    The plus side is you are only out one bottle. I can't get any Pliny here, but speaking of jacked: I had some Firestone Walker Double Jack on tap last night , and it was amazing. Is Pliny that much better? Not being sarcastic - just curious.

    Awesome avatar! You can tell my first favorite game of all time from mine, but yours' is my second. :slight_smile: To keep this beer related - I've never seen Pliny with no limit, but I only find it at stores that are uber beer geek paradises.

    I gave Double Jack a 4.43 rating vs 4.22 for Pliny.

    No worries, my last few responses have been a bit rude to a few people on here so my apologies around as well.

    No worries bro. I figured you might have gotten confused. Seattle's a pretty tolerant place, at least compared to a lot of other areas.
    I think we'd all better try to stay on topic from here on out.:slight_smile:

    If you played the part of a pussy, and didnt speak up, you deserve to get jacked.

    Yea I know that guy, I told him to pick me up 15 bottles of Pliny and do whatever it takes to get em, especially cut in front of a fellow beer geek.

    Joke.

    Anyway, just be happy you live in an area that has that beer.

    "Man i hate how there's it's such a pain in the ass to get Pliny, everyone is a jerk about it and buys it all up. I only want to buy a case to share with my friends."

    I still dont understand why shooting him in the face with a large gun isnt an option. or smashing a bottle of Pliny on his head.

    Heh, I was thinking this too.

    I had the pleasure of waiting in line with some folks for some heady topper today and as I watched two folks who had traveled a long ways for the Lawson's release each buy two cases, I just smiled knowing there was more behind the counter :stuck_out_tongue:

    As for the OP, yeah, you COULD have made a stink, or even mentioned it nicely/politely, but sometimes it's just not worth the effort haha. Also, never know how the douche bag who had to cut in front of you is going to react to your polite comment

    Hopefully you will be rewarded next time with as many pliny as your heart desires haha

    If I brewed my own beer, which I plan on doing, I'd make a beer called Walken Wheat. Any ideas on how to make the beer more "Walken"?

    Looking at his username, the visual I'm getting from his comment is a bearded dude in a pair of skinny jeans who just kicked the kickstand down from his bicycle.

    god -- RUSSIAN RIVER and WHOLE FOODS are handling this horribly. the brewery either needs to up production or quit selling it in certain locations or through certain retailers.

    for at least the past couple years it has been a joke, one or two weasels at each whole foods buy their whole supply every week. why is whole foods bothering with 2 cases at a time, that sell out to the same little group of weasels every week and then they have an empty spot on their shelf 6 out of 7 days of the week. they are not making that much money on the two cases.

    i literally saw a napa whole foods employee show up delivering two cases of pliny. that was it, she left work on the clock and drover her own vehicle to a distributor or... the brewery?..... and got two cases that were gone in 24 hours, sold out to the same weasels that buy them every week.

    So I walk in to Whole Foods today, see there's no PtE in the beer isle. Knowing today is their RRBC delivery or shipment day, I go over to the cheese counter where they hide them in the back and see some loser asking the clerk if they have it.

    Clerk - Yes, How many.
    Loser - There is no limit correct?

    Before she answers, I shove my basket at her and say give me 15. The bigger shocker was that she did it, and didn't finish his transaction first...oh well.

    Clerk - How many was that for you?
    Loser - Five.

    She comes back with 4 and says all out. :wink:

    Just messin with ya. Could be worse, you could have to wait for your friend who lives in San Diego to come home to PA (which he does maybe once or twice a year) to bring you 2 or 3.
