Agreed re Publican Tavern. What airline are you on, though? If you’re flying United and flying out of a C gate, getting to Publican may be a stretch.

Flying United, but have a 3.5 hour layover.

14 minute brisk walk between Terminals 2 & 3, Tavern is between Gates K & L. Quickest pickup for food is the burger, the ribollita soup & the gem salad. Slowest is the salmon, the BBQ veg, & the farm chicken.

That may or may not be the most useful information ever pulled from this godforsaken FIB war room.

The pro move IMHO is to get chicharrones and any sandwich. Eat the chicharrones and pocket the side chips for later in your trip since they come bagged.

Anyone have luck with the half acre Benthic Box or More Mehndi lottery. Batted a solid 0 for 2 today

The trick to not getting wet is to move between the raindrops

Yep, it's straight firewater that mellows out to a mildly sweet burnt sugar. Given to me by the former master distiller at a local distillery, it was released officially, but my bottle was never cut down to proof...

The beer gods were smiling on me today, hit both of them. The benthic thing was a joke. After 20-30 min of trying I got a call at work, when i hing up i checked the page and i had it in my basket and it gave me a warning about being inactive. Happy that I got back to it in time! Bring on 2 days of Fobab!

That's that detailed insider tip you can only find in the FIB War Room.

For anyone coming to the Deth's Tar release, I thought this group would appreciate the nugget that none of the draft-only beers are at any major risk of running out on the given day. So no need to prioritize your choices based on scarcity, just order what sounds good to you.

pdurrrr GPIFMB a 4-pack of VSOJ and I've traded shelf lambic for 6 more. Sent a couple out in the Math BIF, saving 1 for Secret Festivus, drank 2 already and tempted to drink another every day of course, bringing 1 to share with Gonzoillini Saturday.

On the other site, I just saw a shipping offer for Florence Puncheon, Peleg, and Flora CRK - for a single 4-pack...seems absolutely insane, I only wish I had so much more so I could in good conscience make that trade...I'd rather give it away 1 at a time to folks here though (and also drink it every day).

Edit: right below that is Hommage+ for 3 cans.

Just because I’m not trading my cans doesn’t mean I can’t pass this along to my ticker buddies. Good info. I told the 3 guys I drove to VSOJ to combine forces for that HF deal then I’ll come drink them.

Ok that’s cool and all but 0 degrees Plato on the Brut IPA? Is it just dextrose and water? And lemme get at that cuz it sounds delicious.

Brut-Hero six-packs and the new League of Heroes lineup with El Dorado and Cashmere dropping within days of each other has given me all the feels.

Brut is mostly Hallertau Blanc to add the white grape, rounded out with some centennial and crystal.

The tortilla package enzyme brings them (most brut ipa’s) down to terminal. Fun reads on interwebs how amalyse works with dextrins

Is this a pun or the best autocorrect in the history of autocorrection?

Inquiring minds need to know.

Poor rmalinowski4 being the butt of the joke here

I have a newer phone, so the autocorrect is bad. But, it was part misspelling and part autocorrect and I decided to leave it.

The same one when there’s 200 people in line at Half Acre before 9 AM. Bizarro World.

I heard some beer nerd took it upon himself to hand out numbered tickets and prevent cutting. Completely independent of Half-Acre staff.
