Random Beer Thoughts

I wouldn't go to such a bar, if such a bar existed.

See, you say that, but all I see nowadays at breweries is people taking (very poor) pictures of beer.

Maybe charge a quarter to light it up for a minute. You'll make ... hundreds!

This ain't art, bruh. This is people being social or trying to grow their e-peen. I don't really care if the photos are quality.

and in this day and age of beer, there would be a ******* line of people waiting to take pictures of beer. Bars want people to drink beer, not wait around for photo ops.

If that's the case, just charge hipsters more per beer.

I don't think hipsters are still a thing. Srs.

Come to Austin sometime, lol.

People that wear clothes that fit properly aren't hipsters.

I was going to say, go to brunch anywhere in Oakland. I was legitimately surprised that people still dressed like that.

How did the hipster burn his mouth?

Spoiler

He sipped his coffee before it was cool.

The word has lost meaning. "Hey, I see you at this brewery event, you hipster! We like the same things but I like them DIFFERENTLY than you, and you had the gall to put on real pants and a shirt with a collar!"

Spend a couple days in portland. You'll very quickly change your incorrect way of thinking.

All I need to do is walk down my block to see people who I think you all are referring to. They aren't hipsters, they're just urban dwellers under 40yo.

If I was in Portland for a few days that would be the last thing on my mind.

The barrel-aged imperial Breakfast of Champions for the upcoming Voodoo Barrel Room Collection release is called Imperial Breakfast Stout, or "IBS".

IBS and multiple BMs is typical most of the time my beer guys get together.

Before I look like a total ******* arguing with this guy online, can someone confirm that Black Damnation had a 2009 and a 2010 vintage?

Instead, I spent the afternoon at a bar in Queens drinking a vertical of rare, adjunct-packed anniversary beers from Stone, a California brewery that had just begun filling up the top 100.

This sounds terrible.

That guy needs to get punched in the dick.

One thing that annoys me (and probably only me) about these grand proclamations on beer culture based around the BA Top Beers list is that it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. They've ****** around with the formula for it multiple times (especially in terms of inputs: hads don't count oh wait now they do actually not anymore oh people are mad lets bring them back etc.), and it's not the same people rating beer over the whole time period either. Then there's inconsistencies in terms of what counts as retired, which beers get listed based on release year/vintage/etc and which don't, and so on. I guess it's a useful snapshot of what the site's user base is drinking (and rating highly) at some given point in time, but I don't really see it as some great time series instrument for studying the US beer scene like it's often presented to be.

Or Seattle. Hell, I get called a hipster regularly.

[Looks at self in mirror. Comb over, glasses, beard, flannel and skinny jeans] Shiiiiit.

Spoiler

I get the impression that "hipster" has become internet slang for "that guy with that thing that I don't like."

I've never been cool for a day in my life, but this one time a pickup truck full of rednecks catcalled my girlfriend, and then called me a "hipster p*ssy with the glasses."

So shrug.emoji
