    Is there any truth in that? I could see it at the start of the business, but on current patterns it always sounds like a poor business model from the breweries to me.

    I assumed it is the volume of trade they have, that means they can cut out the middle men and buy straight from the brewery. Their size also means they can take a lower profit margin, especially as they have long opening hours, food that is family friendly, and they buy up (or lease) old buildings that are much cheaper, and don't have a bad reputation to overcome that would be the case if they bought old rundown pubs.

    No, it’s an urban myth.

    Did that last week, I'd just got back home, and hadn't taken my coat off, when a chugger knocked on the door. :emoticon-0138-think

    I'm sure I was served by her at the Hofbrauhaus in Chicago. I bought a round of shots and then was rewarded by her by being bent over the table and spanked with the paddle the shots were served on. I was in love.

    Accuracy is important, as is reading the article, something some on the HDM site failed to properly do today. Of course there's always some old duffer ready to point this out to them. :emoticon-0138-think
