why sweetwater needs a new receptionist (or whatever you call them)

here's the conversation i just had with some girl who answered the phone:

sweetwater girl: good afternoon, thank you for calling sweetwater.
[awkward pause since i thought she was going to continue with, "how may i help you?"]
me: hi, i was wondering when your pumpkin ale would be going on tap
sg: excuse me?
me: your pumpkin ale?
sg: oh, we don't have that yet
me: i know, i was wondering when you would be tapping it
sg: oh, i don't know exactly. i think it's next month - but first we have to run out of the beer we have right now.
me: ok thanks.

that was probably the most uninformative phone conversation i've ever had. ugh.

i might just try and call back again tomorrow hoping i get someone different. or if anyone else hears when they're tapping their pumpkin ale let me know.

update: i did some more digging and apparently they didn't tap their pumpkin ale until mid-october last year. oops - i guess i jumped the gun a little.
