see what new/old stuff they have to show us! It's a pain walking through them though! I just want to fill my pockets with all the cool stuff they have!
One thing that especially gets my attention are the compass's they have! Nice and golden ones! I might show you on the morrow!
Other than that I think we might do another coffee shop hunt and see if we can't fill our tummies with hot liquid on a fairly cold day!
