Craft Beer MAW(Easy Version)

[ardyexfor]

FWIW
I think we need to rethink what people can and can not put on their lists somehow. I know this is the easy version but does every beer on the list really need to be an 80 or lower on BA too? People are constantly removing items from their lists which just makes the list harder as LESS are listed. I granted the last list just 3 minutes after it was posted (before fins was even able to agree about removing things from the list it was granted) I think as long as there are easy things on the list also you might as well have some actual wishes on the list too am I wrong? I know we don't want to go listing 2008 releases and beers you wait in line for but when their are a bunch of other easy things on the list it is just as easy to ignore them if they are hard for you.

I'll remove the Moo-Hoo was just trying to make the list longer and easier by giving more options.

But if every other post in the trade forums is an iso for your beer, its probably not because its "easy" to find.

Not necessarily. Pliny and zombie dust are in like half of isos i feel like and they are easy to find if you're in the distro area.

Yeah i get that I haven't looked at the trade forums in a long time though and was getting up a list quickly. Why can't the harder items just be ignored and the 10 other easy things on the list could be looked at? I bet 1/2 of the people on HBT could fullfill my list as easy and wide open as I've tried to make it regardless of the Moo-Hoo.

Agreed I live In the "limited" distribution area for zombie dust and while I can't walk in to the store and get it every day I can get it a couple time a year and defiantly don't have to wait in line

 

[Hello]

I think, in the spirit of the thread, having one or even two semi-rare beers on a list full of shelf beers isn't the worst. If you're in it to get just those, that could be a problem. That said, we don't know who is sitting on a case of BCS or white chocolate moo-hoo. I know I couldn't find BCBS here to save my life as it sold out in a matter of minutes, but others were showcasing multiple 4-packs. I have one bottle of WCMH but having one bottle means I'd like to keep it. Color me selfish.

So if your list is 10 beers long and it has BCS or WCMH, then perhaps just let people keep it. If there is a list weighted towards these brewery only and rare releases, then things need to be re-thought. Thus far, I could grant two lists but I'm traded out for the year and I needed to make good on my final pending trades. I like this thread because it is still a lot easier.

That's just my two pennies.

For now, if you have a solid list of 10 easy to find shelf beers, you can post 1 or 2 like the white chocolate moo hoo. The only problem I see with this is then where do we draw the line for the special release ones. I know that people cant be putting up Cantillon or Westy 12, but how do we decide if it close to that level of rare? I guess as long as you have a big enough list of easy access beers and you dont hold up the thread, I wont say anything. If keywest disagrees with this later, that is the final decision.

Just remember that people here on HBT are generous. I received an Abyss from poptarts which I did not ask for and would be consider a rarer special release beer. More than likely, you will get something you did not expect and thats half the fun. Just make sure we keep it reasonable guys, nothing too expensive either. Thanks for understanding, you guys/gals have been great so far

 

[Canti4341]

I'll just go with breweries to make it easy - any from the following:

New Glarus
Cascade
Russian River (still have not had Pliny....)
Three Floyds
Pipeworks
The Bruery
Cigar City
Westbrook
Alesmith

That should be easy enough I think. I prefer sours and stouts - the bigger the better - where possible but if it's new to me I'll be happy.

Cheers!

I think hello put it pretty solid. If the list is obviously weighted toward limited beers, they may be asked to adjust it.

There is no way to say what is limited and what is not for 100% of beers. My area sells out of everything that I consider limited within the first day usually, not even making it to shelves. But ive been on vacation and seen some of that same stuff sitting on shelves months later. Its crazy.

You run into this when there is no hard and fast rule because of subjectivity, everyone kind of has to just use their best judgement.

 

[DrPhunk]

One man's limited release may be another man's shelf turd...

Aye, still finding BCBS on shelves, no coffee or barley wine, though

There is something that is not on the shelves in Philadelphia ? Are you sure I thought you guys get everything there?!

 

[ivegot2legs]

I still see some of it around too. Same with others like Bruery or other limited releases. I'll find them sitting on a shelf of a smaller store a month later, but in another area of the country that could be unheard of.

Exactly why we are allowing it for now as long as there is a good selection of easy brews to get.

I'll just go with breweries to make it easy - any from the following:

New Glarus
Cascade
Russian River (still have not had Pliny....)
Three Floyds
Pipeworks
The Bruery
Cigar City
Westbrook
Alesmith

I could get in some real trouble in this thread. I'd say I've been able to grant at least half of them so far(like Canti's here), just have been too slow(sometimes writing my grant post when I refresh and see someone else just did so). It will take some determination to make myself wait longer than the required week in between.

I'll be in Philly next week for Christmas. I don't know if I can get out as my sister has 3 boys, but we are going to try and go to Tired Hands on Thursday night if you want to meet up for a beer.
