Churchill's Anniversary Renaissance thing 2014

[VaTechHopHead]

It's gonna be omega tier noobs all free associating outside about what pliney the younger probably tastes like and telling anecdotes about how one of their friends was EXTRAED a kbs one time.

Or cards against humanity and dumpy discontent girlfriends will abound.

I was laughing all the way through the post until the CAH part....I will be bringing that game to play in line.

But will eavesdrop on the Younger speculation and sweet KBS extras stories. Hoping for a solid "OMG I got a bottle of Kern Citra, no way Younger is better but I'm willing to give it a shot anyway" story.

There were these dudes near me in line at the pappy Remy release boasting about ticksploits how some guy in their homebrew club "somehow landed one of those upland sours" an the off shelf contingency had tender nips listening to the story. Later they saw an empty bottle of propreeeshetors and were all taking pics of it shaking their heads in complete disbelief like "wow someone must have had an AMAZING morning!"

I be like "why the **** am I not sleeping or playing battlefield 4 again?"

Love that line eavesdropping tho, such misplaced feelings of superiority because my hobby is clearly a vice

This is a great idea, will gather all my empty bottles and place them on the ground/tables and let the fun ensue!

I'm afraid with the current weather forecasts most of the banter in line will be how miserable people are waiting in the rain to buy a beer

I'd do it for 12 bottles. Think of all the KBS I could pull.

2 bottles is nowhere near worth that mess.

I have a busy weekend... and fuxk lines... especially in the rain. I may swing in Saturday around 6. Intihar a bottle of CHF and taxi home. Let me know if anyone is going Sat night. I'll be the guy with 22oz of CFH in a boot...




JK... anyone want to split a bottle Sat night?

If I go, I'm up for it. I'm in for Sunday brunch for sure.

rcubed , I will let you know if and when I head over. My wife is gone most of the day. So, it will depend on when she gets home. Cheers

They open at 11am, but would prefer ~1pm or so, if I'm being selfish.

Update on online sales:

"Churchill's Finest Hour Online sales... I really didn't want to do this, so it's going to cost you! I feel the people who wait in line deserve it, but for those of you that can't make it that day, I'm giving you a shot. I am selling 100 bottles at $50 and after that 100 bottles at $100. It's a two bottle limit per person. All proceeds over my normal bottle price are going to the San Diego Humane Society. Also, I'm releasing the bottles at 8am on March 1st on Brown Paper Tickets. The link will be cfh.brownpapertickets.com . I'm trying to prevent double dipping by releasing them while people are waiting in line and I'm passing out wristbands. I'm sorry if you think this is unfair, but I'm happy to help shelter animals in the process. You can always take your shot at waiting in line. People can have trustees pick up the bottles eventually, etc.(online sales only)."

Also Ivan's update on the double wristband system....clearly less confusing (sarcasm)

For you diehards who are still going to camp out the night before, and the rest of you that want to show up at 5am or earlier(I'm guessing earlier) to get a shot at some Churchill's Finest Hour bottles or some of the rarest tap offerings, let me explain the wristband system again. Only one person actually responded to me in regards to the system being confusing, but I'll explain in more detail anyway. I have two sets of wristbands. We will have a security guard out overnight. You will get a sequentially numbered wrist band when you get in line. If you are going to leave, don't bother getting a wristband. This does not save or guarantee your place in line!! It just helps out people who get cut in front of. IT IS UP TO YOU, THE PEOPLE, TO HELP POLICE LINE CUTTING. At approximately 8 am, I will pass out a second wristband to the first 150(down from 200 because of online sales..see below) people with the right sequential wrist band. If you show up at 3 am and get wristband number 60, your buddies show up and cut at 7am, they'll have numbers in the 100s. They shouldn't be up in the line anyway, but they will not get bottles even though they are up front in line. In that same vein, if you have wristband number 1 and decide to go home, you go to the back of the line when you come back and you will not get the right to buy bottles. Bottles are $30 a piece .. cash only please.

This situation is shaping up to be be light years beyond classic. Ivan wants beer nerds, who specialize in passively and silently observing line cutting only to wax indignant about it online several hours after the fact, to self-police the lines. Someone please videotape the hilarity that ensues.

"Hey, no line cutting!"

"Oh yeah, stop me."

*crickets*

*crickets*

*picks up phone and types out angry words on an internet beer forum*

Or maybe by "HELP POLICE" he means that someone has to flag down the security guard. The tattle telling and Rob Blart mall copping that this would involve would be even more hilarious.

OR, there could be some tough guy brodown throw downs. Beer nerd vigilantes.

All of these scenarios are ridiculous to imagine, which indeed emphasizes why these events that encourage all-nighter fusterclucks are mercifully becoming endangered species, with CFH roaming around on a wildlife preserve like the last black rhino.

I also love how Ivan specifies that "the people who wait in line deserve it". People who skip sleep and slum it outside like homeless refugees at a breadline deserve the beer more than people who value their precious weekend and sleepy time hours more than the $5 per hour they would be saving by standing in line all night instead of sleeping in and clicking a button? The term "deserve" is very tough to grasp in this context, but it is an interesting, if absurd, proposition in any case.

None of this is a judgment on Churchill's fine establishment which I thank for great food, superlative beer, and the great entertainment and hijinks offered by the Renaissance.

1 pm is fine with me

 

[tosh1]

So if someone does line cut and then get a different numbered second wrist band then everyone after that person would not have matching wrist bands and so no-one would get bottles? It is tempting to just go and get in line in at some random point and see what chaos ensues.
