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.
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.

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?

Me, too. And now I really want to try both bacon and gelato flights.
well, there's that. No, you're right.
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
smonster needs a transporter.
I've been seeing a phrasing on a lot of craigslist ads around here lately that I don't think I've ever seen before: this needs [verb]ed. Like, "the hinges need replaced," or "the upholstery needs cleaned" or "the table needs refinished" or things like that. Is this a Pennsylvania thing?
