Isn't that a different kind of deal though?

One was a buyout one was a territory "encroachment." They're not going to take more shelf space or business imo.

I bet they'd STFU if AB InBev gave them a boat load of cash so they could get into the craft pub biz.

Probably, I still just read it as a bunch of self righteous whining drivel.
But on another note, just a reminder that you have until noon tomorrow to get in on the BIF

Possibly. His posts definitely got deleted. He made a few disparaging "Aggie" remarks after the loss on the baseball board.


Wait. Seriously? Because he and I were going to do some beer shopping tomorrow so he could send his beer and I could take care of my stuff.

Seriously, he's good people, he just let school and work crop up and didn't express that well enough.

Although, getting exacerbated about losing to Vandy is s little ridiculous. Won't deny that. They're damn good and we're still in it. Hell, coming back from the losers bracket is how they beat us last year.

This is perfect for the paranoid craft beer drinker who thinks his craft beer drinking buddies are stealing his money.

And apparently I understated the insanity since I hadn't read their blog post. Only 550 bottles available. Goes on sale on Memorial Day at noon.

Man, doing this on a holiday weekend at noon allows people to basically get there as early as they want. I could seee the line being longer than the bottle limit before 10 AM. How early do you think you'd have to get there?

Probably depends on whether or not they let people sleep there.

Haha, very true. I'm sure I won't actually try it, because I sure as hell won't be getting there at daylight or whatever.

Also, JK suspending sales of Fantome Del Rey due to "ropiness"...

http://jesterkingbrewery.com/fantome-del-rey-ropiness
Also - they say to age already purchased bottles on their side (?), any reason for that? I only ask because it's contrary to the usual wisdom for beer aging.
Usually you'd want to have them straight up to minimize beer surface area in contact with oxygen. In JK's note about the Fantome del Rey they mentioned how they some times bottle in green bottles because they don't mind some of the lightstruck qualities that allows, even though it's an off-flavor in general. I guess it follows that maybe they also don't mind a more oxidized effect as well with some beers?

If I lived in Austin I would attempt this without a doubt. I'd consider making a day trip from Houston for it but I'd hate myself if I got there early and still missed out.

Waiting in line for beer is about #457 on the list of things I want to do on Memorial Day. It's right after going to a workshop where I'd learn to make artisinal tofu

Although being here in Colorado, there's no way I'd get my hands on anyhow don't think I would like it personally. Not a Gin fan.

I've tried to stay out of the Hickory bashing but come on man. Don't tell us you're going to get a perfectly worthy beer to send to Hub and keep it to yourself. Especially when you've been telling us your excuse for not sending it was because you don't have access to good/rare beer.

I have compiled all the inputs for the BIF contest and will be posting them shortly. tx2008, just saw that your guess is the same as someone else's. Could you shoot me another guess?
Thanks
