Random Beer Thoughts

[JCastle1]

Most of the boxes have included some beer (or mead, whiskey, whathaveyou), but it's not the main focus. I didn't even mention beer in my current list. I am shipping to someone who put mead and Malört on theirs (sucker).

Would definitely put Malort on my list.

How much are they charging for BP and Pliny? I thought we had moved past those beers being crazy expensive up here, but I went to Horse Brass the other day, and they were charging $9.25 for a pint of Pliny.

Someone on the other site posted about a seemingly across-the-board price hike at Horse Brass. I haven't been there forever, so I cannot confirm.

But $9.25 for any IPA is a big ol nope for me.

Obligatory **** Malort.

But why?

I actually don't mind it. It's fun to share with others.

Sorry you dislike your friends.

Malort is by far the most fun thing to do shots of with friends.

I could drink a gallon of that ****.

Not the best alcohol for anything else though. Ha.

 

[BadJustin]

Yeah, we are trying to get the name changed to the MAW - Snacks and Swag BIF so people know what Other Stuff means.

uhhh I can do that

 

[trickytunadicky]

We asked you to change it days ago, homie.

Correction, you most likely asked drunk Justin, he and I operate independently.


Edit: Done

Lol no one even likes a post with Lutter in it. Neat.

I got added to a raffle group, for food. The fuq?

Assuming it's the same thing (people raffle stuff like homemade desserts, backyard chicken eggs, etc.), someone gave me a blow-by-blow of this the other day and it's so hilariously typical of both the way there are a ton of beer geeks who are degenerate gamblers while simultaneously not understanding neither basic probability/statistics nor basic economics. The description I got was something to this effect:

-beer geeks started getting added to this group (maybe others?) and immediately grabbing up all the spots in raffles
-non-beer geek group regulars started complaining about how everything was filling up too fast
-prices started rising rapidly
-beer geeks, not understanding supply/demand in the slightest, started complaining about how things were costing twice as much as the week before

You could honestly probably put together a pretty good module in a behavioral economics class using the craft beer scene (both online and off) as a case study.

You can raffle off backyard chicken eggs? We get over a dozen a day and refuse to sell them for the 2.50/dz they go for around here.

What do you do with them?

The kid eats like 5 hardboiled a day, the dog gets a few a day, and freeze them.

You wanna know how have a million dollars in your bank account after starting an egg business?

Start with 2 million.


I also use them as target practice at the range. It's cheaper than buying paper targets.

If you send BadJustin $1M worth of Old Milwaukees on Monday, he'll buy $2M worth of eggs from you on Tuesday.

Simple economics.

I'd rather just send him $1m. At least he'd be able to get indoor plumbing and not have to use an outhouse.

my dad's dad ran a chicken factory.. farm.. whatever they called it in the 50s

he paid the kids a nickel for every 800 eggs they collected or some nonsense. those profit margins must have been insane.

Local brewery has a pretty cool new beer I haven't really experienced before: they did a single hop pale ale with Saaz, a pretty clean malt bill (mostly 2-row) and their English ale yeast they use for their NEIPAs. These pale ales are mainly brewed as a way to propagate the yeast and maintain yeast health, but this is a legitimately tasty beer. Some spicy and tangerine-esque hoppy aspects, a soft mouth feel, and a neutral malt profile. Neat take on "New England pale ale" or alternatively a spin on a dry-hopped pils/kolsch. Flavorful but drinkable and not palate-fatigueing.

I’m sorry this is just how I feel.

I have no idea what that means.

What did you drink?

If you’re serious about moving to PA, you could sell eggs like that for about $7/dozen in and around Philly.

A Saaz-hopped pale ale? Not sure what about that was unclear.
