Cool story, Bro.

That story is like a shitlord checklist complete with a J. Wakefield cameo.

I love that the article just casually mentions the phrase "razzle buy-in totals" like your average LA Times subscriber has any ******* idea what that means.

Before this article I always assumed that Three Chiefs was like a Wakefield spin-off brewery or something, because I'd never seen or heard about them existing outside of Wakefest.

I mean...they have Chief right there in the name.

Which is funny because I believe beer stores may be getting "stuck" with these barrel aged stouts and end up putting out last year's release when the current year's comes out. I know I've seen it at a few places.



excellent gif usage.

But then if they're shitlords they can just add a nice little "vintage and or cellared" tag on the shelf and jack up the price from a few dollars to absurd amounts of upcharge!

I remember hearing a lot of this about KBS over the past two or three years, so much so that some stores were selling mixed vintage packs at a premium where they swapped two of the current year for two of the last year and put them out first in hopes people wouldn't notice and clear them out of old stock.

Or to rephrase “Bunch of morons undercarb a keg and decide they’ve reinvented a whole category.”

A bunch of relatively accessible beers that don't require you to stand in line for days or trade away your first born and/or soul for. Not surprising.

Interesting that Pizza Boy's post has it spelled "Fuckboi" instead.

state by state...
in Virginia every beer name has to be ABC approved

Yeah the results of this list are largely a product of the methodology used, which favors good, accessible beers that many of the respondents have had. There's something to be said in favor of that (similarly to the BA "Beers of Fame" list if that's still a thing, I'm too lazy to check), although I think it's a bit simplistic for something they are going to label "best beers", especially because, assuming I'm understanding it correctly, they just add up the number of times each beer appears without considering the order in which the user ranked them. "Our reader's favorite beers" or something like that would be more accurate.

This might be the straw that broke the camel’s back for me.

 

[WhalezB4Rarez]

Can’t ever recall a movie being advertised on a beer before but maybe this will stop that from happening again.

 

[spewlanders]

Went to a local taproom today. Had six different beers, all had multiple adjuncts. Listened to the person next to me be dumbfounded that her friend didn’t listen to Mumford and Sons. This is where we’re at. (Insert favorite shrug gif)

For the record, all the beers were good-very good and I like Mumford and Sons.

I don't know any of their songs but I always confuse the name with Sanford and Son and assume all their songs sound like that show's theme song.

It is a well-known fact that if you ever have a song stuck in your head, just hum the S&S theme for 30 seconds and it's clear.

Since beer is dead now we can get on to killing glassware.

Pretty sure that's some sort of candle holder.

I wonder if it's Intihar eligible.

Doesn't even look like it'll hold the 16 oz can.

maybe the bottom is hollow and both sides can be used.
