Operation: find the shittiest deal on beer Advocate

[petrinoda]

I remember that episode.. What a nut haha

 

[seedavid]

The bar just off campus from where I went to law school was on Bar Rescue. They only remodeled half of the bar though. The one half they worked on looked great, though they ended up ditching most of the new menu a few months later, since a lot of the dishes didn't sell well. The other half remained a dumpy looking armpit where law students went to get shithoused on $1 pints of Natty Lite.

Good times.

Why would they only remodel half the bar? Who wants to go to a bar that looks like **** on one side and nice on the other?

Parents love to see where their kids get blackout drunk, but have worked hard enough to do it from the comfort of the Bar Rescue side of things

I was picturing a nice evening drinking chardonnay and eating bacon wrapped scallops on the nice side of the bar devolving into a drunken blackout drinking fireball and gorging on fried appetizer sampler platters on the ****** side. As you get drunker you just inch closer to the **** side.

It would actually be ******* hilarious and awesome if a place like this existed.

When you enter, you determine how shithoused you are and slide in at the appropriate spot in the continuum.

"Sir, I'm going to have to ask you and your friends to move over to the stools with the order of jalepeno poppers."

 

[seedavid]

You guys actually aren't that far off. The nicer side was more for townies looking to hang out and watch a hockey game, maybe have a burger and a few Yuenglings.

The unimproved side was a bunch of ******** law students slamming cheap well drinks, shots, and Natty Lite, so they can forget about their miserable lives, then go back to the dorms and cheat on their significant others with each other. It was ****** up.

People have significant others in college?

The floor should be slopped to the **** side so as you get drunk you can't help but naturally descend to the appropriate level of drunk.

Gentle slopes become incredibly difficult to handle when you become belligerently black out drunk

Have you lot never been into a English pub in the 80's? Snug/Lounge was always separated from the bar area. My local still had sawdust on the floor in the bar. Separate entrances, and while it was possible to go through from one side to the other thought he frosted glass door, it was not encouraged.

I was just going to send this one to a buddy for a laugh. This is a good one.

I'm going to guess the number of people who can say "yes" to this is less than the number of years remaining on the connectivity status of beerindex's vas deferens.

Myself and few other fellow Floridans laugh at his offers all the time, sad thing is this is one of his better offers.

I saw someone post a haul pic on the other site, and thought "huh, never heard of that one." Then I saw this post earlier today:

I thought that was a pretty impressive FT list, but I don't tread in such realms - I assume the top 2 wouldn't go 1:1 with the Derivations listed?

Wow - what do you think is wrong with the oldest kid? Or was he punished for bad behaviour?

Umm, wut? These went 2:1 yesterday for MD. And he's ISO 2:2 for bottles on that same level. Unless his other offers are batshit insane I don't understand how this would be a relatively good one. Of course he limits his profile so you can't easily look at his history, because why not?

Even in a ****** deal thread, Florida gonna Florida.

But then again he does have one fan.

Unless this is one of those fake posts that will "close," thus driving up the value of some beer no one's heard of.

Just a casual outsider's observation with no dog in the hunt but it seems like MD isn't trading nearly as high as it was a few months ago. I don't think a MD would close a Derivation 1:1 right now, even D3.

EDIT: Except B1. For some ridiculous reason unbeknownst to me, a 3 year old non-barreled coffee stout is still trading stupid high.

Earlier today on FB, I saw someone offering those same 2 ISO MBP or SR71. Slightly more reasonable than 2 Derivations but come the **** on.

Can I move to Florida and become some sort of branding/design consultant for breweries? I feel like they need it.

Theory: they figure if they can outdo J Wakefield on the bad design, they can share some of that hype.

Right, that's what I'm saying. The two Flagler bottles went 2:1 for MD, which doesn't trade as high as the bottles that that ****** is ISO, and he wants a 2:2 ratio.

If anything, based on the completed trade I quoted he should be adding just to get 1 derivation.

This looks like something that was created back in 1997 with Microsoft Clip Art.

FWIW, someone offered Assassin for those two Flagler bottles yesterday

Assassin is about = to a Derivation right? So the guy with the Flagler FT is looking for about double the going rate, seems legit.
