Sometimes you like a beer enough to drink eight 8 ounces, but not 16. Sometimes you just want a taste of beer before strolling the whiskey path. But the biggest problem I find, especially in the world's better bars, is that too many interesting beers are waiting to be had; I often want the saison, the pale ale, the IPA, the porter and the barrel-aged stout. But that doesn't mean I want five pints of beer (well, not always).
