Random Beer Thoughts

[trickytunadicky]

Jaminjohnson must be the black sheep of the St. Louis beer scene. He's the guy that just hands you a bottle of Abricot du Fermier out of the back of his car while you're shotgunning Busch cans with him.

Only if you use the pickaxe.

You folks seem to enjoy some good beer trading humor today, so right below the aforementioned St Louis trading debacle on my FB timeline is this gem that I'm sure will go over well here from the Vermont ISO/FT:
"Ft: I have lot of Foundation Epiphany and Afterglow, some Bissell Brothers Substance and a couple Maine Lunch, KBS and Foundation Forge. Epiphany is my new favorite beer.
ISO: Fresh tree house, Heady, Sos, double sunshine, second fiddle, Some Trillium stuff or possibly stuff around or above 4.4 avg on beer advocate"

Love that his palate has a distinct dividing line that correlates to BA scores. I'm sure his FT is totally going to get that done.

Gonzoillini's pickaxe was so ******* clutch that night.

I am sure he only meant the bros ratings.

It's kind of funny, the rest of his ISO:FT seems pretty reasonable (if possibly a bit hard to do due to overlap issues)...up until the bolded part.

I like how they actually went back and changed their Two-Hearted "The Bros" rating because it was so embarrassing (a 73, if I recall correctly).

Damn, Modern Times hit New York distro today. How did I not know this was coming?

Well not everything can be as amazing and turbid as Heady was last year.

Fortunate Islands is a serious contender for desert island beer for me. I would happily drown in those fermenters.

So before we get it in the East Bay? - awesome. I love distribution networks.

As far as I know it is a 1-week permit for all of the events this weekend, but this is second hand info from a bartender at Ginger Man, so who knows

The DeCicco's in Brewster is the one I go to occasionally. I checked their facebook page and it looks like they're having a tap night but no mention of getting cans or bottles.

Looks like you're right. So load up while you can.

I should become a beer reviewer and hound instagram for free porch bombs.

Why don't I use mine for that? I should get tips from dontdrinkbeer.

 

[ccbstl]

Exactly to both of these. It's a lose: lose on this one. The STL group couldn't just let that guy be the worst, they had to "out worst" him.

That guy has since come back a apologized a bit. St. Louisans tend to get defensive about stuff (I realize I am doing just that), mostly because the city gets **** on a lot. Sometimes it's called for, most of the time it isn't. There are profiteering ******** everywhere, the "STL traders are shitlords" thing is played out. Can't we all agree to just **** on Florida?

caveat emptor: the people usually clamoring to send you **** are usually like some obscure 7bbl 5 tap handle brewery outside of Birmingham that SWEARS their crystal laden IPA has the locals losing their **** more than trans-bathroom debates.

then you have a hot dilemma of:
1) accept something knowing you are likely gonna beat up on it OR
2) respectfully decline and look like a prick.


for every one of those boxes your cordially accept, dipshits will be like MAN U SOLD OUT, even if you **** that brewery up and provide exposure with an even hand. Because trading for ****** beer and panning it is more noble


wait what ******* forum am I in right now


how did i get here
