Apparently the line may have started at LP Binny's? **** us all.

Beer sucks, drink more wine

 

[Tooch4321]

I stand by this comment, especially after last night at Band of Bohemia...

 

[Hopping Tiger]

I'm a pathetic optimist, but yeah, **** beer.

 

[vav1]

Please let this be true.

I got at text at 6:21pm from. It's true.

 

[Mugatu]

Wow ruined it

 

[BobCobb1]

Very impressive. I was going to take guesses on here when first people line up. Thought the modest, uniform allotment and talk of extra vintage bottles would more or less cancel each other, and you'd just see another standard annual shift of 3-4 hours earlier. So I was going to put it at like 2PM tomorrow.

I hope others show up early if only to force those 2 to stay the entire time to keep the spot.

Just want to chime in and say Duseks was awesome last night. Pricing was $5 for 2oz $10 for 5oz and $15 for 10oz. Was never crowded very calm and spectacular food.

Gettin some errands done and had to stop and see this

You can't prove they are actually inside. oh for ***** sake. I hate beer.

 

[JulianB1]

The whole idea that you can "save" a spot in line by parking a chair or tent is complete ******* horseshit. It's one thing if you step away for a few to use the restroom or if you've got a few people together and one person makes a food/coffee run for 15-30 minutes, but if there's no one in that tent someone should go over there and kill that entire setup with fire.

 

[gtx281]

Please let that be the wrong door.

 

[trickytunadicky]

Please let that be the wrong door.

Sadly having gone to that **** show last year, they spray painted the sidewalk making sure the line went where it was supposed to.

 

[Ckozl]

And so it grows...

Binny's is encouraging it, too. Telling people they can get Vanilla Rye, previous Proprietors or Backyard Rye based on place in line is fueling this (along with Rare).

 

[Tooch4321]

THIS is how you Thanksgiving. Good day, gentlemen...

 

[JulianB1]

I'd rather spend another night out in the open on Mt Baker sleeping on top of my pack than wait over a day in the ******* rain for some bottles of flavored stouts.

The ultra-hyping that Goose / Binny's / bars / etc. are doing is somewhat confusing to me. I suppose if you drive people into a frenzy and increase the demand that much, it justifies the next price increase.

Sheffield's was doing hourly countdown Facebook posts last night leading up to the event. A bar that is well patronized even in the absence of tapping like this. Kind of just made me wonder "how ****** of a time do you want everyone to have?"

 

[gtx281]

Reminds me of Dawn of the Dead..

You have my permission - If I ever turn into one of those things, blow my ******* head off.

You can count on me.

I had a ****** enough of a time at Sheffield's years ago that I haven't been back since about 2010. I am only willing to go line up so early tomorrow. I am perfectly okay with saying **** it and going home, too.

 

[BobCobb1]

Tough for me to get roiled over these campers. The first thing is all the over-the-top appeals to quality family time -- most I know can't wait to get the hell out of whatever get together is taking place, or get through it by avoiding 90% of the people and quietly doming 12% beers. Maybe they don't have family that gets together, who knows.

The other thing is this is all a matter of degree. The majority of folks will probably line up between like 10 and 3 tonight, and will argue until their last breath that that is reasonable. This guy, though, what a sad sack of ****.

For me, suffering through 36 hours instead of 3 is not worth the marginal benefits, namely the attention and a vintage bottle, but if that's your thing and you go about your business, rock on.

Feel like even a few years ago, awesome things would go on there without notice. Happened to be there for work gathering one night and beer school had BA9K and Black Note flowing with zero fanfare.

Though I will say I think that still happens to an extent since they do get great taps regularly (think Madagascar was on a month ago and heard nothing). But have noticed increased push to market the hell out of others, and those prices last night might have been the last straw for me. Had a feeling just having seen several other instances of decent BA beers pushing $1/oz recently.

Well that is just it. I have that **** at home. I even bought my own chocolate bars so I can pair up if I want to do so. I can have my own nice cozy day with adjunct stouts and chocolate pairings without leaving the house.

Liked for OG Gameboy and article on bacon and brussel sprouts. Moon Man is good too.

 

[americanzero4128]

Someone should get drunk and piss on their tents if they aren't in them. Or even if they are.

When in Wisconsin, I am now on to Brandy Old Fashioneds....

 

[furley]

people are mad about other people getting in line for a beer that they don't even want?

do i have that straight?

Not mad. Not even a line I was planning on getting into. I think flabbergasted is the correct word. A whole extra day? In the rain? really? Nothing better to do? I would rather get a root canal.

Flummoxed? Vexed? Gobsmacked (tosh)?

That should cover it.
