I don't frequent trade boards or the seedy beer for sale underbelly but do people by any chance mention glassware being never used or washed? for example, is a CBS snifter worth less money because it was used or somethin?

I have no idea if it changes the value, but given the refilling and recapping we're starting to see, I'm quite sure they'd lie about whether glassware has been used or not if it would benefit them financially.

You can tell when a glass has been abused with improper washing.

but the way folks are selling bags that held rare, are they selling glasses with the feature of "never being used"? i was really just joking but now I'm intrigued.

Is a glass worth more if Greg Hall has urinated in it?

GI Green Line in bottles and cans. How the **** does that even make sense?

Dat 180 day low ABV Pale Ale 'BREWERY FRESH' freshness tho.

 

[Shakedwnst]

This is how I celebrate Big Hugs day

With old daisy cutter? We have fresher Daisy Cutter in Philly

Digging a bit more, looks like it's the same IBU and ABV as 312 Pale Ale... so maybe just a rename?

But why **** all over the whole sustainable thing Green Line was supposed to be just to rebrand a mediocre pale in a market full of good to great pale ales?

My last one was a day old. I didn't care to pre-order this time.

Also, **** yourself.

What? One of the middle managers submitted that as something we should consider in the board meeting where we greenlighted this. We thought he was just making that whole thing up. Are you sure? I think the spirit of Green Line was more along the lines of St. Patrick's Day beers, wasn't it?

There was a whole website dedicated to Green Line that now gives a 403 error. It was supposed to be draft only (to reduce packaging/waste)... and there was something about sustainability with the water. The GI-sponsored website may be down, but a few other pages talk about it:
http://www.realbeer.com/blog/?p=1263
http://blog.chicagolandh2o.org/2011/03/09/goose-islands-green-line-project-makes-blue-brew/

I think they also donated a portion of the proceeds from the sale to various environmental causes... most recently the 606. So, it's weird to just see that quietly dropped.

It looks like Goose has taken down the website where they talk about the Green Line Project. http://www.gooseisland.com/beer/green-line-pale-ale.html

Hey buddy screw you. Vanilla beers are the best evah. Ever see that **** on the supermarket shelves? ******* expensive, high quality ****!

If you guys don't want to enjoy vanilla beers like the rest of us maybe try keeping it to yourselves. More for me!

Gene delete for unfunniness

 

[LSMroz]

Don't do that! I have a bunch of trades I need to set up first!

FT: Rare, ISO: 1 lb of pure Madagascar vanilla beans

(I was looking for the vanilla trading subforum but you guys don't have one for some reason so Imma just post it here okay?)

5 posts and already:

 

[kawilliams81]

Because it wasn't there the weekend before and didn't taste like cardboard.

It's going to be OK.

I actually tweeted Brickstone about can dating. They replied something like "we are working with our canning distributor so stay tuned" or something like that? Wouldn't they just need an additional piece of equipment on their canning line to date the cans?

Did they seriously charge $40 for vanilla big hugs?

Someone please answer this, I need that sweet schadenvanillafreude.

 

[adhdjon]

whew, well I guess my faith is restored in humanity

 

[SaulTBauls]

But in all seriousness, Hugs and Vanilla Hugs are things I'm interested in. I've seen very few completed trades. What's it going to take for these kitties?

Do you have any Hunter varients? I imagine Hailstorm beers would also get it done.

Well, Royce: it's like this. You're from Iowa. Vanilla Bean Assassin should get it done. You may have to throw in a KBBS.

They both sit on the shelves in 4 packs at Aldi, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Crazy thing is that on TalkIceCream.com vanilla is like some basic bitch pale ale. "Do you even double rocky road bro?"

 

[sidetracked]

If Hailstorm released a vanilla beer I'm afraid we'd end up in some weird infinite loop...

You would stand in line for rocky road beer.
