Random Beer Thoughts

[cneville1]

It might be the only thing I miss about Facebook so far.

Well, that and the British group where everyone posts English breakfast pics and calls each other see you en tees.

are you off facebook?

Yeah, deactivated my account for an indefinite period of time (also Instagram and a few others - kept Twitter for news and sports). I actually have an idea of when and why I'll be back. It won't be any time soon.

Yeah, I can see how that previous post might have been confusing.

I was never confused about what Julian was getting at. I inferred he was giving up Facebook. After all, just a few weeks ago he announced his decision to quit a bunch of trading groups.

No, I was more amused that Julian needed to call attention to himself for getting name dropped by DDB. And then Julian went all in by contemplating about how this event, coupled with his disappearance from FB would cause would-be taggers from the N.C. beer scene to sit frozen in confusion.

I may be a jaded old ****, but that’s just the reality of the situation.

It was more because I knew it was happening from people sending me messages. Besides being accused of sending him beer just to get social media shout outs, I've apparently also been accused of

-deliberately trying to hurt the trade value
-deliberately trying to hurt the business

The first is kind of ridiculous given that I don't really trade any more other than sending beers back and forth with a few friends, and there's no logical reason I'd want to hurt the trade value of a brewery whose member club I'm in. The second is even weirder given that I'm personal friends with the owners. Although it is "interesting" to see how much motivation some people infer from me sending a random box of beers to a friend.

I just spotted this article and it blew my mind.

Who the **** is buying that much BrewDog?

It's huge in Europe. Fresh Punk is delicious.

Remember Chris Kline and the guy who boosted the rar lambic? The “when a man is” guy. Lol. Barely? Me too.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Also I've had two of Klien's beers and one of his meads, that stupid Unicorn Piss thing. None were good (the stout being the best), but they weren't as disastrous as I expected.

 

[trickytunadicky]

I don’t have to remeber Chris Klein. Every once in a while he drops a new hypeturd homebrew in one of my groups. The last one was racist af.

2 of the 4 smoke detectors we have in the house are in that recall, cool or something. Not.

Pretty relevant.

Evidently that has changed. Email went out to DC Society members today that they're getting their first Bruesicle today, available in crowlers, and that this will be a monthly occurrence.

Whelp....there ya have it. **** you stakem

Semi-rhetorical question based on the reaction mentioned earlier to the review of a beer I sent to DDB and me drinking and enjoying a different beer tonight from the same brewery: why is it so hard these days for so many beer drinkers (mostly outside of this site, it should be said) to say "yeah, I enjoyed beer X from brewery Y but beer Z was not good"? It feels like so much of the discourse around certain breweries (especially new/hyped/traded ones) descends into dumb factionalism of "fanboys" and "haters".

Stop wrecking my trade value.

Black Note is good, Pooltime is bad (at least in cans).

I will understand if you hold my Schramm's bottles hostage until you receive an apology.

I don’t understand any of this so I’m going to assume that Ostreicher from American Pie makes homebrew racist mead. He should do a cherry pie collab with Jason Biggs.

I'll give that Chris Klien guy credit: he's managed to monetize being a self-aggrandizing internet troll to the point where people with FOMO and too much money will actually pay him straight cash for his mediocre homebrews. Among internet beer geek grifts, it's quite successful.

I know I said it earlier, but..,

When 'Julian, Please' is no longer appropriate...

We have reached a new level. We have transcended Into a whole new plain of reality.

I got nothing.
The future is terrifying.

After some of the stuff I have seen you seek out and drink voluntarily? Julian, please.

Still need to set up another bad beer tasting. Have Crime of Passion and all the generic label Wakefield OGs bottles ready to go.
