New to Ohio (2016)

Now we just wait to see what comprimises will be made....I am hearing the House may want a couple changes. Either way, it looks quite promising.

 

Wouldn't this ultimately have to be signed into law by the Governor as well? Considering his recent comments regarding young women protecting themselves from abuse by "staying away from parties with alcohol", I can envision getting his signature as a potential roadblock. Even though he has been somewhat supportive of loosening restrictions around beer, wine and spirits sales in the past.

 

It would, yes, but I guess the idea being it's *less* likely because 1) it's part of the distillery bill and 2) it will have been passed by a very Republican legislature.

Who knows with Kasich, but it helps to have Faber on "our" side.

 

Hopefully I'm just being overly cynical. I just feel like the proposal is so filled with (what should be considered) common sense that something will come along and muck it all up.

 

Yep those limits still hold. Might change the regular limit Sat depending on turnout. I expect this one to be bigger than most but not as crazy as the barrel aged release. We have about 470 regular. We'll have maybe 1200+ Canis if all goes well.

 

Looks like Premium is upping their game, Bell's Hopsolution has landed in Cincy that was bottled last week.

 

Toledo has it as well

 

Saw the new Beer Camp mix at Kroger this morning for $30

 

...$30?

 

When you decide to collaborate with 30 breweries on 6 beers, I guess you gotta do what you can to get em paid. I've never really been blown away by any of the past variety packs and really just get them for the novelty. Passing on this year. Plus, six brewers per beer sounds like a few too many cooks in the kitchen.

 

Trillium and Lawson's in on a Sierra Nevada collab?! I'm in! Sierra Nevada brought in some amazing brewers for this variety pack and they got it here super fresh this time too.

 

Sorry. I'm not spending $30 on a 12 pack of beer. I'd rather spend it on 2 bombers.

 

I see

I see what you did there

 

Not giving you a hard time. This just made me chuckle a little because of the irony in that there has been a long and drawn out cry on BA about how bombers are a rip off compared to sixers and such due to the oz/cost ratio. I get both arguments. One offers more output per dollar. Another allows the chance to try something in smaller portions in the event you don't like it and brewers often experiment more in bomber format. Full disclosure, I find myself buying way more bombers than six packs.

However, let's do the math here. That 12 pack of beer will offer 144 oz. for $30. Let's even be generous and say you snag 3 bombers at $10/each. For the same money, you are getting 66 oz. of beer. The guy that bought that 12 pack gets 78 oz. more of liquid joy AND twice the variety assuming you bought 3 different bombers.

Just an interesting spin that could be put out there in argument of your comment. Not that I'm arguing against it, but if I were...

EDIT: In the event you were being tongue in cheek, please disregard haha.

 

I really just think a 'Sarcasm' font would solve this issue. I think he was being facetious on the matter.

 

Started to get that impression the more I looked at things. Oh well. Now we have a solid baseline to rekindle the bomber vs. sixer argument. Let's wreck some shit!

 

What makes the $30 SN purchase even worse is that you are only getting six different beers in it. I would maybe bite if it was a mixed twelve pack like it was last time I got it a few years back but it's not worth it at all IMO. Plus, how can you honestly collaborate on one beer with upwards of seven breweries? Did one pick the hops, one pick the malt, one pick the water profile, etc? Seems kind of silly.
