Pour your own

A pub in Troy -- Bootlegger's -- is now offering self-serve draft beer at six tables. Noted: there's more to this plan than first meets the eye. Says one of Bootlegger's co-owners of the new pour-your-own tables, to the Record's Andrew Beam: "We're trying to take over Albany and bring everyone to Troy." Your move, Albany. [Troy Record]

"We're trying to take over Albany and bring everyone to Troy"

Cohoes took over Albany a while ago. Set your sights higher. Invade Saratoga.

(1) I don't want to bring everyone to Troy. I love Troy. There is a reason I don't go to Albany for night life.

(2) This has dram shop act liability written all over it.

The end of tipping! A beer during happy hour costs $3 with a $1 tip. Without the tip, that reduces the cost of beer by 25%! Happy days!

So how much is an ounce?
(was it in the article and I just missed it?)

Oh Troy, you're too cute. So naive in your burgeoning bar scene.

Please, please take all these people away. Less for us to have to deal with.
