I know I should move on, and I will...I promise.. but this is irking me terribly.

CABeerLover joins the site today and their second post is shitting on what I think is a reasonable offer. I will address some of the comments made:

"Easy to get stout" - it sold out in minutes at a time and date that was different than what was published on the event page that was only posted a few minutes before the sale went live

"One off lambic" (before the edit)- Framboos is certainly not that. Perhaps A&G is, but I'm fairly confident it is not; this is something 3F has been working towards and will presumably continue moving forward.

"3pp for about an hour" - see "easy to get stout"

"$32.50 vs $40" - Okay, really? Technically, the price comes to $36.52 for the Mex Cake bottles, compared to Art at $42.40 (with tax). Is $5.88 really a big deal?

"Lambic style ales" - wut o_O

In the end, this trade won't be for everyone, but I think it's fair. If the A&G x2 is off, I'll adjust. I just know there are more bottles out there than some people like to admit. There are strange people out there who like stouts more than saisons and lambic; I don't understand it, but it's the world we live in. Maybe the lambic options will require an international trade, which is fine by me. Regardless, I do not think I am screwing anyone over or being a shitlord here.

I will now kindly **** off.

It was a duplicate/spoof account anyway. If someone wants to call you out here, they'll have to do it with their real account.
 
Oh wow dontdrinkbeer thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention:



TL;DR guy posts an aution-style post offering Fremont Ancient Ones, then after being called out claims to be a Fremont employee doing an "experiment" to determine their value.


Sounds like it's actually a real Fremont employee who was trying to make some extra cash but backed out in the worst possible way. That sucks.

fremont disavowed his conduct and are looking into who this is

 
That said, A&G is ******* delicious and well worth seeking out. That is all.

Tremendous understatement. I love regular OG but A&G kicks the **** out of it.

Thanks for the info. I am in love with regular 3F OG. Excited to try A&G. Thankfully, I've got one on the way as we speak. :p

See above. I took one to an 8 man share and 6 of the 8 thought it was the best of the bunch. The other 2 voted for Blaeber and FO (me but A&G was a VERY close #2).
 
Here's a fun one:

When I messaged offering the Maple Bourbon Mexican Cake for Barrel Aged Abraxas, I got this response:

"No sorry. I'm not taking the chance on trading a $500 bottle for one that no one has had before. I would need a couple more to make that trade"

Naturally I responded saying I didn't realize Perennial was charging so much for beer these days SMDH :D
