Like with anything, keep your head on a swivel and take nothing for granted. I've never had issues but my sister was mugged at gun point, pistol whipped, at the Cold Spring station in the 90s.

Why not go back and read the thread yourself instead of making me re-explain. I was simply telling him that it's not true that the brewery only makes the blonde.

He said "That’s not even the beer they make at that brewery." when in fact they've made stouts including nitro stouts in the past (Nitro Coffee Stout and Nitro Vanilla Mocha Stout).

Put your name in & go to Fadensonen, Dutch Courage or WC Harlan for a drink. They specifically know people do this and will call/text you when your table is ready so you can head back.

I think I love your city because it reminds me so much of how Hamilton, ON is… where all the small businesses are the places to go try and all the big ad corporate sponsor spend is the worst shit ever…

It’s a nitro stout in the picture. U mentioned a stout that isn’t nitro. Why even mention that at all if not talking about the photo which is what we are talking about? Great point lol

This makes total sense for a tourist, NGL

As of two years ago, they had ten people making six figures, and it's nearly all funded by hotel taxes.

I wonder what their metrics are to determine whether they are worth the outlay.

Maybe you mixed up two commenters, but I never claimed that the picture WAS the Over the Moon Milk Stout, for the record. Nobody is claiming to know EXACTLY which stout is in the photo except for you.

indeed! 13 year old me thought it was hilarious, though. Mid-30's me still thinks it was pretty hilarious.

If you opt for Mt. Vernon, keep in mind that the bus route stops at the Monument next to Peabody, so look close to that. Otherwise, Hampden is nearby and Charles village is also well-loved.

It presents well as a small image on a small screen. That was likely the primary reason it was chosen, inasmuch as money/funding also maybe (likely) played a role. But otherwise, yeah — no plans to stay there.

Congratulations on the new job!

I suppose. I guess I just disagree that this particular, relatively inconsequential piece of likely necessarily quickly assembled copy (note that the bags appear in other places on the website as well) has much import or relevance. Or that it was insufficient for the task, or that the CEO’s salary has much bearing. I mean whatever - people are welcome to gripe. Much of the rest of their graphic work is perfectly acceptable.

haha that wasn't me though! How was I proved wrong when I never said that? You wanted to talk about nitro stouts and I saw that they literally have their own nitro stout on tap RIGHT NOW lmao.

My initial comment wasn't even defending the ad at all. Just defending the fact that the brewery is worth visiting because they put out more than just the Blonde, including stouts (and even nitro stouts!) that the first comment referred to. It's definitely a lazy ad, but they're highlighting a local brewery by displaying a familiar type of beer that the brewery typically puts out. This has already been explained to you by another commenter, so I won't rehash it anymore than that. Your initial agreement with the fact that "That’s not even the beer they make at that brewery. They make the Guinness blonde there" is factually incorrect. Maybe "If u were less dumb" that would have sunk in by now.

I'm just saying that, of all the criticisms you could make, this one is pretty weak. They brew stouts, even sometimes nitro stouts at the Baltimore location, and the original comment mentioned "That’s not even the beer they make at that brewery. They make the Guinness blonde there". The ad is terrible, but this criticism is a reach. No need to call the entirety of their taplist aside from the blond and the imports "obscure".

When Guiness had to lobby to build their brewery? Total coincidence, of course....

I’m local. But Extra-Ordinary birthdays is pretty cool.

Insurance in Baltimore is very high, but the drivers are some of the worst in the country so it's a circular thing.

Artisinal coffees, cupcakes, or candles.

Graphic design is my passion

If u were less dumb u would see that my comment that u originally responded to was about “over the moon” milk stout and then u jumped in talking about a different beer

I love a hot toddie, but mulled cider sounds perfect.

I appreciate that! I did it once before (Feb. 2020) and that was way easier. Not much happening in February haha.

Definitely feeling a warm drink!

Oh I forgot that Guinness open gate made this themselves? Or maybe u can’t read very well hmmm which is it

The criticism is of the ad company, not the brewery
