Whoa, $15 for a pitcher of beer.
Makes me feel old. I can remember when you could get one for a buck at the Village Host on El Camino in Menlo Park.
(Actually, I always thought Zotts was a little pricey given the atmosphere. But, then I'm cheap.)

Also remember that my generation (millennials) generally have a taste for higher end beer and micros. I can't remember that last time I or one of my friends ordered a Miller lite. That's $15 for a pitcher (~4 pints if it's a real pitcher) of good beer like racer 5. At a bar I frequent, I can get a pint of something good for 5$, or a pitcher of Miller for 6$, but I'll take the former every time. Life is too short to drink shi*y beer.

Trying to reconcile those two phrases... :D ;) :-*

$15 for a pitcher of good beer is a deal these days.Â If that's the price for crap beer, different story.

Re: OT: Zotts - Robbie - 06-30-2016

I want to make a few things perfectly clear:

Zotts is on topic.

Anything negative about USC is on topic.

Long-standing rivals of Stanford athletics (Pat Summit) is on topic.

Journalism and editing is on topic.

Ridiculing ESPN is on topic.

(So, just about everything marked with 'OT' is, in fact, on topic.)

Then all we need to do is refine 'OT' as meaning "On topic."

LOL. Good is a relative term in college. Any keg that wasn't Natty Lite was the "good" keg and often hidden in a back room at a party. Henry Weinhard's was okay by virtue of not being Wiedemann's. Still not happy about my friend who mixed those up and bought the wrong case for me freshman year.Â >:( Today I doubt I'd be too happy about either.

BTW, did Zotts change their burgers? That picture in the article didn't look like the bland rectangle that I remember. I always loved Zotts, but it wasn't for the food. I usually solved that by drinking a bit extra.

At my first party, I bought two cases of Heineken and ten cases of battery acid generic beer from Safeway called Brown Derby, truly execrable stuff.Â Cost about 8 cents a can.Â At the party, we prominently displayed the Heiny cases, and everyone's first beer was a Heineken.Â After that, we'd pour a can of brown derby from under the bar, theorizing that young college types wouldn't know or care about the difference.Â Yeeshhh

Zotts & the Fighting Harbaughs - FrankO - 07-01-2016

the Bootleg sponsored a meet and greet of fans with Jim Harbaugh at Zotts about 6 or 7 July's ago... a couple of hundred or so came...out back in the Beer GardenÂ with beer, burgers and hungry yellow jackets ;)

Jim brought his dad, Jack... a spirited guy... Jack finished off the event by teaching and leading us all through the 'Ziggy' cheer...

forgot all the Ziggy words, but it was the cheer the team used in the locker room after victory...memorable

Re: OT: Zotts - fullmetal - 07-01-2016

Is that the cheer they tried to teach us at the Orange Bowl pre-game rally?Â That no one could decipher? :p
