    Well you're pretty much everything I don't like about beer advocate. Not the site, the entire philosophy.

    maybe one of them turns into a BA due to one of the beers you had, that they drank, and they return the favor to you in the future.

    And you're the one who wants to serve revenge piss bottles to friends. Good call.

    OP, might suggest you change your avatar if you dont want to continue being misconstrued. You can be a selfless and decent BA all you want but Breitbart was a total douche.

    For me a good party is a gathering of maybe 8-12 people I know. The kind of party where you make smalltalk with strangers all night I've never gotten.

    I can understand the effort it takes to find good stuff, sucks, but what can one expect when people are wasted? When I gather with friends we do BYOB to share, usually a six pack or a couple bombers, but most like craft beer and understand the etiquette involved when drinking good beer.

    Naw. You can get your ass kicked for that shit. The thing is, if you throw a party and you keep your fridge on the deck of the party, you can be sure to expect your DoubleSunshine to get drank. Oklahoma huh? Figures.

    It kinda sounds like your friends don't fully share you interests. Either get different friends, ones you have more in common with, or embrace the ones you have and accept their different opinions. If I had to guess, I think you'll find your life will be more interesting with people you dont always agree with. They might drink all your hard to find IPAs but they'll entertain you a helluva lot more than friends who always agree with you.

    Selfish drunks! I would have kicked them in the nuts if they started shotgunning my Heady.

    This, precisely. Obviously you're friends and family feel comfortable enough to make themselves right at home at your crib, which is a GOOD thing, and makes for great parties. Plus, they were bombed... Kinda hard to blame them when you consider that combination. You should have stashed your stash somewhere far less accessible. That being said, if it happened to me I'd be bummed too. Sorry about your brews, man.

    Exactly. Crazy that a bunch of drunk people wouldn't bring enough beer. That's why I have a mini keg of Newcastle and Heineken at the ready at all times. $18.00 at BevMo

    I think I have about 3 beers in my cellar that are off limits as I'm saving them for really special occasions...The rest of my 100+ bottle cellar is always available. I do usually only have parties of 10 guest or less and I'm always happy to share and introduce the craft to new people. The other day, my wife's friend, a woman, came over to visit us for dinner. I asked her if she would like something to drink and she said sure. She couldn't decide whether she wanted a glass of wine or a beer so I suggested RR consecration cause of the fact that it's a beer aged in wine barrels. She loved it! That's what it is all about :slight_smile:

    I once had a party and a guy was drinking my last 2010 Black Tuesday out of the bottle. My only thought was that that guy was going to feel way worse then he thought he was going to feel the next day.
