Random Beer Thoughts

Uptown Girl amirite?

That's a terrible song, but c'mon, he has lots of great ones.

Founders following up Mosaic Promise with that Azacca beer is the equivalent of watching Jack White shred for an hour and a half with an encore, then having to watch Billy Joel come out after him.

******* disappointing.

Azafata is genuinely one of their worst beers.

Overhead coming from a brewer at a cask fest while setting up: "It's impossible as a small batch brewer to be consistent from batch to batch"

I literally looked at him and laughed.

Jesus Christ. Consistency is so much easier at small volume.

That entire album is banger after banger. Wall to wall bangers and if you deny that you are probably a bad person.

Do you mean like banging your head into the wall until you concuss yourself into temporary deafness?

You can get in by being in line at 9am with one of the share bottles in hand, OR by being in line at 9am and winning the lottery. The lottery will be open for (4) participants that we will choose at random. No bottle necessary, you just have to be in line at 9am and chosen at random.The other (11) entries will be based upon first come first served, and in order of the bottle list below. For example, if two people bring our #3 bottle on the list, then whomever is first in line will gain entry. Communication is key in this game. As for the (4) lottery entries we will be providing their rarities to share so all is fair. So here's what you receive upon entry...... 1.) RAR Whale Card - Gives you vip access to every can release in 2018. You'll be guaranteed purchase ability to (1) full case of every release. No lines for you. Just communicate what you want, and when you want to pick it up. We'll handle the rest.
  2.) Whale Share Teku only available by participating in the event.

Regular Cantillon Kriek is such a whale. As is any OEC bottle.

 

[sunnrider]

Seriously, they called it Rar Brewing?

I saw that logo on a ******* civil society can the other day. I said to myself "what the heck is that thing, it can't be a brewery, who would call themselves rar?"

Jesus I ******* hate beer.

This is up there among the dumbest beer-related things I can recall:

As dumb and all over the place as that list is, at least they tried to set expectations on the quality of beer to bring. A local brewery organized a big ass bottle share and tried to make the buy-in 1 whale or a few "gems". Bunch of local dipshits couldn't wrap their heads around "gems" being something better/more limited than regular TH/Trillium cans. I didn't wind up going for a variety of reasons, but it was just a really stupid idea to try and police the beers for a share that's open to everyone.

Breweries and bars shouldn't organize bottle shares.

a 3F OG from 1999? NICE.

 

[beerindex]

Are the Alstroms silent investors in RAR? Because I'm at a loss for how else one would explain such an unmitigated level of *********gery.

 

[jivex5k1]

Gzip compression was introduced in 1993. I thought it was older actually but that's still pretty old.

 

[MooseLang]

Hey, you guys are bashing my local brewery! The nerve...

RAR is their shortened version of Realerevival Brewing. I'm not sure which name is dumber. Is it Real Ale Revival? Or just Real Revival? I don't know, and they've been open for a few years now.

You didn't answer the obvious question: What are you bringing to the share?

 

[dbannister]

How about being one of the people who are in line without a bottle hoping to be one of the 4 "lottery" winners chosen? That would be a funny thing to see as the lucky 4 are revealed.

"hmmm...I want to tick some rare beer but I don't want to go through the time, effort and cost to acquire them. If only there was a way I could get people to bring these beers to me. Heck, maybe I could even get them to give me money as well...."

If it's "Real Ale Revival" they sure as **** ain't making Real Ale.

 

[MooseLang]

lol I remember when I first heard they were opening. My first thought after seeing the name was, "ahh cool. Maybe it will be a brewery that focuses on Cask and Real Ale. Could be something unique." Maybe they need to start putting their hazy IPAs and pastry stouts in some casks or something. Maybe call up Ding and see what he has going on.

They actually make some solid beer, and are probably right up there with Evolution as best brewery in Maryland. But man, things like this ******* "whale share" are definitely embarrassing.
