Bought a 6-pack recently and one of the bottles was completely flat. Looking closely I noticed a bit of white residue around the top where the cap had been apparently not sealed well. I guess this kind of glitch must happen occasionally.

Scored huge today, I'll spare a picture because nobody even acknowledged my last one, but trust me... HUGE. Got lucky with some #rareshit.

in purchases very much in character i scored a bottle of enjoy by 4-20 :D i plan to drink it and then reuse the bottle forever
also on treeship's urging i grabbed a bottle of 61 minutes. it better be good or i'm coming for u bro

Surprised there's not some stupid beer name called #rareshit. Beer names are getting worse than '90s ska bands.

there are some points to be made about this but this article is not making them, i mean to step up and defend cigar city against entitled consumers after the shit i read about hunahpu's day 2014 is like o_0
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 20 March 2014 22:05 (ten years ago) link
^ what is this hunahpu's day business?
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Thursday, 20 March 2014 22:46 (ten years ago) link
i mean, what did you hear about it that isn't in the article
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Thursday, 20 March 2014 22:47 (ten years ago) link
well i'm of the mind that if you can't run an event, you shouldn't try. when there are like 3500 tickets and more than double that get in that's the organizer's fault.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 20 March 2014 23:03 (ten years ago) link
also don't make an arbitrary decision to sell one of your sought-after beers by the case (yes, 12 750ml bottles) to people who were randomly standing in the right place. the regular stuff had a limit of 3 and tons of people missed it, while the double-barrel variant was sold by the case to a bunch of people for no discernible reason.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 20 March 2014 23:07 (ten years ago) link
weird, that seems crazy. they clearly do not know how to handle an event like that
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Thursday, 20 March 2014 23:14 (ten years ago) link
i guess initially tickets were tied were tied to IDs and then ppl complained so they changed it. then their scanners weren't working so they said fuck it and just let people in.

I've been abstaining from beer for a couple weeks, not really Lent related but just to take a little break.I may be going to Duluth next week though, in which case I will certainly go to Fitger's as I always do, and the streak will end.

If you haven't already, drive over to Superior and hit up Thirsty Pagan, no slight to Fitgers but the TP stuff was maybe the best brewpub stuff I've ever had. No really.

Mentioned a bit upthread, but any recommendations for St. Louis? I'll be down there this weekend.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 21 March 2014 02:20 (ten years ago) link
Schflay, since you can't get it around here (yet, probably coming soon). Perennial, which you can get here, but maybe find some one off bombers down there. Side Project, which I'm not sure how you obtain, but it's one of the brewers from Perennial gypsy brewing barrel aged, barrel fermented beers. Highly rated. You can probably get them at the Perennial tasting room.
― Jeff, Friday, 21 March 2014 14:21 (ten years ago) link
yea schflay is a good place to go
― marcos, Friday, 21 March 2014 14:23 (ten years ago) link
True, looks like they botched it pretty bad. It's hard to pull off these one day things. Really they should just do like Founders with KBS. Sell tickets to get your allotment and spread it out over a week. No festival, just pick up your beer.
― Jeff, Friday, 21 March 2014 14:23 (ten years ago) link
Re: Duluth -- I can't vouch for the greatness of this place because I haven't been but it's run by a former bandmate of mine, and people I know have spoken highly of his stuff.

Keep seeing Bells Amber everywhere all of a sudden
― cog, Friday, 21 March 2014 15:21 (ten years ago) link
Should start seeing Oberon soon.
― Jeff, Friday, 21 March 2014 15:29 (ten years ago) link
I've been to Thirsty Pagan a couple times. I love their physical space, but oddly can't remember anything specific about their beers. Certainly worth a revisit.
And thanks for the tip on Borealis, will def look into that one.

had a pretty excellent orkney brewery skull splitter scotch ale today with lunch. I've only seen it mentioned by CAD iirc on here. it was good. I can't drink much beer anymore. I feel like my beer knowledge has faded away. Lots of sours and wheat beers and blonde ales and others don't sit well with me as age tightens it cold vise ever more tightly on me with each passing year. Fortunately I'm cool with scotch ales, which do sit ok with me.

so it turns out i'm perfectly located to hit up breweries here in sd. i went to green flash (literally across the street from my hotel) on Sunday, and Alesmith last night. gonna try to hit up Societe tnite and Pizza Port tmmrw. so much brewery goodness here!
― Mordy , Tuesday, 25 March 2014 16:15 (ten years ago) link
I did Jeff, trying for those most definitely. Thanks!
Talked to a guy at W@rehouse today and he confirmed the rumors, that Firestone Walker halved all of the deliveries of this year's special releases (they only got 6 bottles of Parabola and Sucaba, instead of the usual case).
― an enormous bolus of flatulence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 25 March 2014 16:20 (ten years ago) link
Er, spoke with him yesterday I mean, not today.
I managed to find a Sucaba but my guy at HP Binny's just shrugged when I asked about Parabola.
― dan m, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 16:22 (ten years ago) link
I had the day off Friday and happened to catch a store out in Lincolnwood update their Beermenus at 11:45 with Parabola. Called at 11:58 and he said all six bottles were gone already.
― an enormous bolus of flatulence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 25 March 2014 16:24 (ten years ago) link
damn, and it's not even like that stuff is cheap. i regularly see the parabola + sucaba's priced around philly for like ~$30!
― Mordy , Tuesday, 25 March 2014 16:25 (ten years ago) link
Not that I actually ever saw any in person, but the stores around here seemed to have it priced between $16.99 and $19.99 on their beer menus page.
― an enormous bolus of flatulence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 25 March 2014 16:26 (ten years ago) link
Yeah the Sucaba I got was $18.
― dan m, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 16:37 (ten years ago) link
Usually by the time it's posted on beermenus, it's too late.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 16:38 (ten years ago) link
Oh, I know. Hence the phone call first.

Found a cafe that currently has Sculpin on draft for $3 during their 4-hour happy hour, it's literally cheaper than buying a 6-pack, pretty stoked.
― JoeStork, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 17:02 (ten years ago) link
got a couple Stone Enjoy by 04-20-14. stoked because lol (_̅_̲̲̲̲̲̅̅̅̅̅̅̅(̅_̅_̲̅м̲̅a̲̅я̲̅l̲̅j̲u̲̅an̲̅a̲̅̅_̅_̅_̅()~~

did you enjoy any local greenery while in socal ?
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Tuesday, 25 March 2014 20:32 (ten years ago) link
not yet...
― Mordy , Tuesday, 25 March 2014 20:36 (ten years ago) link
Anyone think that Enjoy By 4.20.14 tastes a little off or did I get a bad bottle?
I had this kind of flat/sludgy/Elmer's Glue note to mine that didn't go away even after a few sips. I did have some smoky ribs not long before tho...
Also Parabola should be priced around $18. I remember when it was $12 T__T

Stone enjoy by 420 tastes like bubblegum -- the weed.
― dan m, Thursday, 27 March 2014 00:18 (ten years ago) link
Evil twin just showed up in mn, so I grabbed some Molotov cocktail and hipster, only had the Molotov so far and it's def good, but it's nowhere near what I've gotten out of mikkeller.
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Thursday, 27 March 2014 01:35 (ten years ago) link
Stone enjoy by 420 is pretty goddamn awesome imo. Might be my favorite yet.

picked up a single of BCBS 2013, finally gonna try it just to see what the fuss is about. It sounds like something I won't like, but at the same time I've never not liked something rated that highly.
