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

I'd buy Sean Hill and Jean Van Roy and move them to NYC

 

I'd start livin' the dream, instead of dreamin' the life.

 

This!

On the crazy side, I'd give Jean Van Roy several million to get expansion going already, start my own distribution company with Cantillon as my only client, call it NOT SHELTON BROTHERS and distribute Cantillon to as many states as is legal.

 

I like the idea of making my house a gaint beer tap. Just have like 2-3 taps on the wall in each room amd then hire my own seal team 6 to go into the mines where they keep founders barrel aged beer and just take it. Ill leave them a mil cash and a note that says sorry for taking your beer...truth be told im not sorry but i had to put that to seem less a-holeish

 

Start my own microbrewery while still enjoying the beer i love now. And by enjoy i mean hoarding bottles upon bottles of craft in my massive beer cellar.

 

Buy a giant beer cellar. And fill it. Then Go to ccb and offer them a ton of money for all the ba huna.

 

Id buy a lifetime supply of Siberian Night, GLBC Lake Erie Monster/Christmas Ale/Eddy Fitz, and kegs upon kegs of Four Friends 3C IPA. All of these are things I can readily grab here in NC (after making a few calls of course).

 

I'd buy all the beer I could and take it to the people of OK City & it's Burbs right now. They could really use a drink (for starters)

 

I wouldn't have a beer budget anymore.

 

Id bring a team of mules to every over hyped beer release....then drain pour that shit...just to be a baller

 

Open a bar.

I'd finally start homebrewing too, but given my inexperience with it, a brewpub would be out of the question. But I'd love to create a place where I had the say in everything from the ambience of a place to the beers on tap. And not having to worry about its financial success would allow me to keep things priced fairly and pay my employees what they deserve. It'd be a win-win for everybody!

 

You could always just do what Perrin did and buy their brewer, no seal team or thievery required.

 

Brewery/brewpub!!!

 

Second home in Munich...and maybe a hefty investment into Augustiner.

 

move to Belgium ASAP

 

First I would upgrade all my home brew equipment. I would pay for brewing courses at one of the major accredited brewing schools. I'd then probably head over to my local brewery Tired Hands and see about some kind of financial partnership (which would obviously include me sitting in and picking up brewing tips) and lastly I would buy all those beers that I always considered too expensive. Visiting breweries/traveling is just a given.

 

I would sue enBev just to be a dick

 

Start a brewpub.

 

Beer Robot, i don't know exactly what that means, but it would involve beer and robots

 

Aside from setting mine and my families affairs in order forever:

Donate large sums to small scale, highly coveted brewers (e.g FFF, RR) on the condition that they must expand to nationwide distribution.

Plus hire them some top notch quality control people so the brands don't go to shit.
