Date Night Last Night {Beer or Coffee}

So I have a really embarrassing story to share with you.

It started off with a much needed date night.  I actually didn't realize how much we needed this date night until husband asked me how my love tank has been and I remembered how good it felt to have those conversations. 

We decided we wanted to just have a relaxing night out for a beer.  We hardly ever spend money on date nights, but I had a few bucks in my wallet, so we decided we would do it.  Plus, it's been forever.

Anyways, I remembered seeing a "Cold Brew" sign in a new, local coffee shop near our home and thought it was awesome that a coffee shop served beer.  Now, if you're a coffee person, unlike myself, you probably already know where this is going. 

I am not a coffee connoisseur, however, I love coffee shops.  I love the atmosphere, I love the new space to think and relax, and I do love a good 'fluffy' drink.  You know, the lattes and fancy stuff that costs way more than a regular black coffee, but tastes a thousand times better.  Plus, I love supporting this new local shop. 

When we got there, I went straight up to the counter and the following conversation took place.

Me:  I hear you have beer!

Customer Service Rep:  Umm...no...where did you hear that?

Me:  Well, from your sign that says, 'Cold Brew'!

CSR:  Well, I'm sorry, that's brewed coffee...unfortunately, we don't have a liquor license here.

Me:  ...Ok, I'll have a latte.  Decaf.

Well, that was awkward...I should probably go tell whoever told me there was beer here that they were most definitely incorrect...(myself). 

Fortunately for me, that conversation didn't actually end that awkwardly; both of the customer service reps gave me a run down of all of the different types of coffee and what makes them unique and how they are made.  I don't remember most of it, but at least I know that when they say brew, they mean coffee.

Gave us a good chuckle.

Oh, and a little bit of advice.  Next time you go on a coffee date in the evening, make sure you emphasize the decaf.  It may or may not be 5am while I type this and I never went to bed...this hasn't happened since college.  Guess I'll be garage saling in a few hours since I'm already up!
