Random Beer Thoughts

And for the record I've only ever heard out of state people call it "the 90"

"The 90" is West Coast speak. It has no business in a Rochester beer group.

Pretty cool article (which has probably already been posted somewhere in here):

Obviously not written by a Moleskine-notepad-carrying beer nerd, but interesting nonetheless.

Ahh, some other Rochesterians. I was "involved" in that thread. In the capacity of pointing out that that dude tried to trade insulin for beer. It got a little bit more insane after that.

Wait he really did that?

I'm in that group, too! It was my brother's face he threatened to throw the pint at.

It wasn't me he was "threatening", I don't believe.

He did. I sent you (I think?) a PM of the screenshot on FB.

It's the minor league of Denver Beer traders.

Ha, I've seen some of the more absurd things from the Denver group. People are out of their minds.

I guess pot for beer isn't that crazy, given that it's in Colorado.

Sooooo, rumours of Akkurat being sold is circulating in some Swedish FB groups since last night...

Looks like the owner confirmed that negotiations were being made as he yelled at someone for posting that it was actually sold.

I thought beer traders in Denver were supposed to be pretty mellow.

I wonder what the implications are future future exclusive lambics there.

Yeah, saw a screenshot of that as well he didn't seem to happy:

The feelings of "sickness" seems a little excessive.

Most of us are. There are cliques of idiots in some Denver groups, but it's great entertainment during work.

"Forget Baseball Cards. Craft Beer is the Hottest thing to trade in 2017"

This spring, I attended a “Craft Beer Tasting and Trading Party.” It was held at a friend’s house in Connecticut and the rules were simple. Bring high quality, hard-to-find, local craft beers to taste and trade—or hang your head in shame. It was kind of like an underground scene in Fight Club–only instead of blood and fist fights, it was beer and tasting cups.

“There’s a whole generation of people, usually retired folks, who love the challenge and scavenger hunt aspect of obtaining obscure beers,” says Joe. “When I texted you, I had just met up with some runners and the entire family–grandparents included–waited on line at Tree House to buy beer to trade with me.”

“Elusive beer is becoming worth more than an actual dollar bill, especially when breweries put a limit on how many items one person can purchase.”

I ******* hate beer.

 

[jbeezification1]

a old tikk quote, you just read it so I'll save the time

**** beer. I hate it so much.

So everything I was thinking about posting was posted in the last 4 posts before mine except for how ******* stupid beer is and I hate it.

This part doesn't make sense to me. If they're local beers then they're not hard to find, right?

Not if you're about that Klein homebrew whale lyfe.

Member that brewery I mentioned that opened then closed then opened then closed? Well now we have this. It's always great when businessmen open breweries.

"futures customers" makes it sounds like they are selling options on not-yet-released beers or something.

Thankfully they offered their deepest apologizes, otherwise those futures customers would've been angrily.

Trying to get into the pre-release trading market to make up their retail shortfall

I bet this is going to be really good if things like The Scribe are any indication. Especially since based on that label it looks more like it's a Side Project beer and not an Evil Twin one.
