Interesting...

During a recent visit to my favorite local watering hole, I spotted a sign for this behind the bar.  To be perfectly honest, I thought it was a joke.  But I asked about it anyway, and it turns out it's a kind of great idea.

The bad news: pricing is as straightforward as you'd expect: pint times two.  So if they have, say, Bell's Two Hearted on tap for $6 a pint (typical for this establishment), you're looking at $12+ tip for two pints.

The good news: I really dislike drinking alone at bars.  The bartenders there, while friendly, have too much to do to make for good conversation most of the time.  And I rarely have people here who I'd like to visit the pub with.  SO...if there's something I really want on tap, but I don't want to go drink alone at a bar and I don't want four pints' worth, I can simply get two pints to go!  

So yeah...despite the fact that $12 can get me 72oz of something top notch if I make the hour long drive to Wegmans, this is an option that's nice to have.  Just in case.
