    Surprised he's going to wait in line at Binny's and not tap into his own stash at Jewel.

    He will have done that prior to waiting in line at LP. :wink:

    I'm with Sean on this one. "Hey honey, I don't spend enough time with the kids or outdoors so I was wondering if it would be cool if I took them camping on Wednesday night?" Quality time is quality time. They'll look back on this moment in 30 years and be glad you had a drinking problem. :grinning:

    Word. Every Black Friday my in-laws are kind enough to babysit while the wife and I go beer hunting. :rolling_eyes:

    My grandfather gave me Miller Lite when I was like 3, and I hated it.


    If he had given me Bourbon County I'm pretty sure I'd have been a drunk by middle school.


    All those sober, wasted years...

    Dude, my wife's favorite beer? Uncle Jacob's! That will tell you something about her.

    No doubt. For me it was Rhinelander and Pabst.

    Yikes, suddenly the $80 I was more than happy to pay for Rare at Prop Day seems like a steal.

    Smart Guy,
    With more and more people getting into beer every year, and the amount made much less this year. Going to jewel at 12am with hopes of double dipping at LP ain't worth the risk. this works out better for me. I was planing to go to lp at 4am just in case. now that a 1000 people will be a Jewel fighting to get 100 Allotments at the most , I just need to stroll in to LP binny's at 6:55,about the same time 950 people at Jewel are complaining about the 100 or so people that just cut in front of them. I'll get a better vintage too.

    What's really a shame is that there isn't any other good beer easily available in this city.

    just rumors, larger foot print, Barrels getting dumped due to infections, 2 variants not being released therefore less space to age the current year release .Binny's is also getting less allocations than last year. They also dipped hard into the rare cellar for no foreseeable reason.
