I can't wait for brexit

BA trade forum inundated with ISO : Very Green

 

[boogercrack]

Same here. Would've been nice to be in round 2, but at this point, I live pretty damn far away, and there's plenty of great beer out there that's more easily accessible. I'm past the point of fighting crowds for the latest and greatest.

After re-reading what I just wrote, I should probably add: Get off my lawn!

Proxies are allowed now though, right?

 

[JulianB1]

So ahead of his time

The irony being I'm not looking to get in and if someone nominates me I'll take a pass. But that would have made one hell of a CW essay back in the day...

FB copypasta because too lazy to screenshot:

FT: My extra (2/person) Cycle BA Day ticket (tickets on sale 1/13)

ISO: List

I hope I'm not coming across as greedy here, but aiming somewhat high since I'll have to wait some of Friday night and all through the middle of the night until Saturday morning to get someone a ticket. Here are some things I'm interested in as a "thank you" for helping you get a ticket (just trying to cross some stuff off my wish list). Willing to pay for your ticket and buy you some beers/share some beers that weekend if you can help with something extra-special on this list.

Side Project - at least one of the following: Orviamo, SdF, KdF, Black and Berry, Langst, Vintage 2014 OR an invite to future Derivation share (I don't have any but can bring other high-end stuff; just trying to sample as many Derivations as possible before it's too late). There was a Derivation share here during Tampa Bay Beer Week last year; any chance that there'll be another this time around?

Bottle Logic - some combination of MXYZPTLK, Number Crunch, Fundamental Summation

RAM - Chaos+ OR Side Notes (must include S'more Luv and/or Gimme Samoa)

Schramm's - some combination of Cranberry, Heritage, Apple Reserve, Lord Jim (at least 2)

Flagler Village - VBT (or Maple Madness+)

J. Wakefield - DB La Nada + at least a stout or two from recent release (a few weeks back) that I missed

HF - some combination of Clover, newest Art, newest Aaron

Cantillon - some combination of Nath + newer/newest seasonals

G.I./Bourbon Co. - Bramble Rye, OG Rare (with box), Backyard Rye, Prop. '14 (obviously - I hope - not all of these; maybe some combination, or at least one with a plus)

de Garde - any Broken Truck, Baies & Arbres, We Are You, others (some combination)

Let's talk if you need help and think you can help me out with some of this. I'm reasonable - I promise! Just have a long wish list and not enough time/resources to get everything, so the list's accumulated to the point where I need some good karma/help to try a few things.

Hoping to have something about this finalized by Wednesday (or, at the latest, Thursday) since I'll have to go to Saint Petersburg Friday afternoon/evening to hang out and then get in line.

P.S. Not an auction post; going to help out whoever I can. Since the tickets only are 2/person, some tough choices will have to be made but I'll be fair about this whole thing. More inclined to help those coming from out-of-town and who need extra help to get in to BA Day.

Thanks for looking!

   New 3:1. One of each of the new Other Half/Civil Society collab stouts (Hypersleep regular + 2 variants) for 1 bottle of Prop 17. Thought I had a deal locked in for this but it appears to have fallen though. Willing to add a small + if necessary.
   
   Willing to entertain other offers as well.

So this is one of the shittiest deals on BA......because?

 

[fogindex]

de Garde - any Broken Truck, Baies & Arbres, We Are You, others (some combination)

We Are You is a SARA-brewed collab with Side Project, Jackie O's & Tired Hands, maybe he meant EoC...?

At any rate, Florida gonna Florida.

3 middle of the road stouts from a brewery known for IPAs for a Stout by one of the best stout producers in the world that people sleep overnight in the streets for.

Oh my, lol

 

[JCastle1]

Random thought: although it was brewed at Creature Comforts, King's Ransom (Baltic Porter) is the best Other Half beer I've ever tried. Wish they made it again.

 

[timotao]

I'd take an OH stout over their IPAs any day of the week.

I'm done with beer/whiskey/mead/etc trade/buy/sell/raffle groups. Every ******* post now is

FT: beverages ISO: cryptocurrency

or vice versa. The best ones of course are where they say "ISO: crypto (but not *list of currencies*)"

Dunno if you saw my post in the RBT thread, but I've been quitting FB groups left and right in an effort to be less involved with beer drama in 2018. This crypto obsession is making it even easier.

Fahmie25 and I had a discussion about it this weekend: how do so many people not realize it's an obvious financial bubble?

People not knowing it's a bubble is what makes it a bubble.

It's an acronym. Duh.

Big Brown Testicle?
Kind of redundant that he said x2 because they usually come in pairs anyways. But I guess it never hurts to be as specific as possible.

 

[JulianB1]

All joking aside, that's a really ****** deal. 1 375ml bottle that's 2pp and $20 for 2 750ml bottles that were 1pp and $40 each (I think?). Maybe (hopefully) he meant it the other way around, but probably not.

Side Project beer barrel time.

Project beer barrel time.
While I'd agree that's an uneven trade, I find it hard to get outraged given that I just saw a side project local trying to trade abraxas, which turds up shelves around here (and I don't think is very good anyway) 1: 1 with bg&e

trade the abraxas for the bg&e, then trade that for 2x bbt, then trade that for 2x ba abraxas (i have seen 1:1 bbt: baa). that is how you win trades

It's been on the shelf here. At least last week it was.
