Wait how is this an April Fool's joke? Do a giant 120 Minute, someone will buy it.

They are taking a page from ThinkGeek and using an April Fools “gag” to gauge interest in an item.

If it cost $50 or under, id totally pour that **** into a flower vase and take it to the face. Its been a long time since I drank a liter or more of 120.

Id up the ante and pay even more if it was a jeroboam or methuselah.
























Id also have a hangover for a week but thats the price you pay for being an idiot

120 is like 12% ABV now you ******* wimp.

Any beer is a session beer if you try hard enough.

2019 is listed as 17.5%. Where are you getting this 12% number?

@calagionecalzone12 on Reddit told me that they cut the grain bill by 20% and it's financing their entire session beer department with enough to buy a new pizza oven. There's also no ABV listed on the label. Suckers.

Aren't the Moksa brewers from Abnormal? Does Abnormal have the same hype:quality ratio?

What was the fruit:stout ratio at Abnormal. I've only seen a handful of taps in SF for Moksa stouts but they've all been fruited stouts. FOH

I think they know that no one likes fruited stouts so that's what they distribute, keeping the sexier stuff for themselves.

Man. Avery really ****** himself building that new brewery, eh?

I guess with the revelation that they're brewing mostly All Day IPA there already this makes sense.

Wanna read a guy crying that Texas reforming beer laws in 2013 to allow on-site sales put his beer bar out of business? The owner of The Flying Saucer tells you how unfair it is for breweries to get a level play field and operate tap rooms and (hopefully) off-premises sales this year.

... meanwhile there are over a dozen beer bars with 60+ taps flourishing right now... including 2 Brass Tap locations and a Yard House if comparing franchises....

... maybe your place failed because it was the only choice back in the day but when options opened you did not adapt and everyone figured out you were an overpriced “breastaurant”-lite with terrible food?

Seriously this is the **** we deal with here.

In other news Today i came across a place that has just gotten Russian River in. Big sign, big display.

They had Sanctification priced at Damnation price point. $6.

I bought none and told them of the error.

Also worth pointing out that some of the family has a stake in a brewery in Dallas and the most involved family member is just as much of a whiner about anything that doesn't go his way.

That family is the ******* worst.

The Who is coming in concert. A friend asked if I wanted to go. I asked the wife and she had no clue who they were. I played a few songs and she thinks she has an elementary school teacher that liked them.

I wonder if I can play them often enough to get her into it.

No idea why this in in the RBT thread, but whatever.

Shall I tell you my thoughts on The Who members? It is similar to my thoughts on Morrissey!?!

Jersey had some bar owners outright boycott purchasing local beer last year for similar reasons.

Not a lot of these here in NJ and if they are half the lines are filled with meh or old AF product.

Pretty much this for every single bar complaining.

Seriously this is the **** we deal with here.

Everywhere has their ****. We even had infighting among the brewers association which caused a splinter organization. It was basically the breweries who are larger and more distribution focused vs the new smaller guys who do most sales out of the tasting room. Now that their are two orgs we don't get any support from national.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with their insane All Drafts cost $3 days that they do. Yes, I will drink 5 glasses of Gueuze Tilquin that you normally have priced at $15 a pour for $3. I'm sure this won't turn around and bite you in the ass.
