Random Beer Thoughts

When you offer to C+S for someone in a brewery membership Facebook group you're both in and then they ghost you after you've bought the beer.

Oh well. They've got 24hrs or it's giveaway time.

I almost had that happen once with a bunch of Floodland beer that the guy actually paid for. Didn't hear from him for over a month before he finally got in touch with me. Didn't take up much space in my garage, but I'd jokingly mention drinking them soon to friends.

Tell me it's not the Suarez group. If it is, PM me please.

Nah it was a west coast one.

This was just a 4 pack but I live in a typical NYC shoebox so it's probably about equal LOL. It's much more the hassle of going to the brewery and like the blatant disrespek meng vs. the cash.

You buried the lede a bit by not linking to the actual event website:

So VIP is $300 and doesn't even include food? 200 bucks gets you 2 4-packs of cans and 6 500ml bottles, only one of which is barrel-aged. This makes Wakefest look like a deal in comparison.

The site itself looks like the theme for a smartphone game aimed at 6 year olds.

Yeah but you're totally in profit once you factor in the secondary, right?

(OH fully embrace all of that nonsense)

What happens if it rains?
Pastrytown will be rain or shine! Bring your umbrella!

No

No

The "we ask for you to pay in cash or check for all Resilience purchases". Seems a tad sketchy to me.

That stood out to me as well. Maybe it's so all they can keep better track of all of the sales and how much cash to give to charity. Or so less doesn't go to charity due to credit card fees?

How do you factor that into secondary pricing?

Seems like they don't want to lose out on the CC fees if they're truly donating all sales. Not sure that this is an "assume the worst" scenario.

It's what though, literally cents? Seems like they would be hindering sales with that approach.

Well now poor people can buy it because they always have cash on hand and don't use credit cards.

VIP isn't even the worst deal.

$50 for a DD ticket?!?!? How is a DD ticket more than like $5 or $10 at most? You don't get any food with the ticket, don't get to drink, and have to be around sweaty neckbeards for 4 hours? That sounds like one of the outer circles of hell.

THE 18TH STREET GAMBIT!

(They got roasted for doing the same thing a few years ago, but at least their DD ticket got you two "craft sodas," which maybe is worse because that's valuing your craft soda at a higher price than your BA'd stout but what-the-**** ever)

Do you have the beat to Pastrytown?

I tried for about 1min to come up with a Pastytown version of Funkytown but there is a disturbing lack of lyrics in that song.

Someone better at these sorts of things may be more successful.

I'm more kind of a weird inside joke meme generator...this is more in jivex5k 's territory

 

[WhalezB4Rarez]

Gotta make a fest that'll make my jeans tight on me
Fest to keep me eatin'
Keep me drinkin' with some paste-ery

Well, I talk about it, text about it
Post about it, talk about it
Talk about, text about
Post about drinkin'

Not a Saison
Get my drink on
Is my Lipitor gone?

Won't you take me to
Pastrytown
Won't you take me to
Pastrytown
Won't you take me to
Pastrytown
Won't you take me to
Pastrytown

You aren't factoring in the crappy independent wrestling.

I mean, it's not like you can get a ticket to a WWE show for 50 bucks...oh wait a minute, you absolutely can.
