CCBE daily laugher (smsp = S'more Money). $140 on S'more Money?

No idea who that guy is, but he regularly posts some of the dumbest **** on CCBE.

It's just a matter of time until you have to ban me...




Or make me a Mod for the great purging.

Treebs and Dunt have better chances than you do.

That's so not fair Max.

 

[Alum]

No offense to you, Max, or Chris, but I have no desire whatsoever to try to educate these people.

+1.

It's not hard to learn about beer if you're interested. There are tons of great resources and forums etc. out there. People shitposting on Facebook just don't care to seek it out. Facebook is mostly casuals. The real discussions and trades etc. go down on beer-specific forums. There's a reason I feel safer trading on TalkBeer or even BeerAdvocate than I do on Facebook. You'd think that using your real identity would lead to less scamming and shitposting but that really doesn't seem to be true.

That is how they introduce themselves to Chicago? They might as well hire Jim Belushi next.

it appears as though quinnsi is trying to educate some of the CCBE's, I hope a bunch of em take those classes and stop posting pictures of an IPA and asking peoples opinions of it.

"Bro this IPA was bottled 2 months ago,,,,,do you think it has faded?"

 

[ClCardinal84]

That's my problem as well. I tried in the beginning, but this New Breed/New Money doesn't want to hear any of it. They think they are the end all be all of Chicago Craft Beer since they took a beer school lesson at GI Clybourn once and took a tour of Finch's so they know how a brewery works.

CCBE reinforced my knowledge of the crowd we are dealing with in the "Best 5 beers of the year" thread where someone stated Dark Horse Scotty Karate was in their top 5 and 90% of the others included Pipeworks, Dino Smores, Stone beers, etc. (no offense to Pipeworks, you make some great single hop IPA's)

Civil Disobedience imperial IPA

Ugh oh, I smell a cease & desist coming

The only people who are are going to take any of his classes are people who really don't need them.

I was hoping someone else noticed that. That one did not disappoint.

 

[maximthegreat]

There are a lot of casual beer drinkers on CCBE, no need to knock people because they're not at the same knowledge level as us. If Scotty Karate makes someone's top 5, so be it. Different Strokes for different folks. My favorite beer at one point was Boulder Brewing Hazed and Infused

The fact that the crowd likes beers your or I consider sub-par isn't the problem. I don't think I need to write a 1000 word essay on what the problem really is either, since we probably all know.

being up at the front of the line saturday for fobab seeing the new money roll outa foba kinda made me angry honestly.....

 

[lb304854]

New Breed/New Money .

New Breed will never catch on.

Fall in line with New Money before we pound it into beer culture so hard that you are dying to hear jokes about FFF burning down.

 

[tinypyramids1]

if i have to stand in line and fight people for straight jacket i'm going to be super pissed

 

[maximthegreat]

I was already mad about what happened with blue gene. Why is it not sitting on the shelf for me?

Could not stand Blue Gene. Do not understand why it disappeared either!

 

[RedCoffee]

Bean Gene and Mean Gene turding up the shelves. Holding out hope that Straight Jacket will follow suit.

And at this point, I think CCBE should be left as the eternal tire yard fire that it is. If you want a Chicago-based FB group of intelligent craft beer fans, just create a new group.

Create a new group and make new members answer the three questions from the bridge in Monty Python's Holy Grail so you know they don't suck.

This is the second recommendation received today to have an intelligence test before allowing folks to join CCBE 2.0.

Also my favorite color is blue.

No, green!
