Random Beer Thoughts

[RyanG1]

dontdrinkbeer runs a FB group called "Barleywine Is Life", that involves a lot of the usual online beer geek chicanery (overused memes, etc.), only centered around barleywines. One guy wrote an attention-seeking post letting everyone know he was quitting the group, that included the words "eggheaded" and "collaborative". Turns out the guy is also a beer blogger who has some really ****** blog (I don't recall the name). As one can imagine in one of these groups, this was the bat signal for members to make fun of the guy through memes, gifs, and so on. A few people obviously took it much further than the group itself and started posting stuff like "Barleywine is Life" and various memes on his blog and his personal Facebook page (which, in all his wisdom, he has publicly available, including the ability for non-friends to comment on his posts). So then he sent that ridiculous threat to DDB over the issue, which I have little doubt only served to embolden the online trolls and escalate the whole thing further.

Similarly I quit calling people jabronis and was memed to the point my wife left me and currently live in a van by a small body of water. On good days I get a wifi signal and plot my revenge

Ironically enough, the same set of circumstances befell me because I -started- calling people jabronis.

That guy is a real jerk. He loves to brag, namedrop and incessantly bully people online.

He's from the Seattle metro area, so I've seen him at a couple events and he always seems super quiet and stays to himself, which is a far cry from his online persona.

It's always funny when someone's online presence doesn't match in real life. Guilty

In my experience the more trolly / internet tough guy / keyboard warrior someone is online, the more likely they are to be the quiet reserved one at tastings / events / etc...

Yeah . . . I'm a ****** online, but I'm really just a happy drunk guy if you catch me out at the pub or at a tasting.

Drink in public? Hard pass.

Sorry, guys. I'm out. I don't know what I was expecting, here, but this seems to be endless iterations of "Barleywine is Life" and moaning about how BW doesn't get any respect. I'm looking for something a bit more collaborative and, I suppose I'd say, more eggheaded. Peace out.

Usually a fan of Viceland and its programming, but I just can't get with this one.

Step 1: Graduate from Yale
Step 2: Help start brewery without knowing much about beer besides how to sell it
Step 3: Profit (sell unestablished brewery to AB and get a TV show)

Agreed. Usually dig Vice, but that show was just awkward and foolish.

Glad quality programming is on tonight.

Just found out I need to be in New England tomorrow for work. I really hope Trade House releases one of their mediocre hype bombs tomorrow so I can sell them at $50 a can online.

Am I doing it right?
