They had them on a list of breweries they wanted. He also said that he was mainly looking for IPAs, saisons and barleywines. PSUMike stepped up to grant it

I noticed Mike got to it. Just making sure I understood how the thing was supposed to work.

HAHA...are you get frustrated with me, Greg? I'm so sorry to have disappointed you with my laziness.

(For the record, I meant OP of the thread...too many instructions. But it's on my watched list now. I should be able to participate.)

Nicest guy in the game is getting angered by the lack of nicety around here lately.

We might have to do a honey roast of Greg soon.

No one is going to understand this but Matthouse3, and for that I apologize.

 

[PSUMike]

Why can't the OP just say that?

IN.

I never noticed the thread before but it's a cool idea. Will definitely take part.

Even if DoubleMex was better, you and your butt buddies would never admit it.

I’ve always tried to give an honest review no matter the brewery or what hatorade you think I have. Seeing tons of DoubleMex ft iso gnvp tells me all I need to know.
Side note. Not cool on the homophobic name calling. Tells a lot about you as a person

That's entirely illogical, but you know that. Just your same ole' story, same ole' song and dance.

How is that illogical? Doesn’t take a genius to see lots of DoubleMex ft meaning they want rid of it. And are wanting a better beer thus the iso gnvp.

OR, like Barfly and I posted, we wanted to trade our second bottle of DoubleMex for someones second bottle of GNVP so we could try both.

But that entirely logical conclusion doesn't fit your agenda-driven narrative.

This! I hate how these two breweries continue to be pitted against one another.

It would make more sense to me to compare Voodoo or BG to breweries outside of the area. But we continue to fuel some perceived weirdness between them by alluding to one or the other in light of whatever recent release is happening. It's just pointless.

So does mocking the poor and homeless.

This, it makes no sense. I don't understand why in the world these two breweries can't co-exist without some feeling they have to **** on one or the other.

I would love that. I have no issues with BG, it's the ridiculous fandom that bothers me (as I'm sure many of you hate me for). The difference I see is Voodoo has earned the fan following with breweries all over the world wanting them to collab or pour at their festival and having one of the best BA programs out there. Hell, the guys are currently in Paris with their beer. BG makes some great beer but the mega fans on this page talk about them like the greatest thing in the world then **** on me or others who give an honest opinion that beer "x" is good but not mind blowing.

"better" isn't the correct term. "available" might be closer, but not for everyone.

Speaking for myself, I had no shot whatsoever at getting a double mex.. 3:00 or earlier on a weekday to line up to get a "ticket"? not when the 8 miles takes 30-50 minutes to get there from the north side.. spending 3 hours in the car (at 8am) on a saturday, pass on that too. then do it again the next day? hard pass. yes, I know it's clearly my fault for living ~45 minutes north of the city..

did I want to try it? yep. kinda sad. oh well.

gnvp.. announced in the afternoon. left work on time at 4:30. didn't even bother going to homestead. 1 hour drive to meadville, got 2 bottles and a pour. 1 hour drive home.

for me it was availability.

did I like it? had more cinnamon than last year, little less barrel heat, so for me, yep, better than last years. trade a bottle for a doublemex? doubtful. much more likely I will try to trade for an FO+ or DB VSS+ or something else much more in my flavor "range"

just 2 cents..

WHOA!

There is absolutely nothing homophobic about the phrase "butt buddy". Not really cool of you to jump right to gay stuff. And if I was talking about gay stuff, whats wrong with being gay? Why would you take such offense to that? It's 2017 bro, get with the program.

What would happen if they ever collaborated on a BA brew?

Anyway, here's Wonderwall.

Listen man, we know you love Voodoo, you've made that very clear. But so does every person that contributes to this thread. They make amazing beer and are recognized for it. But for whatever reason you feel the need to come in and **** on other breweries that are trying to make a name for themselves. Just because you try to tear other places down, it doesn't make anyone love Voodoo any more than they already do. You're like a little kid who is throwing a tantrum because his parents are having another baby and he's afraid they won't love him as much. It looks very bad, but it doesn't seem like you care so keep on keepin on.

Nice! That's cool you got GNVP. If Voodoo hadn't done a spur of the moment announcement people would have driven from all over to get it. I remember that's how it used to be with BRC releases. Talking to people as you sat in the street overnight "oh you're from DC? you traveled from Chicago/Minnesota etc?" Locals would really get shut out then.

Lines dude...******* endless lines.

 

[psbhockey12]

Good talk Matthouse3 . Positive vibes from now forward. Cheers

 

[barflybastard]

To be fair (and to say nothing about ratios), if GNVP were released first and DM second, we likely would’ve seen some percentage of those FT/ISOs flipped, especially locally.
