text: I want to like Tipsy Cow more.  The location is great.  The few times I've been in, the crowd seems fun and the taplist is usuall solid. \n\n But... well, this past Saturday afternoon, I stop in and ask the barkeep for a beer that's on the chalkboard tap list. The following conversation ensued... \nbarkeep: \"Oh, we're out of that.\"\n OK, I order a different beer. \nbarkeep: \"Oh, that's gone, too.\" \nSo... what else is out of date on the tap list? \nbarkeep: \"Oh, everything else is up to date.\"\n OK, and what do you have on tap that isn't on the list? \nbarkeep: *blank stare*\n... OK, I don't see Three Floyd's on the chalkboard, but there's a three floyd's tap. what 3F are you serving? \nbarkeep: \"Uh it's an IPA\" \n ... I wait, since 3F has a bunch of different IPA/IIPA/DIPAs...\nbarkeep:  \"IPA means India Pale Ale\"\nThanks for mansplaining IPA to me in a completely non-helpful way. (If I didn't know what an IPA was, why would india pale ale help? come on.) And thanks for refusing to check the keg when I asked.  \n\nI usually try to visit a place a few times, and try to not let a single experience sour me, but it was a Saturday afternoon with very few customers. The bartender should know what beers are available, and telling me he didn't need to check the keg because it's an IPA is not helpful.  Having an out of date tap list is worse than not having a list at all, and the combination of the two was very frustrating.  \n\nI won't be going back to Tipsy Cow for a while, but hopefully they can work on improving the mediocre service.
