Do it. Dooooo eeeeeeeet.
Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

There's also a bar in my neighborhood that does whiskey flights -- I just don't think that can ever end well
There's a bar in downtown Cincinnati that does this as well, I think it's Christie's. They have a very good selection of single malts and their flights are excellent.
Christie's is in Clifton -- are you thinking of Nicholson's (the place that claims to be Scottish)?
Also, do remember I live in Northside. Hipsters + whiskey flights = bad news.
Whiskey "flights"? Like, in an airplane? What is this strange and wonderful new thing?
I don't know that the genesis is with wine, but I first heard the phrase as "wine flights", which are basically 4 tasting-size glasses of wine, meant to be tasted in the same sitting. Often there's a common theme -- 4 different Pinots, or 4 Pinots from the same vintner, but 4 different years, etc. t edit It doesn't have to be 4 glasses; it can be any number, really, greater than 1.
And from wine flights you get beer flights (most brewpubs do this, where they bring wee glasses of all their beers), and now apparently whiskey, gelato, and bacon (!) flights.
Truly, we live in a golden age.

I believe the Yard House does sampler 6 packs. Basically 6 shot glasses filled with 6 beers of your choice.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've seen a bunch of microbreweries do the beer sample thing, but I don't think I've seen the term "flight" for it before.

Yeah, I don't think it's a beer thing.

Yeah, I don't think it's a beer thing.Maybe not all widespread and shit, but I've been to brewpubs that call them "flights." Or maybe it's spreading -- I mean, if there's gelato and bacon flights, why not beer?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Me, too. And now I really want to try both bacon and gelato flights.

Just now back at work, had to run some errands. Man, this would all be a lot easier if I weren't stupid tired. /capn obvs
