Random Beer Thoughts

I am going to wait for JulianB to keep us all informed on the matter

You're going to be waiting a while, as I'm actually not sure what he's talking about. Did you just happen to miss my post above? Whatever it is hasn't floated into my now beer-group-depleted feed.

Wow, I can maybe shed a dim light on this despite being in virtually zero FB groups lol!

wiltznucs didn't you win last year?

Also going to take a wild guess that the resident shitlord is BlumBeer

Well if y'all are going to cheat maybe it's time North Coast got a win. Everyone loves old Rasputin right?

Now this is the high quality drama I signed up for

It's silly that I'm even bothering to catch up on a thread when I'm 3238 messages back, but I have some kind of OCD so silly as it may be, I'm still going for it. All while I'm still catching up on SF and now Catalina 5 or whatever... Anyway...

Typically, no, they don't have lines. Let's keep fingers crossed it stays that way.

But a few months ago, they made a beer for Run the Jewels when the group was here for a few shows. Since RTJ is super popular, there was a line.

They just re-released it but also with a fancy new glass:



So there was a line for those as well. Was to be expected. Glasses are sold out. Had a feeling they wouldn't last but was hoping maybe they would, so I could grab one for my pal. Oh well. At least she got to try the beer.

nathanmiller -- I hope you got this for all the obvious reasons.

No!! Believe it or not, I missed this and it is one of my life's greatest regrets! I wish I had this teku. It's an amaaaazing teku. I adore RTJ. And the beer was great too...

This was cooler when I was rigging the internet polls for "whats ur FAVORITE POKEMON" on my Geocities website back in 1998.

A major shot across the bow...for what? Winning best new brewery at a Huna Day is the equivalent of winning a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award.

 

[FoudreGuy]

Why do people care so much to win? Do they get anything out of it? I don’t understand internet dick wagging.

Bragging rights for the brewery.
Trade value for the consumers

I'd like to know what the first thing was he knew he "could count on you" for. I believe that's the real tea here.

It has to be because I don't give a **** about huna day or weak shots across the bow from "can't know its me" Mead homies.

There's a ******* app for a ******* beer festival?

At least 2 I go to put out apps with maps and taplists.

Was this voting thing really a secret? I feel like multiple places do this every year. Also, it’s the entire business modelmofmUntappd and Yelp.

Voting through an app for best brewery at a beer festival is dumb.

Trying to rally neckbeards in private conversations to stuff the ballot box as a "shot across the bow" is even dumber.

How much do breweries really care about trade value? If I owned a brewery I'd do everything in my power to **** over the people who are trying to **** me over in the secondary market. Probably a good thing I don't own a brewery.

I'm curious...how are people who buy a beer ******* over the brewery in the secondary market?

If a high trade value sells my products out via huge lines paying premium prices..... Im for that, if I owned a brewery.

It hypes up their stuff. Look at how much some sad some breweries try to hype their stuff on a daily basis.

Huna Day falls on my birthday every once in a while (or every 6 years) and it happens to be this year.

I'm glad I had a sip of it at Beer Camp last year instead of ever flying down for that. Or trying to trade for it.

Meh to a T.

Huna itself is not the reason to go to Huna day.

Not even in the slightest.

It's best not to travel below the 35 N latitude for any beer events.

I dread them opening up shop in Seattle for this very reason.

Dropping some beers and premium malt beverages at my beer locker before we make the move to Kona.
