Are you telling me you are never asked for the money first? With the exception of your locals?

Its very common, many mention it here.

The rest I mentioned was tongue in cheek.

In fairness craft ales should be free. Witches IPA my ass.

I think its because most People in Cardiff with Irish accents are from the gypo camps. Probably why they asked you for the cash up front.
