    Beer at raves? I don't want to get those kids in trouble. Just illicit drugs and house music.

    Well thankye for the kind words. But lest we forget the charity and grace of Jeevo The Benevolent during the Second Hour of the Black Friday of 2015, whereupon "he struck out the serpents and sold his alotted bounty for only doubleprice to the Lessards of Caliente" -Book of James 6:66

    amen.

    I think HO1KB posted a pic a few weeks ago on instagram of Almanac Saison Brettaville for $20, so.. yea, that's a pretty nice price.

    I don't live down that way, so I have a slew of my own I'll keep locked away nice and tight.

    Well I can tell you that they definitely DON'T have it at GEMDH20WRX & even if they did, they wouldn't tell you.

    Also not at Robinson and they seem to have no clue what it is, or if/when they'll get it.

    Comedy of the commons going on around here, brother. But, really, there are so few people from the South Hills trying to get over to the east for beer that any +/- effect of route sharing is probably negligible.

    And, in the quest for efficiency, shouldn't we shorten GEMDH20WRX to GEMDWW? The "X" maybe looks cooler, but it's potentially confusing to Subaru owners. The other GEs could follow suit: GEMDSS, GEMDNH, GEMDSH, GEMDR, GEMDX (Market District Express), etc.

    Tried to call Waterworks MD twice. Have yet to have someone answer the phone once transferred to the beer department. They're on top of stuff over there.

    I feel like I am about to have a "Scanners" moment after reading that.

    Well you see, you have two separate registers for the department because of the taps and bottles but usually only 1 or 1/2 of a person working the department. The keys to success!

    $20.99, I believe. You're not the guy who complained about it on twitter, are you?

    I guess I could see how "GEMDH2OWRX" could come across as a wicked Tokyo Drift style precious-stone-encrusted wet Subaru.


    I've sat on the line for over 40 minutes. Just to see how long it would actually take.
    That being said, all the GE phone systems are terribly managed.
    I was at Shadyside last week and some woman at the opperator line was on the loud speaker, IRATELY demanding someone in the bakery to pick up the line.
