    Point?
    Why is it of any concern to you?
    I got to drink them today at cycle. Would you like me to rate them tomorrow? Next month? Last week? Why would be best for you?

    Because I'm sure you are trying to get your hands on a set of these bottles your trying to shit on them so you can get them for less... I get it dude.

    If you can't see the irony of you "correcting" someone calling out Floridians for over valuing beer...I can't help you.

    value is different in the eye of each person. What it would take to get these bottles from me would be more than it would take to get a dbh, or similar beer. I think these are far superior to almost anything we can get in Florida. With the exception of 3 sons.

    And my point being that Mexican cake variants are also "over valued" to many people.

    Also, while showing my wife this interwebs hilarity, she wanted to know when I contacted you for any help in this matter?

    I personally wouldn't question @Lare453. Quality BA who has been around a long time. Never met and never traded with, but he has been part of the FL BA community for quite some time and has contributed plenty.

    Not to sidetrack, but the anniversary celebration is still alive and well. Killer BA stouts on tap. In between stouts I am sharing HF Saisons, Casey East Bank and some other shit by the back bar if you want to come have a pour and say hi.

    I promise nobody's bottle's value wil decrease.

    Lare, Lare, Lare...
    Obviously you haven't received this latest update "Rules and Regulations for FL Folks Rating and Reviewing Beers v2.4"
    I apologize, someone from FL or Chicago should have contacted you regarding these pertinent and important rules, I will do my best to summarize the important details.

    All Floridians must wait a minimum of 3 weeks, 2 days, 19.5 hours, and 37 seconds from initial consumption of stated beer before entering any online reviews. Once you are ready to review you must use the following formula:
    Brewery's rating X the beers current +/-rAvg factored by your overall +/- rDev divided by hYpe*

    You must adhere to this formula and these rules otherwise folks will consider us as "overvaluing" and trying to "win". These offenses are serious, as is all matter of beer reviewing and beer discussion that occurs online.

    In addition, these rules only apply to beers that have bottles that are available to be traded with others online. If you are rating a beer that has no trade value, no one apparently cares, and you can rate them however you feel is necessary. However, if bottles do become available on the open market prior reviews become null and void.

    Hopefully, this helps and clears things up for everyone.

    *There is a separate formula for hYpe, but as a fellow Floridian I will assume you have this.

    hYpe follows the WhalezBro theorem: ∆bottle count³ + (distro/pp limit)π ÷ the sq ft of the brewery [smaller the better here] × how much you paid in gas to get there + (f(x): if living in FL multiply by two/if in Chicago multiply by five) + √{wax top}²

    I'm working on a list of regional traders who overvalue and hype their beer. So far I've got:

    Florida (obviously)
    Chicago/Illinois
    Iowa
    California
    Indiana
    Texas
    the Mid-West
    the West
    People who trade Mexican Cake
    People who trade Side Project
    People who trade beers I can't get

    It's a work in progress. I'm certain there are others massively overvaluing their shitty regional beers. As far as my research shows at this point, New England is in the clear since every IPA brewed north of New York is the best IPA ever brewed, and Shaun Hill is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ (He will reveal himself when the time is right).

    Internet reading comprehension can't be that bad here, can it? No one cares when a beer is rated, I was simply correcting someone who said it was rated 3 months ago. Thanks for wasting 30 minutes typing that up though - very entertaining !

    Looks like they had more than 12 BA beers to put up. Some of these were not up on the wall during the release yesterday.
