To One-Beer or Two-Beer on Newcomb's Paradox

This is a bit of an inside joke for Less Wrongers, so my apologies if it doesn't make you smile. (More on Newcomb's problem here.)



Newcomb's Ranch is a (very isolated) bar on Angeles Crest Highway (CA Route 2) in Angeles National Forest, maybe an hour and a half from downtown LA. One might ask if I one-beered or two-beered at Newcomb's. My good madame or sir, why are one or two the only options? Anyway by the end of the night I thought I was pretty smart but then Omega in his function as omniscient bartender cut me off.
