Beer was served above 42 C. It's just not possible to have warm, fizzy beer. Carbon dioxide (CO2), the gas that makes beer fizzy, is more soluble in colder liquids. As the beer warms up, it loses its ability to hold its CO2 in solution. The CO2 is released into the atmosphere through the bubbles in the beer, and the beer goes flat.
Damn frenchies serve warm beer....

The guy is from the southern hemisphere on the other side of the world, where it's cold. He buys a beer, then quickly flies on a concorde up to the north hemisphere in a direction such that when he arrives, it's nearly exactly the same time as when he bought it hours ago. THen, it's flat

The guy in the stripped suit is a prisoner, the guy with the glasses is blind. When the blind man ordered his beer the prisoner switched his beer for a flat one.

Wild guess:

The clock on the wall is broken and a long time has passed though the clock only shows that a short time has passed.

the guy in the suit is a repair man and the refrigerator is broken. therefore the beer is warm and flat

I think you guys are goign on the rong (Yes, R O N G wrong) track. "N00B" already said that this was the closest response:
He ordered the beer and it was placed on the bar. The standing man is looking down, so the bar appears to be a perfectly flat surface (whereas the sitting man observes an angle from his perspective). Therefore, the standing man's beer is going to also appear flat when he's looking straight down at it. This causes it to taste like a "flat" beer =p

the answer is so obvious

nothing matters except for the fact that the drink is flat

Since it is a SUNDAY MORNING

the answer is obvious,

since it is a SUNDAY MORNING, they cannot sell alcoholic beverages, so the drink tastes flat because there is no alcohol in it

the drink is flat because it is SUNDAY MORNING and it is illegal to sell alcoholic beverages until at least 12 PM

and the person standing up sees it as flat because he is above the drink and viewing a blob from above makes it look flat

The two men are at an amusement park of some kind.

The "glasses" are actually those "3D goggles" that make things appear "real".

The "beer" that he is seeing is actually a glass of water that is provided to help reinforce the illusion.

okay two guys walk into a bar on a sunny sunday in august, one sits down, the other stands....the guy sitting is wearing a striped suit...the other has on sunglasses...


the one who stands has a beer that he ordered a moment ago but it tastes flat...why?

Ok, I guess I'm wondering what the "Why" refers to, is it why did he order a beer a moment ago? Because it's hot outside? And he's thirsty.

Or is it why does it taste flat? Because the the viewer is seeing the guy chug it down easily?

edit: I bolded stuff and added "and he's thirsty"

The guy is striped suit is a clown. The guy with the glasses is a kid. So the bartender refuses to serve him beer and gave him water instead.
