Random Beer Thoughts

[andrewdrinks]

In five years we'll all be buying beer from amazon.

Having bought beer in Europe, where buying online is normal, this should be good news for the customer. Couple of use cases:
Ordered a mixed 12 case of Burning Sky 75s from Beer Merchants last Sunday; shipped Monday morning and delivered 10am Tuesday. Shipping was $6, prices were about 15% cheaper than on shelf in London.
Cloudwater and Deya have a weekly cadence of announcing what's being canned that week, taking orders on canning day, then nextdaying cases out from the pre-orders. Typically cans are in hand within 48 hours of can date.

However the UK bottle shop scene is pretty hand-to-mouth, and supermarkets have yet to start stocking craft in bulk (I think Punk IPA is the only beer you can buy in 6/12 pack in big stores, everything else is singles only).

I assume you pointed out the missed opportunity she had to get you a second free margarita?

I took a second cup and she got her first as we waited for the elevator.

My wife gets easily frustrated and she just was at her wits ends after having spent the better part of an hour in the car, with me, in Houston traffic.

Must’ve been a Drury Hotel?

That’s the only hotel that offered me a drink punch card at check in. Free breakfast too.

Texas be classy.

Magnolia Hotel. Pretty classy joint.

You already can here, surprisingly.

Is beer delivery locally illegal in other states? They bring it through PrimeNow.

They even have liquor stores that will bring you booze (Twin Liquors).

In California I believe Amazon can deliver booze. There’s a lot of strange laws about what you can and can’t sell as a liquor store here besides liquor from what I understand that would preclude Amazon doing it.

MAGA

but going to the liquor store accounts for about 80% of of our time away from home + interaction with other humans

Dear god, the new money has gotten worse? I thought it had peaked with 2014ers!

Man, when I lived/worked in New Zealand in 2011, I would order liquor straight from the producer's website, and a few days later it would arrive, hand delivered to my desk at work.

No fuss, no muss.

They tried to do too much with the brand. I've been to the Mirimar Brewery and the one in Little Italy and had a blast at both. The beers were mostly solid to pretty good overall but there is no need to have like 8 different locations in such a close proximity to each other.

Just some of those old school hot ticks I've wanted to try to say I tried them.

This is kind of funny to me. Funny why? Well in the past year or so Gene was on Steal This Beer (hosted by augiecarton) then not long after that the site is sold.

Jeremey Cowan of Shmaltz was on the show then not long after they sold their brewery (not the business) to Singlecut.

This past Monday a guy from Ballast Point was on the show and now this.
