Random Beer Thoughts

[hornydevil]

In the defense of collaborations, our wonderful Maryland government established new brewery laws very recently, including a stipulation that will make contract brewing (including collaborations) illegal, due to the new rule that breweries can only produce their own beer onsite, IE no outside breweries utilized or any ingredients from other breweries can be brought to said brewery. For no ******* reason whatsoever really. So you can hate on it all you want, but small brewers just got ****** here in MD because they can't have guest taps in there breweries or do any contract brewing at all, including collabs.

I used to think collabs were kind of dumb too, until that happened.

Haven't seen the law, but I'd guarantee that alternate proprietorships or "alt props" are still legal.

Doesn't Stillwater collaborate a lot? **** stupid pointless beer laws.

If it is some sort of specifically anti-Stillwater law, that is kinda fantastic. I don't give a **** about contract brewing. Making it illegal doesn't even crack the top 20 for dumb beer laws.

So, besides "not giving a **** about contract brewing", would you have any reasonable justification for it being illegal?

****, can't argue with you on that

I'd like to know how specifically the law is worded that bans collaborations, in the sense that the term is usually employed (I think of contract/gypsy brewing as something much different). Like, I can understand the "no outside ingredients part" or anything related to the beer being brewed at another location, but does it make it illegal for the brewery to put another brewery's name with theirs on the packaging or on their draft board, or for non-employees to be hanging out in the brew area while the beer is being brewed?

In World War I after the Battle of the Marne the cycling of troops from the front to the rear became standard to prevent psychosis and shell shock. Every rising palate investing in $37/slot raffles today will be a grizzled dortmunder drinker in three years, having witnessed the horrors of luxury consumables. The vets and greenest troops can still find solace in these beers.

Great stuff, this.

One of the stipulations of the law is that breweries won't be able to pour any outside beer in their facilities. The new Guiness brewery they are proposing to build in Maryland does not produce any actual Guinness stout or draught, they are doing "experimental" brews or whatever, so it doesn't make any sense that they can't even serve any ****** Guinness at a "Guinness" brewery.

They could, they just need a different license to do so.

If everybody is inside sampling chicken broth then who did the police talk to?

Story does not add up.

Cops to the chair line people right now:

This is reality? How long have the chairs been there?

I don't recall how long chair lines have been a thing there but they started canning in January 2016 and the chairs have been going on for a while now. Tired Hands eventually asked that no chairs be placed before NOON. Their weekday releases are 5pm. So the longest a chair would sit there would be five hours.

Chairs are not people, my friend.

So here's a hypothetical thought i've had about the whole tired hands chair thing. What if I were to go to the front of the line (or just somewhere really close to the front, let's say) and the groups of chairs in that area were empty, and I just kicked them sumbitches over and took that spot and waited like a "normal" person, would the beer geek universe implode because i just found a loophole?

it has happened before minus the "kicked them sumbitches" part. See this: https://www.talkbeer.com/community/threads/the-tired-hands-thread.13859/page-30#post-1303624

Earlier in this thread there was discussion of an episode where exactly that scenario took place. Apparently some neckbeard will call you a "cuck" for doing it.

 

[WhalezB4Rarez]

word is going around that the "police taking chairs" is "fake news". Or at least people are still sitting in chairs in line.

That has become the most annoyingly overused word of the year.

I think most of the people who call people "cucks" really have no idea what that word really means.

The "Last dance with Hairy Jane" joke has already been done.
