Ordering beer and wine in the US can be complicated, and I’ll not even mention trying to order a coffee!  It’s common for a craft brewery or tap house to have dozens brews to choose from.  It’s also common for the wine list to look more like a book than a list.

For the last two days, Jim and I have simply ordered “cerveza.”  No further specification is required and a cold, frothy glass of Pilsner is delivered to the table.  Ordering wine can be as simple as specifying “vino tinto” or “vino blanco.”  Of course, you can request a wine or beer list, but, as Jim put it “Why?  I order a beer and they bring me something good at a fair price.  Why make it more complicated?”  Well said Jim.  Well said.
