That is going to be a shitshow on a level clearly yet seen for any public event in the history of beer. If anyone was ever murdered over beer, this would be the time and place. I am seriously considering flying out to see the pandemonium first hand. "Chance tickets" will be sold for hundreds of dollars. Then, once you get a winning ticket, you will have to pay 2 grand for the bottle. Anyone want to take me up on that bet?

how would you even go about selling, say, 1k scratchoffs when at least 10 times that will be crashing the amazingly tech savy hotd website? it only took them 13 years to clearly look like it was 1997, they upgraded to a sleek 2004 design. im sure this will be a flawless event.

so basically, come to the brewery, wait in line, have a lotto to see who gets to come to the dinner where we raffle off the right to buy a scratch off.
flawless victory

There is no way this will be done online. It will most likely be in-person rafflols

brb spending 240 on fred ftw, growler of workhorse ipa from laurelwood, and a growler of laughingdog alphadog
then stopping at belmont for stakems
brb $300 lighter

all complete, struck out on the laughing dog alphadog, got sn porter instead
also bottle of redemption and damnation, bottle of alpha centauri binary iPA and bottle of ace of spades

clearly spending any more on beer for at least a few days

what prompted you to desire the laughing dog?

local place had it on tap, and since we have exactly one place worth a shit it went fast.

i had a black ipa by them that was kinda just.. umm eh?
and the only other thing i had by them was the dogfather which was a horrific infected mess that comparatively speaking made the worst '09 abyss seem awesome

ive had one good and one horrible -bal dog father. dogzilla (cipa or w/e) was indeed ok, nothing great. ive had their cream ale, and while most cream ales are like drinking candy beer i though it was good. ive also had alphadog before, i remember it being clearly too bad and wanted to try it again.

i also have to continually fill my growler to recoup the cost of the growler!

i would just like to go on the record that bourbon fred from the wood 2012 is magic in a bottle

I decided to crack open a bottle that made it home safe with me from my trip to Florida

Cigar City - Homefront IPA: An ipa brewed with spices and aged on maple baseball bats. It tastes like lenny dykstra's taint. Why would they think this was a good idea?

Ignoring this cuz of jealousy.

founders breakfast stout on tap at local beer store

Orgasm.

This years Octoberfest by Sam Adams, nb.

total bull shit

Same shit as last year, only earlier...wonderful.

I tip my hat to Selinsgrove brewery for clearly only making the best pumpkin ale ive ever had but for also refusing to release it until Halloween

ON NITRO IS OFC

My only complaint about this is that it forces you to drink it there. Which also means I cant take growlers home to enjoy on Thanksgiving. Its probably for the best that way, it makes it last longer.

I'm fine with it. I keep wishing their winter ale was available year round.

My outer banks vacation comes to a close. 215 miles till home. I am officially sick of traveling for the year. The flight to florida 2 weeks ago had me spoiled. This 8 hours of driving is painful with a 1 year old.

Anyway. Beer highlights of the outer banks consisted of Outer Banks Brewing Station Barrel Aged Sour Ale, IPA and porter. I sampled all of their other offerings but those 3 are worth talking about.

@Dan
Meetup at Als Sunday for the DuClaw party? Meet at my house at 10:30?

Depends if I meet the dr after going to beer stop tomorrow, also we need to discuss my driving back from CO and stops and etc if you are interested in anything

Whats the draw to the beer stop again? The founders backstage brews?
CBS and Better Half are ofc. The Frangelic mountain brown is pretty horrible.

Dern, and nugget on tap but im clearly too fussed about it

Was the nugget nectar from 2 years ago

No, it was bad. Like, Fuck

So let me see if I got this right.
Guy who owns beer shop gets in fresh (somewhat limited) hoppy beers in January/February.
Said guy holds on to them for 6 months in order to hold an anniversary party of "stupid" proportions by unveiling a new draft option at his store and starts pouring 6 month old hoppy beers.

come join us for Imagine night, were we serve beers that allow you to imagine what they should have tasted like

Dan actually just 100% verified my poop.. lol
got a text from him saying the hopslam was from January
Considering Nugget Nectar is a seasonal that is now out of season can only mean that at best it is from March but more realistically probably December-February.

that seems like such a horrible business move. sacrifice future business for a night of false hope...

in the future, please remind me never to buy another Mikkeller product ever

Prices up, bottle formats made ever smaller. And to add insult to injury the quality of the brews is getting worse. Half way through my pour, pieces of gelatin plopped/splashed into my glass. So of the whole what??? 8oz that the size of this nip bottle was, 2oz of it was fucking gelatin? Wonderful.

im with you, while i thought beer geek breafast was good the black holes either sucked or were clearly great or worth the money. and the singe hop ipas that ive tried were never fresh.

beer geek breakfast is indeed good. beer geek brunch is even better (and that is what irritates me the most is that because i like these brews, i am anxious to give his new shit a try.)

but what a dick move to decided to age these in different types of barrels, place them in nip sized bottles and then charge even more than the base version in a larger format bottle...

and as a side note, yes the black hole brews are fucking bad

the "black" beers though are tolerable but at retarded prices. I think the only reason the black beers are more tolerable than the holes are because the alcohol is jacked up even higher and it completely numbs your face after the first sip

im just glad i got to try the whiskey one, nothing like peat mixed into my paper thin stout

did yours also include the optional band-aids and plastic?

it was the worst non-infected beer ive ever tasted. the fact they even sold that beer is one of the reason i basically never give them my money. no one at the brewery could have thought this beer was acceptable.

Hopslam bottles could legitly of JUST come in from shangys since he was bitching about it. Nugget I think he bought to have when taps came out, but like yeah...the taps just got put in and sitting on it for 6 months....nope

Shangy's is notorious for being turds and only putting a case or 2 on the floor to appear that you are the lucky person who purchased their "only case." I dont think he pulls that same shit when it comes to providing stock for other retailers.

Dear Dan,
Pliz go to bed so we can go on our beer date tomorrow.
