Do you guys toss these in the trash or should I give them to a local beer store for recycling?

Beer legos were fun for a bit but they take up room in the closet

I know the place I'm working at would greatly appreciate those pack techs (sp?). Planning on using them for mixed 4packs of cans for what its worth.
 
My local has been experimenting with no-boil IPAs.

I guess all that bitterness from the boil is hurting everybody’s poor wittle tongues. (Said in baby voice).

NEIPAs over 8% are already too sweet and chalky, so this sounds downright repulsive.

Are they not going to cook the ribs for the perfect pairing?

Totally agree on the stronger neipas - they almost make me feel sick they are so sweet.

I definitely give them back to places that reuse them. Orange and Brew is a lot closer than Cellarmen's, which is where I have been taking them.

The trend of beer that doesn't really taste like beer continues unabated.

Well i personally love the taste of creamed corn and hops so why not.
 
I've been using fresh vanilla beans for over a decade for cooking, baking, etc. I stopped buying them over 1.5 years ago when the shortage hit and the prices quadrupled. Sucks. But, I just saw this pic and all I could think was how terrible those beans look! Super dryed out and un-happy looking.

Man, the state of vanilla beans is sad.....

Could be Mexican or Guatemalan beans. Those look like the ones I use and they're great.

"pairing well with"

Now there's a phrase I could do without hearing ever again. Couple of locals use it waaaaaay too much.
 
feeling pretty good about having drank down my "cellar" to only a couple hundred bottles of lambic, fantome and bcbs remaining.

then have that realization that i've got to go pick up 3 cases of black tuesday from the guy i split HS with.

You guys get 3 cases each??? Took me 6 years to open the only bottle I had, can't imagine what I'd do with 36 of them.
 
Often enough to wish a bottle only costs $11. Your math is way off.

1-2/week when Im flush. That 36 probably wont last to next year's release.
By yourself? I've done that once or twice in my life so I get the appeal, but that's like 1200 calories worth of beer (at least!). Doing it once or twice a week seems... problematic, unless you're compensating for that somehow.

A four year old little **** last night ran up to me and whopped me in the gut with a balloon and yelled FATY BELLY FAT BELLY FAT BELLY as he ran circles around me.


He is not wrong, but still an *******.

Wait, how much is Black Tuesday now? Are they in 375s or 12oz?

edit: I am definitely out of touch with that market. I just remember them being close to $30 a bottle and was assuming 12 bottles in case. 3 cases means 3 * 12 * 30 = $1080.

edit2: wow my math really does suck.

Thats insane. I just bought a keg of Big Bad Baptista (8 gal) for $260 (tax included) here in CO
