I guess it's a differing opinion but like I tasted it in large groups from cans and literally a friend just ordered it on tap at paddy longs 2 hours ago and everyone agreed there's something quite off with it. But I'm down to nerf duel too

I like it...dunno what else to say except agree to disagree?

Then again, I do have two of those old SuperSoaker 3000's that needed a backpack of water to operate...

The guy in that video really has a thing for SuperSoakers. It's... disconcerting.

I raised an eyebrow when he said "new to market" and upload date was this year...I had that thing when I was like 10

...maybe it is that bad in the Middle East.

I've seen this IG acct and been more curious about the location for a lot of those shots.
Please don't tell me that a majority of these bottles are entering a storage locker for "cellaring". FFS. Please. No.

Ah, yes. The infamous storage locker cellar.

****. Forgot those.

I'd say Abduction variants are a step up from that other stuff because even though they usually aren't great, they at least have some following/reputation in the broader online beer world. I wouldn't even know about things like Dino S'mores, Hunter, and Big Hugs, and more specifically the #newmoney clamor for it, if I wasn't in CCBE and/or reading you guys mock it in this thread.

The Here Gose Nothin' is available year-round. The other styles are released seasonally. Flanders Red is available fall/winter, Counter Clockweisse will be released in March and Lynnbrook will be released in June.

That's certainly what it looks like.

Paddy Longs? Did that used to Lawrys in early 2000s? If so, them feels. Many times I snuck in there to drink after I got off at Diversey but before I wanted to go home.

 

[Alum]

Ah, yes. The infamous storage locker cellar.

I actually am going to be forced to get one of those soon..

 

[Alum]

To be honest, the 2 places I've found have great temperature control and level, humidity control, and some pretty reasonable rates.

It's not ideal, for certain. But I have too much beer to keep at my house and I can't keep sending it down to the South Suburbs. The travel doesn't work for me anymore and it's a better solution than I currently have.

All that said, I am not, have not, and will never be on that bro's level. Nothing like posing beers on a floor in a storage facility's hallway for cred.

Dat Lynnbrook is ridiculous.

Sooooo apparently he works for Hailstorm?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Best I've found is Strongbox (North Center). I pay ~$360 per year for, I think, a 24 case locker. Spacious enough to split two or three ways.

My favorite picture from that Instagram account is being first in line (right off the plane) @ Churchills.

I had Abraxas on draft at the Trenchermen this morning, I think it was $11 a pour. I only drank half the snifter, but ya know #newmoney...

I remember stumbling across this instagram before. Check out the posts on the DLD glassware haul, he brings up 'entitlement' and 'work ethic' and lolz will be had.

Hoarding pics like that just say, "I haven't seen a vagina since birth."

Do you think anyone ever goes there to put like an old antique or something into their storage unit only to turn the corner and see this knucklehead taking pictures of beer and furiously jerking it? I bet it's weird.

 

[sidetracked]

Why would any one individual (or tasting group for that matter--I'm assuming that is 10 people's hauls based on the ticket photo) buy that much Dark Lord? I can't fathom finding enough opportunities to drink all those bottles.

 

[middlebrow]

Better question, who the **** is hoarding and aging ******* coffee?

Hahaha. I was thinking the same exact thing. Guy makes other people carefully walk around this castle o' bottles.
