Random Beer Thoughts

Finally got the cellar under 100 bottles, looking to keep it around 50 tops. I don't buy beers to cellar anymore unless I'm actually going to drink it in a few years.

Gave away 20 or so glasses last week. Plan on giving goodwill another 10 or so. Only drink from 4 regularly, I don't know how my collection got so big so quick.

That's the "problem" I noticed too is that I have a few glasses I really like to drink from and then also a few that I have just so I can #properglassware but then I think "do I really need like a dozen snifters?" I will probably re-assess the lineup in a month or so to get rid of more.

And I'm also having a "problem" with what cellar beers to drink sometimes because I'm all "oh, that should be a special occasion" but when I look at these beers and see they've been sitting around for 4 years or so might as well drink them now if that occasion hasn't happened yet. There will always be more KBS, WWS and BCBS made.

Cellaring for a special occasion was my problem. At one point I had 30 beers for me and my buddy that I see about once a year to drink. Last two times he came over we drank only IPAs.

I have 400+ glasses and growing and drink from the same 5-10 pretty much always...

Confessions of a shitelorde. Made my first purchase on MBC for some Treehouse cans because it was a cheaper option then the hassle of finding someone to trade with.

I'll confess I've done this too (on FB rather than MBC, but same idea). Aside from what you mentioned, I'm incredibly lazy and just paying straight cash to have a box show up at my door is so much easier than working out a trade, packing, and shipping.

Basically the only "trading" I do now is slinging boxes back and forth with the same few people, and hooking people up when it's doable (although usually that's more gopickitupformebro stuff).

My reasoning. Not going to venture into the Tree House Trading Thunderdome, and try to trade with a Master or a Blaster. Think it was $5 a tin including USPS shipping, so it got here in two days no problem. And no haggling, shipping bottles, waiting a week +.

Still feel dirty.

I'd bang.

I know man, I've generally always collected some random thing or another my whole life...

Pretty sure there's a tv show profiling people with such propensities...

How come Hommage is the one beer that every batch is like “wow even better than the last batch”? It’s a shitlord miracle....

I'd for sure pay $5/tin to some shitlord to save myself a 3 hour round trip.

Considering you are generally going well over $4$ on hazebrohypetrades, $5/can sounds cheap.

They play a lot of silly games with limits/case counts on beers/glassware to bring the boys to the yard. They are also dropping a 1pp very limited mug for you to proper glassware your marzen with. With no mug, no hazebro would buy that beer.

I'll see that and raise you this...

"we will have a limited amount of these Trillium x Veil friendship 16oz Willi glasses available.

There were approx 500 of these made total. They will be exclusively available from our tasting room and NOT available online through our webstore(for now). They will go on sale today at 4pm when we release Human Adult."

I just dropped off 30+ glasses at the Goodwill. Feelsgoodman.jpg I still probably have 50-75 glasses, but at least the vast majority of what's left are from breweries I've been to.

I've never understood the desire for commemorative event glassware if you didn't attend said event.

FoFA glasses are great for collecting teardrops after you loose out on the ticket lottery.

A lot of what I donated were plain glasses (nonic pints, imperial pints) that were purchased years ago, glasses that were given to me for no particular reason, or glasses that came in gift sets.

You see this glass here, for let me tell you about the time I was at Hunaphu's day in 2014 and nearly trampled in a riot of ravenous pepper stout ********. I nearly gave my life on the hot Tampa pavement to bring America the story of how Cigar City sucks. I thought I'd never step foot in Mons Venus again, or see JulianB passed out poolside at the Hampton Inn. We were really in the **** that day.

Actually I just bought this glass on mybeercellar.com.

Now that some of us are getting rid of glassware it's probably time to drop TalkBeer Glass 006.

Probably has something to do with the fact that most 13 hommages are straight bandaid at this point, and also that most sour beer fans in the US like them as fruity/jammy as they can get so they are "better fresh" to them. I get what you are saying but its not like hommage is a whale or anything at this point.

There was Hommage before 2013 too.

I have about 180 down there right now, and I never buy anything with the intention of cellaring. It just happens. I keep trying to drink it down but it never seems to work.

Hampton Inn? Hah, it was the HoJo, we only spring for the cheapest, most dirtbag accommodations while in Tampa.

It felt wrong when I typed it. Dammit all.

That is Modern Times pricing on some of their hazy cans
