Bartender at Chomp went down the whole beer list in agonizing detail when taking our drink order and then audibly groaned when I ordered a 'gansett.

Hell yeah. I love some nicer beer every now and then but with a burger you can't go wrong with a 'gansett.

Does it bother you too that the brewery doesn't have regular 'gansett?

It does, but it's because the law says they can only serve beers they make onsite and they don't make the lager at the brewery.

But that's only because they went for the easier taproom license, rather than the harder/expensiver full bar license, right? Or is it actually impossible to serve both brewed and bought drinks in the same location?

Its because the lager is brewed in Rochester NY. The beer you drink at the brewery is made there.

Tbf, I feel like the groan was called for

In all honesty I agree. Their beer list is pretty well curated I just prefer simple lagers. It was just a funny moment.

Also if I'm spending +$8 on a bev, it's going to be wine or a cocktail.

8 dollars will get you two buck chuck wine or a high class beer. I always found it weird the people that think wine in all forms is better than beer.

I mean, why have 'Gansett on the menu if you're going to act appalled when someone orders it? Just take it off the menu and do craft beer only.

I think it’s nice to offer a cheaper option for people, but it deserves at least a sarcastic groan when someone is considering the full list and then opts for a ‘Gansett

They should put it in a separate section of the menu, then. Have a main drink section titled "Craft Beer Selections", and then another section titled "Fine, Here's Some Swill for the Unwashed Masses" with Narragansett underneath

I’m fine with this proposal. Let’s pitch it to Chomp

Anyone that orders a gansett not for the express purpose of getting drunk on the cheap is a psycho in my books.
