Random Beer Thoughts

[trickytunadicky]

Apparently during the line to pick up bottles at HF today, they went through the line and checked IDs to match with rafflers/resellers online they had some list of to boot them from the line and ban them from hF. Big poop-nado about it on the ISO:FT facebook thing. Already brahs crying about not being able to flip beer on secondary. These dudes seem really defensive over the practice of buying a beer without the intention of drinking or sharing it...

That's pretty awesome of Hill Farmstead to go the extra mile. Hope some shitlords finally got shat upon.

I love the thought of a raffling douchecanoe driving 4 or 5 hours to HF only to get turned away

have homies finally gone too far?

edit: have homies finally gone farther than too far already?

edit 2: I can't look away. holy ****. this is both depressing and hilarious

Finally? Psh.

Just saw a beer description for an "Imperial pilsener that takes influence from Doppelbocks and American IPAs".

Brewers are idiots some times.

Of all the brands struggling to gain traction out there, how in the **** is Rogue still a thing?

Sorry I'm a little behind in this thread ...but whoever the guy is that said "bring your home brew down if it's better than our IPA maybe I'll hire you" ( like its totally impossible a home brew can be better than his beer and that working for him is the ultimate reward ) is a dick.

There are a lot of turds in the craft beer anoos, and I feel most go through a Rogue phase.

My Rogue phase was for about 3 hours in 1995.

It looks like someone determined drinking a Guiness would be a more prudent choice than the grapefruit juice at that time.

Either someone is making a very beer nerdy joke, or a random customer just did an unwittingly super ironic product swap/placement...either way, I chortled.

I get what you're trying to say, but this is actually a poor example to use. Most American Barleywines are indistinguishable from Imperial IPAs. They seem to be kind of making fun of that.

They're Rogue. **** Rogue.

Show me on the doll where Rogue touched you.

Well, for Rogue, yes that the case. Both are boozy and bitter as ****.

Could Justin Cole possibly be the secret identity of Florida Man, the world's worst super hero?

I apologize if this was already posted and old news, but Jolly Pumpkin did collabs with Evil Twin and Milleller and then blended the beers so they were on the same, third, collaboration. This kind of shenanigans makes me so happy!

A buddy of mine brought back some Jolly Pumpkin/Evil Twin collab from Michigan and it was bad. Worst Jolly Pumpkin beer I've had by far.

How do we react to inBev if it's not something that we are all outraged over?
