The Crooked Stave Cellar Reserve Thread

[DrLoveMD]

I spend about $2000 a year at CS... I do feel ******* entitled.

That's just my online invoice. Counting the number of times I go to the taproom/zwanze day/wwbv/ect you aren't the only local who's spent $2000 with Crooked Stave. Stop being so butt hurt.

 

[MordorMongo]

How about you read what I said in my previous posts... and yea, I spend about $2000 a year at CS... I do feel ******* entitled.

It is so vibrantly ******* refreshing to see someone admit their entitlement. And I 100% mean that. So ******* tired of people denying it.

I mean, you are still wrong as ****, but I respect your admission.

And before you blow up, you are wrong to be mad at Crooked Stave for making a business decision that only effected you because your friend got greedy. You had two years with no competition, they didn't **** you right out of the gate.

It was a happy moment at the bar today when I got the email saying I was selected to join. Wife and I hugged and high fived! Its a good beer day.

As well,

For all the good beer that Colorado has... and yes, we have a lot of good ******* beer. There is nothing that is really tradable outside of the random Avery BA release and Crooked Stave. That means if there is ever anything I want to trade for... I'm up **** creek without a damn paddle. That's also why it also pisses me off.

And yes, we are no longer friends. He was bumped down to solely an acquaintance.

You are a better man than me.

I'd burn his ******* house down probably.


At the very least I'd **** his wife or GF or mom or something for payback.


And he would DEFINITELY be getting copious amounts of unsolicited penis enhancement mail offers and extreme fetish magazines.


Oh, and I would sick both the Mormons AND 7th Day Adventists on his ass.

Here is where you and I differ. I'd be doing at least a three way with his wife/gf and mother. And his sister wouldn't be off limits either.

 

[Osyrus]

Same as it ever was. This happens with every new membership, every lottery, every lowering of bottle limits at a brewery, every decision to increase distribution. You'd think by now we'd be used to all the same rehashed arguments, or at least recall those arguments when making them.

 

[theothermatt]

Just to throw this out there... there will be some opening up that don't pay. I just found out I have a coworker that had 28 people signed up for the lottery to proxy for him. He made it through on four of them and is only going to use one.

That's another reason I'm not exactly happy.

If you go look at what CCB did with Catador... they rewarded the locals by selling on premise, and then appeased the non-locals by e-mail which made them sign up at an exact date, time, and actually put in some sort of effort instead of just signing up every Tom, Dick, and Harry they knew.

Ask him to let you ******* have one, duh!

... how do you feel about, oh, say.... essay contests?

 

[theothermatt]

No, as much as I want a membership. I have some sense of morality.

 

[johnnyramirez]

It just sounds like you want a reason to bitch.

 

[huckyourmeat]

No dude, he already told Crooked Stave to **** off. It'd be, like, really embarrassing for him to have to eat his words.

Plus, there's plenty of other good beer in Colorado. But he'll only be able to trade teh Avery's. So now he's stuck drinking only Colorado beer because he can't trade for stuff because he can't get the beer that he's entitled to in order to trade for better beer than he gets in Colorado but that's OK now because there's plenty of other good beer in Colorado and **** Crooked Stave even if he actually can get a membership now.

How the **** is that immoral? Dignity might be the word you're looking for, and still shouldn't apply. Go to bed.

No email, if anyone wants to set up something long term with a Bruery hoarder, feel free to hit me up. Willing to extra local Reubens to sweeten the pot.

Srs on both counts.

You are either confused or cannot comprehend sarcasm on the internet. Either way, good show.

 

[MordorMongo]

theothermatt, dude you have some serious ******** for friends and co-workers.

Also the dude winning 4/28 should really start playing real lotteries.

 

[user 305778]

I always feel terrible for locals who get shut out of stuff that can be traded.

Oh wait, no I don't. **** those guys.

Looks like come 2014 I'll finally be able to bring some quality beers to the table. We will be contributing more than spinach dip, crostinis, and shelf turds haha! Although I do have a fun one to open at the next share.

[ncaudle]

Is it bad that I knew you as 'the guy in Rochester with the crooked stave membership' ?

Aaron, did you forget I was talking to you about Michael at the recent Voodoo Barrel Room release?

(glad that a local friend got in via lottery and we're splitting the 2014 membership)

I don't remember much that I talked about that night I remember that delicious strangeways growler you opened, talking briefly about arsenal, forgetting to buy you a beer... again, and something really strange from Darkhorse you opened. (Did you open the WWBV too?)

 

[ncaudle]

ha, true, yes, yes, yes and (yes).
that Dark Horse brew was weird
