So today I finally walked into the Biergarten in Hayes Valley. Now as soon as I walked into this pig pen I should have realized what kind of mistakes were going on. First the line for beer was 20 people deep, only 2 bartenders and they serve half and full liters. With slow bartenders and large beers this means you wait way to fucking long for a fucking beer. Another indicator was the menu, only 4 kinds of beer but goddamn if you want a salad, pretzels, pickles, wine or fucking lemonade with some hibiscus bullshit in it they got like 30 fucking options.
Why was I here?
Because drinking outside is nice sometimes, I said fuck it, got in line, got some beers, and posted up at a bench. Quickly realizing I was the only brown person there on a Sunday. Given this is Hayes Valley so I shouldn’t be that shocked but it was more an indicator of just how amatuer the shit was. The beer options were boring and safe. German beer can be pretty fucking boring as it is, I don’t run with fools who think beer is fun the bigger the glass is. I don’t drink out of boots.
Anyways by the time I finished my beer the line was even longer and considering how long it took just to get one it wasn’t worth getting another. You spend more time in line than actually drinking. That’s not how I want to spend my days.
Maybe you like hanging out with yoga mats but yeah I got no reason to go back.
