Great collection of adventure hooks, and the themed brews make everything more flavourful. You can just bring them out and play within minutes (character creation notwithstanding, but there's plenty of games, especially OSR-wise, where you can make one in no time) and just let the tables do their magic.

Is "You find yourself at a tavern..." an overdone trope? Maybe, but when you're actually playing at the pub, it really helps getting into character and the mood faster.
