So if YOU had won the lottery, what would you do related to beer?

I would start a brewpub with a production brewery. I'd also jet around the country visiting bottle shops to get my fix of BCS.

 

Holy shit - man, would I buy a lot of beer - and a beer cellar to store it, and a house to store the beer cellar, and property to store the house, and a new car to transport me to and from the beer stores and my house and... you get the idea - lol

...oh, and I'd hire personal trainers and chefs to offset the huge spike in caloric intake!

 

Airlift good beer to natural disaster sites and establish a Pretty Things Chair in Weird History at Harvard.

 

I would try to buy a special private batch of CCB barrel aged beer for myself like Bern's did for Legacy. After that I would travel around the world hitting up special releases and going to beer centric destinations. Everything couldn't be all beer all the time since i would want my health to last so I could enjoy my winnings so I would try to combine these trips with my athletic interests like climbing and surfing.

 

I would send minions to buy Heady and Pliny. Maybe not just the beer, maybe the breweries.

 

Someone at CERN would be under my pay conducting studies on the Never Fading Hop.

 

I fix World Hunger... well.. not all the way, but I'd make sure people weren't thirsty as a start.

 

Move to Vermont

 

First I would build my dream house equipped with anything and everything beer related(ridiculous temp controlled cellar and separate fermentation room, insane tap system, brew setup, just the works). Then down the road maybe brewery probably like everyone else on this site will say lol.

 

I would buy more beer, and install an IPA beer/water fountain in the kitchen.

 

Open a bottle shop. Literally. I'd walk in, stop, look around and exclaim, "I can buy all this beer!"

 

I would either start a local brewpub with brewery on site or start a new distro center that served only the small craft community in order to get everyone's name to everyone around the country.

 

Still thinking about this - lol -

I'd buy Russian River Brewing and Three Floyds (and other great brewers I get nothing from) and Founders and Firestone Walker and about a half-dozen others and change nothing except for the fact that I would do whatever it takes to increase their distribution - making me a beer hero: I'd be a beer-o! lol

*fires confetti cannons*

 

I would try to buy Goose Island back from Inbev.

 

I would also open a brewery ran by little kids. Instead of cash, I would pay them one bottle per hour, and a growler for overtime. Just think what their little imaginations would come up with? Cotton Candy Imperial IPA's, or Chocolate Pudding Stouts.

 

buy my dad all the 90 min and theobroma he could ever want



then buy a swimming pool and fill it with Abyss

 

definitely do some no budget needed beer traveling
