Disoriented

Not being a beer guy, I headed to the HopScotch Festival yesterday with high hopes for the scotch tasting. The website claims "a flight of 5-¼ oz. single malt Scotches is available for just $10." But the "scotch tasting" was anything but.

• Bulleit Bourbon: Bourbon is not scotch.
• Crown Royal Reserve: This is a blend, not a single malt.
• Bushmills Black Bush: Another blend.
• Johnnie Walker Green Label: Another blend.
• Talisker 10: Single malt, but it's a whisky.

Each was served in a thimble-sized plastic cup -- far from the claimed 5¼ ounces.

I know this is a benefit for the Seattle International Film Festival, but I demand a refund. I will be staging a silent protest of the SIFF and encourage everyone within the sound of my voice to do the same.

Fortunatly, I found solace at Brouwer's. (The pommes frites are amazing.)
