Random Beer Thoughts

Anyone know if DirtWolf is still relatively fresh?

The bottles I've seen in MA are dated. Best by. On the label in small white type, if I recall. Damn good beer, for a couple months, even.

Remember how good / affordable Odonata Saison was for a short period of time? I had Irishgurl back on BA send that out by the 12 bottle shipper full at least 3 times while she our Bruery trustee, and at something like $3.99 a 750 it was an amazing steal.

I always wonder if the affordability of that beer is what did them in...

I remember the stacks of cases at Beer Rev after the sell off. Loved that ****, I should have bought even more of it than I did

She had a kid. It probably got bigger.

At the shop I run we have a request sheet for seasonal beer, wine, whatever and someone wrote this down last night.

My thought was, since a person knows of this beer, "Fuzzy Baby Ducks" how could they not know it is near impossible to find in New England let alone a shop in Highland, Michigan? They left a phone number I am tempted to call and tell then I just got a case to **** with them.

Sorry man, it all sold out just before you got here!

They sent me 5 cases, but it was a couple of hours too old so I sent it back, next week I will have more for sure.

the struggle is real.

I should have done this Saturday, instead of waiting in line for Fuzzy Baby Ducks for like 2.5 hours.

I'm now tempted to put out a request sheet for the humor it would provide me

That's thinking ahead.

Usually it is a lot of "KBS" Hopslam, BCBS, Zombie Dust and Dark lord for me. Always makes me chuckle. I had a guy come in once because I told him I had Bourbon Plead, when he arrived I said that I meant it was at my house, in my cellar. He was not a super happy camper.

Trolling customers seems like a great business model.

Being a dick, the City Beer Store business model.

Only works when its the ignorant few who don't come in frequently enough to matter. I.e. people calling around from cities 2 hours away looking for highly allocated/not distributed beer, also it makes working retail fun when you can **** with customers occasionally. Mostly I am super attentitve and kind to my customers, at least the ones I have built report with. I love my customers and most of them appreciate my service.

Observations after 2 hours at Stone Store in Pasadena.

Stone has some srs fanboys/girls.
I don't like Stone beers very much
The merchandise is ******* bollocks, IPA candle anyone?
People guzzle many growlers from them, they got good business going on for lunch on a Thursday.
The $55 stainless steel growler looks ****.
I should have left after one beer, instead I stayed for five.

Just opened the door to my cellar and was greeted by an interesting aroma of something tangy and vinous...

Something likely exploded. I didnt even bother turning the light on to investigate, just closed the door and hung my head. ******* ****. Fingers crossed its just my wife's wine or some ****** homebrew.

I've only met two people from Stone and they were really awesome (Mitch and Denise) but seeing "Fizzy yellow beer is for wussies" signs around bars, and people going absolute batshit crazy for them - like a dude at an event I was at just proclaiming "BEST ****** BREWERY OF ALL TIME. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW BEST BREWERY OF ALL TIME STONE ARE ******* THE ABSOLUTE BEST" makes it really hard to like the brand.

Still tho, would bang Go To on the reg.

I could eat/drink at the Stone Escondido beer garden for the rest of my life and be happy. Their kimchi was awesome. Drink by a small waterfall was also quite enjoyable.

They are actually useful when a customer wants a keg, case of wine, strange imported liqueur, etc. but occasionally they deliver some laughs I have gotten "Bourbon Batch 9000?" with a phone number by it, as well as Black Tuesday and stuff of that nature. I get about a dozen requests for "Pappy" a week. Just says "Pappy".
