FIB War Room

[trickytunadicky]

Flummoxed? Vexed? Gobsmacked (tosh)?

That should cover it.

dicktouched, even.

 

[hannydawg]

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.

That sounds so much better than dealing with beer fucktards.

I plan to only deal with beer fucktards I like.

 

[adhdjon]

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

do i have that straight?

I think people are confused as to why people are rushing to get in line. It's like a race to suffer in cold rainy weather on a day meant to be enjoyed. It doesn't help that Binny's and Goose Island are encouraging this craziness.... Dat hype game.

 

[furley]

but the bitching about the price, the bottle, the box, the distribution, all of it

it's not just about people lining up early. it could be 70 with a light breeze all night long and there would still be complaining.

people have done that for dozens of other releases. Great Taste tickets, Darkness Day, etc. there's something else going on besides just amazement about people lining up for beer

 

[adhdjon]

I just remember Goose Island (After being bought out) saying the goal was to make more BCBS and make it year round and Yada Yada Yada. Apparently "more" means more people standing in line, more people out of Illinois getting these beers before local residents who supported the brand, etc.

Like if you're not a little salty as a FIB, good for you. You're a better person than me. Seriously though, nothing beats browsing the various hauls threads and seeing people from out of state with cases of BCBS while you dream of roasting smores in your tent in font of Binny's on Thanksgiving.

Oh I was more salty about the veritable cornucopia of BCBS floating around SC 2 weeks ago. That is double why I don't get the camping out 2 days early. It literally makes no sense.

This was my main gripe. When you triple, or whatever they did, the supply, the price shouldn't also triple...

Lemme learn you a little about inelastic demand curves

 

[dgoogle]

Who is actually lining up tomorrow? The reward is one ******* variant. Beer is stupid. I'm sleeping in.

 

[tag1]

just swung by the LP Binnys on my way home and there are at least 100 tents pitched in the pouring rain, wrapping around the store (opposite direction from last year) all the way down to those power transformer things by Wisconsin St...

 

[gtx281]

Ya'll motherfuckers need Pilsner.

 

[SecretSquirrel]

36hrs in line.. yeah not for me... I could drive to HF back and get growlers for everyone standing in line... and I'd be happier... LOL...

[Tooch4321]

Full allocation of sleep in my bed right now...

I'm even producing a 10 part mini-series about it. It's gonna be titled "From Head to Pillow", I can't wait until you see the episode about brushing my teeth!

 

[furley]

to wit, some dude posted that he's waiting on line in Houston (it's not cold there) and got **** for it

also, julian is in Vermont lined up for Lawson's (i think?) and nobody seems to give a ****

:shrug:

Let it go. Line up for whatever you want.

 

[ChicagoGuy]

My dad and I went to Costco just now because some Pyrex **** my mom wanted was on sale. We walked out with the Pyrex and 8 bottles of regular.

 

[Treebs]

My Dad snagged a Regal for $17.99 at the Oak Brook CostCo

weird

 

[dgoogle]

Costco is the place. Went hoping to snag a bottle or two, and got 8.

 

[ChicagoGuy]

The North Center Jewel had a huge pile. 6pp limit. Christmas shopping is done.

No BCBS at our (now just my) Costco I was going to call you if they did have any. I guess there was a line when they opened, sold out in less than an hour.

 

[IronDave]

Got to LP Binny's at 715am. Number 736. Full allotment plus 1 bottle each of 2012 BCBS and 2014 BCBCS.
