Random Beer Thoughts

[GhostOfGaspar]

Just purchased my 1st Huna Day ticket. Hope the hype is real

Hit me up when you come to town. I don't do Huna Day, but i like the shares all over town.

When a beer release is such a shitshow that they can't even serve beer at it.

The line just for Toppling Goliath's 4:30 opening time will be a bigger **** show than 99% of the beer festivals in the past few years.

Looking forward to reading about the drama.

And what prorating factor will be applied to trade values when it dumps 2 feet of snow at a balmy 4F in Iowa in January.

I felt that the cinnamon was a bit too much. It really overpowered all the othet flavors and I'm not a huge fan of it. It was good otherwise.

Thanks -- good to know. The guy at my store said they would likely only get a case or two of each, and I assume it might move fast. Then again, regular sits on shelves.

...$200 for 56 ounces of beer, two glasses, and a wood box? Jesus ******* christ.

Heh. Wood. Heh. Box.

I'm aware, I just can't believe how much spare change some people have. May as well ******* light money on fire for all the good it's doing you.

Also, I kind of assume there's a deep deep dirty secret in the beer community how much of this horseshit is being funded through credit card debt and very, very poor financial decisions.

It's a weird feeling to see people drain pour expensive beers down a sink that looks like it is in a shanty.

I know it's all about personal responsibility and whatever you can do whatever you want with your own money, but man... I think I'd concentrate more on things that mattered than flossin' on the internet drain pouring a proprietors.

Right? I joined brewery memberships that are cheaper than this - and I get a YEAR'S worth of great beer.

What kills me are the guys who do this who actually have a family. Hey, if you're single and lonely, go waste all that ******* money.

But how the **** are you going to justify spending fat stacks of cash on beer when you have childcare expenses, a mortgage, healthcare, and all the other expenditures that are required to maintain a family?

That's my suspicion too, especially with some of the people who are hard into lambic but not lawyers or bankers or something. I'm already cutting way back on what I buy after having a kid, and I was never even close to what some people spend.

Then again, I also routinely see people on /r/bayarea asking how anyone could POSSIBLY buy a house and raise a family around here on "only" two professional salaries, and wonder what in the **** they're doing with their money. So I guess this is just a universal problem.

I guess I'm skeptical about how many people are actually going into debt, rather than shitlording and raffling chances to buy raffle tickets to win waelzbro. Rare beer is like one giant ponzi scheme at this point.

At that point though the energy invested into that is still a huge expenditure - energy that, by all accounts, nobody with a family or any other important things shouldn't prioritize at all.

Oh absolutely. For me I could never justify the time and energy it would take.

Conspicuous consumption is totally limited to beer.

Think anyone in the line will want to buy a nice watch while they wait?

A horse may be interested in getting a closer look

Even buying beer is an ordeal for me these days. Seems like I really only buy beer as an addendum to a normal chore - like "I'm getting groceries, lets see what beer they have" or "I ate dinner near a bottleshop, maybe I'll pop in afterward".

The appeal just isn't there when you know you probably consume two, three pints tops every few days.

Is Decorah a very small town? Like smaller than a large college town (Penn State, Virginia Tech, etc)?

I picture it as being a little shanty in the middle of Iowa, and an event like this comparable to the movie 30 Days of Night. But instead of a horde of vampires descending on a small, sleepy town to wreak havoc, you will have a thousand drunk neckbeards taking over Decorah and making the city look like a giant homeless shelter.

 

[jeevo]

Also, someone should put together an order for t-shirts that contain nothing but Herbert Lukes' ugly mug on them with the caption, "Have you seen this man?"

Went to Total Wine because of a coupon I got for a free wine bottle, they had that vanilla hazelnut zhukov behind the counter. As someone who stopped hunting down these special releases this was a nice treat, plus a free bottle of some cab sav described as "concentrated, full bodied". Going to get saucy tonight baby.

It's 2016 and I just spent $12 on a dipa bomber.

I think I have more magnums of beer than actual friends.

What I could pretend wasn't that much beer spread out over a lot of shelving sure looks like a lot in one big pile.

That's what I paid for Jubel 2010 when it was released and thought it was a bit ridiculous. My how times have changed

Have you considered drawing faces on them an giving them names? You wouldn't feel so lonely when sitting in their presence.
