You heard it here first, folks.
Recently–probably at Saturday's show with Clues, the Colourist and Parade of Lights–I noticed that our beloved Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa was no longer serving beer on tap. I thought maybe they were just taken out for the night, or maybe I just didn't notice them, or maybe they were being cleaned or being refreshed or something (is that something that happens? I've never worked at a bar).
Then I noticed it again on Monday at the New Limb/Stacy Clark show, and I decided to ask the bartender on duty. Here is a (rough) transcript of our conversation:
]
ME: Hey, when did you guys stop serving draft beer?
HIM: A couple of weeks ago.
ME: Oh, why?
HIM: It just took long to pour when it was busy here.
ME: OK, I guess that makes sense.
HIM: Yeah.
ME: Thanks! One Roy Roger, please.
I probably could have cut-off that transcript a little earlier. Anyway,
no more on-tap Stella, Pyramid or whatever else they had at Detroit.
But they still have plenty of bottled beers, including the new addition
of 32-ounce Stellas. That's some serious business right there. They'll be in full-effect tonight during their weekly BusyWork event, as promised by resident DJ Dan Sena on his Twitter.
