I took a lunchtime stroll to Dan Murphy's this afternoon to collect a workmate's leaving present.
Said workmate was asked to provide a list of his favourite alcohol. We walk about alcohol a bit in my team and I had a few ideas about what they might like, but still it's nice to receive a leaving gift you might like.
Their response was as follows:
- Japanese whisky
- Deep reds
- Craft beer.
Yes, my colleague is a bit of a hipster.
The collection was taken up. The click and collect order was made. Then I found I had a bit of extra money in the kitty.
So, arriving at Dan Murphy's, I collected the said Japanese Whisky, but then asked the the shop assistant if she could point me towards the wanker beer.
"Wanker beer?"
"Yes, wanker beer." I said.
"I don't think we stock that."
I then explained I was after craft beer that hipsters drink - i.e. Wanker Beer. She still looked at me blankly. I think she may have had a bit of an irony deficiency.
"Okay, try again. Where can I find craft beer from smaller breweries."
This she understood. But she was bemused when I selected four random cans from the shelves which came to just under $20.
I still find it hard to believe that a staff member at Dan Murphy's doesn't know what wanker beer is.
Oh well.
