- The Map Room’s tap handles are exactly what you won’t be able to see on Sunday.
Earlier this month I got a reminder of just how thoroughly the human brain conditions its sensory input. At an Andersonville restaurant, a friend was served the wrong beer, and it took me three samples at the bar to figure out what was actually in her glass—even though she’d been poured the same thing I’d been drinking not ten minutes before. Because I expected it to be something else, my brain stubbornly insisted that it was.
Beers from the menu will be priced as usual, and half pours will be available at half price. For $15, you can buy a flight of seven four-ounce beers, which comes with a work sheet where you can try to sort out the style and brewery of all seven (this is a “medium” or “hard” option only). Doors open at 11 AM, and blindfolded tastings begin at 1 PM. The identities of the beers will be revealed as their kegs kick; anything still pouring when the event ends at 4 PM will be unmasked then.
