Do you have pfhlinger?
Memory is a shady thing, especially when a person was imbibing when they had a product. Working in retail, I have to interpret strange requests, exercising the art of decipher nearly every day. Some days I’m on, other days I just can’t translate. This category is dedicated to those sometimes strange customer requests that require special interpretation…
Man walks into a beer store, says to me: “I’m looking for pflfflng.”
Me: “Um, could you spell that?”
Man: “P-F-H-L-I-N-G-E-R”
Me:
Man: “Maybe.”
We continue to talk beer, later he says something about Mississippi Mud, a pre-mix black & tan beer that includes “Pfhlinger.”
Me: “Oh, Pilsner! You like Pilsners!”
Man: “Yeah!”
