Free flow is a tempting event, even Beerbeer 2nd anniversary have free flow beer. But sadly many free flow event doesn’t really impress yet make frustration and blacklist to the goers. This year it self already have a few in my list, waiting for beer is not something pretty especially we are going for the drinks.
First on the list is Zouk 7th Anniversary. Very very sad free flow party… hundreds of people cramping outside waiting to get in, hundreds more cramp inside waiting for the drinks. There is like another hundred over people lining up for the free flow drinks at the bar counter… this is just a con job to lure people to the place but have not much intention providing free flow. Marketing gimmick that are con consumer in every single way.
Second on the list is Overtime Starker Dunkel launch at Pavilion. Nice free flow of buffet food but not the beer beer. The food you can get it yourself, but the beer is just have to wait freaking long. The reason is they only have one tap for such a big crowd. At least 300-400 hundred people are in there including media and guest but there is only 1 tap running. How weird can that be? Plus when the beer is launch, non of us at the media table have beer with us. To wait 1 hour for beer…. this is a sad launch.
I know there is more sad free flow event especially launch of new places or anniversary. Many reason of failure in this type of free flow event here are some of the reason.
1. Untrained Staff
New outlet are more chaotic as the staff is not well trained. During this kind of full house crowd, the staff can got confused, panic and not fully function.
2. Over Invite
This is always the case of free flow event. Beside invite people from facebook, they also invite VIP, VVIP to all squeeze into a tiny places. Then expect everyone to enjoy a good night there.
3. Misused the word “Free Flow”
Is quite sad that free flow event have no free flow. Sometimes you only have 1 glass of beer for time wasted there. By the time you realise it, you may end up buying the beer to enjoy the crave you already lust for. Even worst is 4 kegs beer for 500 people… how sad can that be.
So the next time you going for any free flow party, please be prepare that you may end up more frustrated then happy as sad event kill joy.
Note:
Beerbeer 2nd anniversary is not a good free flow event either, the free flow ended too soon. I’ll try my best not to do any free flow event anymore. Unless it can make everyone happy.

Beer price war have never been so interesting till lately. We have all sorts of deal from Buy 1 Free 1, Buy 1 Free 2, Buy 1 Free 1/2, RM1 beer, Beer Buffet, RM50 for 3 pints and etc etc… that I don’t even know it exist.
Competition between outlet is quite crazy but it only happen in certain areas. Once the first outlet started it, the rest of the outlet will follow and eventually the whole market have become the price war zone. Example is Sunway Giza and Mid Valley, can really see the outlet is outdo each other or on par with each other promotions.
RM1 beer is another gimmick which make offer hard to resist. The first glass normally at certain price after that the rest of the beer is at RM1. Very worth while for those that can drink like fish and don’t get drunk. Only worth if you can drink 4 pints and above.
Certain places also offer up beer buffet from certain hour to certain hour with a good price deal. Normally the time limit is around 2 hours of free flow beer. Only worth while if you can drink 4 pints and above.
The best deal is buy 1 free 2 which normally happen before 7pm. Is best that you can have your dinner there as well so that they can earn extra from your food. But the buy 1 free 1 deal is actually not that worth while, as is only cheaper by few riggits. When all this places that doing this kind of promos, when the deal is off, the beer price is actually very expensive. Some can go as high as RM38++ per pint for imported beer.
Then you have the RM50 for 3 pints which is quite a good deal. Some consumer complain that the beer serve in certain outlet are water down or diluted. Not sure how they can do that, but if you are that pub owner you better make sure all the tap of beer that come out is good in quality! So that your pub name won’t be tainted.
With so much bargain to choose and to go for, consumer are spoiled with choices. I know that most consumer are very happy when they can get cheap beer. If you find the right bargain, it can actually save you a lot of money by then.
Not that I object this kind of special deal, I prefer a fix price places. So no matter what time I go, I still get a good price. My theory is, rather they do all this deal to make consumer drink more, why the pub owner don’t want to sell at cheaper price. Rather then force you drink more then the allow amount for driving?
I still prefer fix cheap price rather then bargains and promos. I don’t need to hunt for it. But I do know that many bargain hunters are enjoying the hunt for the best price. With all this groupon, mydeal, dealmate, milkadeal…. even more bargain out there for consumer to enjoy the best meal deal in town. Who knows, maybe some outlet will offer free flow beer at those website soon.
Before I end, bargain hunters out there, please inform if got any good promos out there. Cheers!
