    Because it's loud, annoying, and detracts from company, conversation, and beer. Also you can get craft beer and sports in PLENTY of bars. Buffalo Wild wings might have Sierra Nevada on!

    I hope ya kidding!

    I've had a pretty miserable sports life being a mets, jets, islanders and knicks fan. However, fhe future is bright!

    How is it at finback?

    Haha seriously? You can't have a conversation while watching sports? I do it all the time and have a absolutely fantastic time.

    God forbid people talked about something else besides beer at a beer bar. That conversation must be really boring. "Oh my god this is so juicy i might jizz myself", "I agree it really is juicy". Fifteen minutes later: "Did I mention how juicy it is?!"

    I don't trust people who don't like sports.

    Disagree here, I think it has more character than many, I would like the chocolate to be a bit more pronounced and Perhaps 15 is steep but I think it's pretty solid. The extra coffee version was incredible, so much coffee. To each his own though

    The 002 is also way way better than I ever expected. I liked 001 but this is crazy good

    So you can get 8 bottles without leaving your hospital bed? J/K. How's the logo change coming along?

    BA BQE on tap was too cold, if you let it warm for 5 minutes it was very nice and the flavor really came out. The non-BA coffee version was killer though I admit. Oscillation 002 was worth the trip even if you didn't care for the BQE. As good as most OH beers easily, and a 100% less dumpster smelly wait (not that I won't deal with that lol).

    Let me rephrase, BQE and the variants are good but not at the price point. I Support Finback so don't jump on me for not loving one thing they make. But you may just be sour about ANTEAD.

    you're sour about antead, more likely, many who didn't win are (even though I can't actually move even if I did win), but BQE is incredible, just need to let it warm up. I had it at EBF last year right after antead and I was blown away that I missed out on something that good that was local. I would say IMO, BQE is on the same level as the reg antead.

    Would love for Finback to bottle the coffee version, or try it on tap sometime.[/QUOTE]

    Finback was surprisingly easy. I got there at 1:30, waited 40 minutes. By 2:30-3:00, there was no line. They still have bottles and limits did not drop by the time I left.

    BA BQE and BQE xC are banging!

    Not sour about antead. happy I supported something local to me.

    also I have enough trade ammo ti score it eitherway.
