Fuckn hell, its 2 and I'm not first in line. 3 idiots line myself and 2 mules

Serious Q... Is it common practice to come to the line, pop a chair down and then leave? Because up until yesterday at BG I had never witnessed this.

only if it's an official pittsburgh parking chair

Gonna start walking into places with my dong already in my hand, use that reverse psychology on them, really **** with their minds.

Isn’t that McMatt7 signature move?

Not frowning upon this, but rather I would like to understand your argument on "from a pure business standpoint it makes sense to sell everything initally".

I laid out the start of my thought process before, but to expand: I realize there is the not carrying inventory and re-cooping your investment quicker argument, which is why newer breweries typically cannot do this model. However, assuming you a.) have room to store said inventory and b.) your initial bottle release covers your initial investment plus some additional value then the remaining stock for onsite consumption would add the additional values I outlined earlier plus what I would also argue is an uptick in your branding. Most breweries invest quite a bit in their "image and branding" and being able to consume what most consider to be their premium offerings in their space and chosen atmosphere would only add to it.

You pretty much got my logic. If you sell it all initially you eliminate anything going wrong. Maximize profit. Wasnt considering recouping cost with only selling a portion of initial inventory. Figured margins are pretty low.

Tired Hands is the only place I can think of.

Looks like I might not be getting doublemex this year

They just told two poor souls they were 51 and 52 for the day.

 

[preluderl]

People out there goin' hard in the paint.

 

[McMatt7]

I'm so pissed off its making my nuts hurt, if anyone of you are ever in line for beer behind a chair and you don't move the ******* chair you're an idiot.

This is the United States of America, you don't have to stand in line for beer behind a god damn chair. Show some ******* self respect.

50 people in line today about 20 mins earlier than yesterday. Not a trend I like to see.

I got there at 3:30 yesterday and I ended up being #45 in line. It got to 50 maybe 10 minutes later. So about 3:40 yesterday, like 3:00pm today.

I wondered how much traffic the Dancing Gnome release yesterday siphoned off of the DoubleMex line. Seems like it made an impact, for sure.

Yea I was going off the timestamps on here. Saw 3:15 today on Twitter so half hour is more accurate

I would contend that the quick development of yesterday's line is the single biggest factor in the even quicker development of today's line.

I'm so right, by the way. Don't bother posting additional opinions.

Still PA.

...legit? I vote legit.

Yup.

 

[kbuzz1]

Using same method as I did for III, I could not acquire an allotment of DoubleMex this year. In addition to sad feels, I also have happy/proud feels that PGH is on the map.

Mostly still sad feels though. My taste buds run the show.

Not sure I will get bottles at this point, but I'd say that some regular Mexican Coffee growlers along with some delicious hops will ease those pains.

Really busy now, but happy to get you a box with these Kevin in a few weeks.

 

[preluderl]

Sounds to me like some of you just aren't dedicated enough anymore. Time to hang up your growler bags.

This. I did not mention in my elaborate argument earlier that me 3 years ago would’ve hated the same idea that I am pushing. 2017 Greg is a family man who rarely ever trades and would be quite happy to drink a bottle with friends onsite. 2014 Greg wanted bottles to trade bro.

No thanks Greg. No need. Appreciate the offer though. I'll be in town over the Christmas break and I'm willing to bet that something cool will be going on somewhere during that time. Whether it be BG or DG hops or Voodoo something or Heini's or the new HH location. So much activity in Pgh these days that there's no need to spend money on shipping to try to capture any specific moment in time.

A shame that the most loyal of you can't get this stuff though. Just doesn't seem right dammit!

******* Paste.

 

[preluderl]

I'll more than likely end up giving my spare to whichever one of you sad sacks ends up totally missing out.

On an unrelated note, when I wrote that last post, auto correct initially changed dedicated to deficating. I should have left it as is.

I’ve become the same, but I have thought about making a trade for this beer. Unfortunately I feel like that trader Maxx Profitzz will probably win out.

I'll be in Pittsburgh over Thanksgiving, so I can bring back a whole truckload of **** if you want. I wish I could this weekend but Im flying and dont feel like paying to check a box of beer.

 

[preluderl]

Maybe if kbuzz is a good boy his old lady will let him come out to play for a share like last Christmas.

What kind of cost do you think is acceptable? Something like side project or Westbrook?
