Random Beer Thoughts

[danbanana]

Between asking the bartender if they would make a smaller batch so it would "trade higher". And that they like to "lay down" their ipas for a week or 2 I am seriously considering choking one of these folks with their own beard.

From a Transient email to club members a few months ago:

Unfortunately, over the last month following our release, I have lost extra sleep due to emails about the lack of exclusivity of the beers we offered to members (since remaining bottles were sold openly at our taproom) and the cost of our bottles being too low.

I can picture some neckbeard singing to his beers:

"Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay thee down..."

Is it really "laid down" if you don't store it horizontally?

"Tart Peach Kolsch"? **** off.

And sure enough one of my FB friends "checked into" this beer with "most refreshing beer I've ever had" further evidencing the fact that it sucks. They like blue moon.

Parish Brewing Envie is better than 90% of NE IPAs.

Also DDH Envie is better than everything.

I knew we could get along just fine. Did you have it before it went hazy?

No. This weekend was my first time having it. I grabbed a 6 pack from a gas station in Lafayette and was blown away.

We're getting BA Ten Fidy in Sweden on Friday. Really looking forward to it, but wondering about how big the cost difference is? We're getting them at about $14/can here in Sweden..

Was like $11/can here, so not that bad

Wow! We actually get a quite good deal here in Sweden then (for once)!

Buy it all.

About 3312 cans are hitting the Swedish market, so don't think I'm going to buy them all..... fun fact, we are also getting KBS on Friday just a few bottles though, like 24000 of them..

Paid 12 for my can.

that's an oddly specific number

and also 3312 more than i've seen so far

 

[sneakychi]

Haha, yeah, taken straight from the excel sheets published by Systembolaget (the only store allowed to sell liquor/beer in Sweden) here

What's this marked at?

I wanna say last year it was $22.99/4-pack here. Might've been $17.99.

They were sold by the can here too, and it ran me $13.89 plus tax and deposit.

I've paid as low as £6 a bottle but have seen it for up to £12.

edit: sitting online at £7.25 a pop. https://www.saveur-biere.co.uk/bottled-beer/26906-founders-kbs.html

Deposit?

Yes. As a way of trying to cajole people into recycling, you pay a 10 cent per bottle or can as a deposit, and you redeem it by returning the empty can or bottle into a machine at a local grocery store. Like many people, I don't find it to be worth the hassle, and so chalk it up to being a stupid tax I have to pay and simply throw it out with the rest of my trash.

Took my bottles and cans in yesterday. Took 10 minutes. Used the cash I got back to buy 12pk Two Hearted.

It's only a tax if you don't return the bottles/cans.

Remind me of being in Germany and buying cheap beer at Aldi for 25 cent per bottle. 12 cents was the deposit, I believe.

Drink them all, go back the next day, return the bottles, and buy another case using the money you just got back. It felt like free beer!

******* I love Aldi.
