Random Beer Thoughts

[JulianB1]

The way it's going right now, craft beer is quickly becoming a drinkable version of Beanie Babies. ISO:FT groups on FB are doing **** like trading Hawaiian vacations, glass bongs, and furniture for beer. I'm surprised there hasn't yet been a beer version of this pic yet:

I traded a friend who was moving beer for his futon. Also:

ISO: Suunto Core 3 Altiwatch
FT: beer

If any of you shitlords can do this, pm me.

Yeah. I am ISO of that Sunnto also. Ambit 3 here or Traverse.

You have one of their watches, JulianB?

 

[harrymel1]

This. CREAM. I'd take that cash in a heart beat.

YOLO for real.

 

[wyatt1]

I got you fam.

 

[LukeAleTime]

I wouldn't say lying, I would say rationalizing.

Is that a divorced couple splitting up their beanie baby collection in a courthouse?

Sounds like everyone from this site is disqualified from the accommodations.

Wait... is she offering ******** for a CCK?

Nah but that's definitely an update I have in mind for the future. My Highgear altiwatch kind of blows, and the battery dies quickly.

Fireman Capital to Purchase Cigar City

I heard this the other night from the bartender at the Wasatch Brewpub.
I shrugged it off because really?

If this means I can get CC in salt lake ******, I'm all for their new overlords!

Maybe they're tired of running the brewery and just want a giant pile of cash?

Don't disagree, but this then implies that they are all lying through their teeth when they talk about the "best way forward" and whatnot.

How many of them stay with the business after these deals though? Do they mostly just sell and retire? How much actual cash do the owners get usually?

Nothing more / less than the hundreds of folks who tried it this weekend and realized it wasn't worth $650+ a bottle for it. Tried a bottle at BA Cycle Day that was the definition of meh (especially compared to the other amazing beers on draft / being shared).

The draft was better on Saturday at Hunahpu Day, but not by enough to make me want to trade BCS Variants for let alone drop that much coin on a bottle.

Adjunct stouts only get so good. Not sure new ground will ever be broken in the vanilla BA stout world.

"**** all you that think diff. Chicago scene is better than any ***** around"

Unfortunately I didn't run into him this trip but this was a quote from a friend who was pouring at Hunahpu Day.

True, but the first batch of Apple Brandy Hunahpu was possibly the best adjunct stout I've ever had (super close to Brandy Vanilla Dark Lord). Apple Brandy Vanilla Zhukov wasn't in the same league.

Now the Skittle Brau Berlinner Weiss from Cigar City was possibly the new frontier in adjunct usage (and I hate to admit it was really tasty).

Ugh! I'm not in the office today otherwise I'd 'shop this for us.
I want to live in a world where every JEGhov pic gets the neckbrace treatment.
