I'm glad you're having fun, and I encourage you to keep it up, but if you're gonna keep being pedantic about grammar, I would encourage you to take pause and reconsider the boundaries of the English language, because clearly you're having a bit of subject/object confusion. The subject, though not explicitly stated, is obviously always the person doing the drinking and the object is the beer. Essentially since it is obviously a human being writing the opinion and doing the drinking, they are the implied subject of the sentence. When people say how it's drinking, they are obviously expressing their opinion, not the beer's, though I do also love a bit of personification, something that also exists and is a wonderful rhetorical device in the English language... 'This beer is drinking' is perfectly acceptable grammatically, and a far less cumbersome way of broaching your opinion on a beer than saying, 'I feel that when drinking this beer I detect...' and don't you dare attack my erroneous use of ellipses, it's the bleeding Internet mang! ;):p

We (I assume only CW members who picked up got the email) were asked to show proof today, (by taking a pic with your bottle) the email said if you can't show proof then you may lose your CW membership. I'd imagine even if you drank it you'd find a way to prove that somehow
I really hope this ****** is the only one who can't provide a pic. I wonder how many people even could've picked up. I can't wait to pick up next month for my first pickup. This membership is so great, I can't believe some ********* was this stupid. At this point, you have to be an idiot to think you'd get away with it. So try to ruin it for everyone, great idea...
 
Opened a WOL Anch & Peach/Pear Flora this week...
WOL was as lemony as you could get. Really enjoyed how lemon forward it was.
And I'm pretty sure PP Flora is one of the best beers I've ever had.
I couldn't agree more. I traded for a Flora P/P and finally cracked it this past weekend. Phenomenal beer!

FWIW B1 Port Damon was DRINKING* beautifully over the Xmas holidays.



*Yes, as in it was so awesome it opened other beer from my cellar and started consuming them while I watched on helplessly, if not slightly in awe.
I have one that I've been holding for no apparent reason. I really should crack it open and if it helps drink the beers in my cellar even better.

FYI this coming Sunday is #drinkitnow, an event started by Allagash to encourage people to drink those beers they've been holding on to for too long ;)

No ****, look it up!
 
First hearing about this, love the idea!
Yeah did it last year with some vintage Fou' and eneded up opening a bunch of cool stuff like VR and some Casey. Have some some bottles I have been menaing to open this year but haven't got around to them, might flip a coin and see what comes up

The hashtag is important I guess... They want to see your social media post about what you are drinking that day #drinkitnow
