The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

[DakotaRules]

I think it is very expensive, $85 for sixpack. I would maybe buy one or two bottles, one to drink and one to store. I can't justify paying that much for a six pack of beer. I could see it as a donation to charity as every six pack is for a brick for the Abbey. Still I see this as Paul said, it cheapens their morals, that's the way I see it. People have made that pilgrimage for years to say they've drank the beer and drank the beer on their terms.

 

[Cape Brewing]

So suddenly they're struck by the philanthropy stick? Why didn't they brew more to give to charity five years ago?

Do you have even the slightest idea what they are actually using the money for?

 

[Cape Brewing]

It "cheapens the beer" because they did a limited release, meaning a small number of huge beer nerds can, for once in about ten years, actually go into a store and buy a six pack.... So they can raise funds to build/improve thier abbey??

You guys are fckin retarded.

 

[nhwrecker]

OMG! We're talking about beer on this thread? Better not let PTN find out.

Can't wait for the Catholics to start brewing behind the pulpit. Bet that would get Jesus down from his cross.

 

[Cape Brewing]

It's like saying Pliney the Elder doesn't taste good anymore because Vinnie got caught using RR profits on hookers. Who the fck cares where the money is going?? The beer tastes the same, it is consistantly mentioned as one of the best beers on the planet, and these guys are now knocking it because the brewers are selling a little more of it in the States on a limited basis???

Wow.

Sorry... You lost me on that one.

 

[the_bird]

I hadn't been paying a lot of attention to the release, since I have my own source for this beer now. But since they're selling more beer because the abbey needs repairs... that's exactly the reason that the monks make beer in the first place. I don't think they view their purpose in life is to brew the greatest beer known to mankind; selling beer is a means to an end, so fine - they need money, if I see Westy 12 in the store I'll give them my damn money!

How do you think he got the infection that gave him the inspiration to do sour beers?

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Cheapens? All I know is a good quad six pack is going to keep me warm tailgating this Sunday night at Gillette (j/k). Let's hope for snow (n/k)!

Julio's had a sweet belgian beer tasting along with the release. Never had De Molen's.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Ok... Good. It sounds like we are all in total agreement then... PTN and Dakota are retahded for their ridiculous "it cheapens the beer" nonsense.

Fixed that for you

LOL.. I love how much mileage we're getting out of "relevant facts" and "parity"

Hey Rick,
Tell everyone how you stuck your hand in the garbage disposal and tried blaming it on your dog.

This is for PTN

You're a very strange man. Very farkin' strange indeed.

When bogironbeers all taste average, does that make cape a victim of parity?

What in the world makes you think they'll be average?


Have you ever HAD one of Cape's beers? Average is a good goal.

 

[ArcticBear]

has anyone up in mass found that westvleteren XII stuff? apparently it wasn't released to any stores here in CT... i was looking for a few sets of it as gifts for friends but haven't been able to locate it anywhere...

 

[paulthenurse]

Nope. I felt so bad I had a Bud Lite as a substitute.

My packie, Redstone Liquors in Stoneham was selling them. They started selling them at 5pm. There was a line at 1pm for them. I passed.

Minor point of correction:
Monks ORIGINALLY brewed beer because of the fasting during Lent...when their diets were severely restricted, as well as an alternative to unsafe drinking water...here's one link to more info: http://www.st-stefanus.com/en/history

now i suspect they brew it for money as well as FUN! after all, that's why I brew(fun-don't think I could sell it...)

 

[nhwrecker]

Wow. An Egyptian Historian. PTN, you're going global!

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

This can't be good.

 

[paulthenurse]

Just what I need. A few million more adoring fans. And smelly Egyptian ones to boot. Great!

 

[Mirabotz]

Hey! I ain't smelly! (not even Egyptian) - just needed something fun and beer related to distract me from the Demonstrations down the block - this thread is amusing,

 

[paulthenurse]

Do you actually get to brew in Egypt or do the
rules of Islam prohibit that? I'm curious about the availability of beer or other alcohol in the area. I'd like to go and dive in the Red Sea someday. (Not until we'll after the current unrest has died down). But if I can't have a beer after the dive I ain't goin'

Great just what we need. Ptn being a cultural attaché in the Middle East.......

Jihad in... 5... 4... 3...

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Yea. They thought they had problems before. I'm picturing something from Ghostbusters where the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man terrorizes mankind.

 

[paulthenurse]

Yeager, are you F'ing serious? You think that you're worldly and well traveled because you got your Disney Passport fully stamped. "Around the World" means more than buying a beer in Canada Land, (And no, we don't want to hear about how you and Leeann played "Around the World" with a bushel of cucumbers and a quart of Mazola.)

And the Cape is the only guy in the history of the world who goes overseas for a semester of college and never left the campus. He's a seasoned world traveller , that one is.
