Free Beer!

Haven't been kilted to a pub yet, but I don't go very often, either. I've been invited out, however, with some quite special friends in a week or two to a pub, so I'm thinking of being kilted for that. :-)

Just once. The time I mentioned about a week & a half ago.

What she said! I get offered beer just for being in the company of kilted men

. Add a mini kilt to that and, well, much many more free beer!

Be well,

You see, that's just not fair

It's great being a woman.

I'm surprised that I'm in the minority with "More than 10". I've only been wearing kilts about four years, but I often have strangers buy or send over drinks for me. Usually they have the typical questions (What do you mean you dont play bagpipes??, So there's no event going on?? Shoes and socks?...I don't get it). I have had one person buy because of the tartan I was wearing.

It may be because I live in a fairly rural area (NorthEast Indiana) so a kilt is a shock. It may be because I usually have a smile on and will joke and talk with the bartenders and waitresses so I seem approachable. It may be because I have been known to walk into a wide variety of places when I travel just to see the reactions I can get. I've been in upscale business bars, dive redneck bars, biker bars, strip bars, urban techno bars, and after hours places where if I couldn't ask for a beer in Spanish, I couldn't get one. I've recieved freebies in all, some for the admiration of the kilt, some for having the stones to wear one, and a couple from women trying to learn secrets.

The drinks have actually tapered off in the last several months. Most people in the bars I frequent have known me for years so by now my kilts are no shock or surprise.

I've never been out drinking in a bar or pub kilted. This is not to say that I have not imbibed alcohol when kilted... but just never in an establishment who's business was selling alcohol. I DO wear my SWK as my drinking kilt (tough to see beer stains on that weathered Lamont tartan!).

Good times all around either way.
