Equilibrium Brewery

Oh?... I thought you said you see "zero wrong with it."

Not sure if I understand the frantic defense of this brewery that has obviously made some missteps. You can still like the beer and the brewery while acknowledging its shortcomings.

 

There is zero wrong with a ticket system if everyone is aware of the ticket system. Easy to fix to make that so.

And obviously you can criticize and still like the beer. I just did it about their tasting room. That's different than criticizing how they funded the brewery or who you get your ticket from. Petty nonsense.

 

"If everyone is aware of it"... which they clearly were not because the brewery has made a (relatively minor) mistake there, right? So there's not "zero wrong" with it lol.

 

I know this is hard for you, but there is zero wrong with a ticketing system. You can go back to my first post where I said it's an easy fix to make sure all are aware. Good thing he found this message board after the release to complain instead of proactively. Still, should have been made clear.

 

If there is nothing wrong with it, then they wouldn't have to fix it. Whether it be an easy fix or a complete frigging overhaul.

This is the problem when dealing with fanboys. Everything is pulling teeth.

Dude the brewery cranks out good beers but they are a relatively new brewery in a terrible location. This is not an insurmountable problem and these comments are not vicious or uncalled for condemnations.

 

There might be zero wrong with a (hypothetical, perfectly run) ticket system; but, given the context of the conversation, I thought we were discussing Equilibrium's ticket system which is run a certain way and has an obvious problem that you've acknowledged, right?

 

Sigh. My point is clear. Ticketing is good if everyone knows the rules. There is nothing off putting about having the system. It is easy to put signs to make it clear you need a ticket and blast on social media. Problem solved.

 

Yes, and nobody is complaining about the ticket system on a conceptual level. I don't know who you think you're arguing with. People are complaining about Equilibrium's ticket system, that has obvious issues that you've mentioned and then confusingly gone on to say that you see "zero" wrong with it.

 

" ticketing thing is an issue as seen on this thread. It’s off-putting and shouldn’t be happening."

then I must have completly misinterpreted this. Makes it sound like he is anti-ticketing system. We all agree it should be well advertised and then it is good.

 

Yes, I think everyone was pretty clearly referring to the issues with EQ's process of ticketing customers; not the practice of ticketing generally. He or she said "ticketing thing as seen on this thread"... I'm not sure how else they could have been more obvious about referring to Equilibrium's specific ticketing practices. I have no idea how "ticketing thing" [referring to the ticketing issue as it was brought up on literally the same page] and "in this thread" [... self-explanatory] could possibly be construed to mean that they were talking about ticketing generally, but I'm glad it got sorted out?

 

It "shouldn't be happening" sounds like the ticketing system itself. Yes, full transparency is best for all and a ticket system as such is a great way to handle the line. Sorry for the confusion.

Theres also a lot of dumbassery on the last page calling them a shitshow, butthurt over their funding and trashing then because they didn't create a style of beer.

 

you know the brewery is getting big when the BA thread is filled with posts about their business operation shortcomings.

 

Agreed...feels like Im in the Other Half thread

 

And like a shark smelling blood, here’s @dhaakon

 

It's laughable that one guy stands in the friendliest beer crowd and doesn't bother to ask about how the release works when he visits the brewery for the first time. He's not a rookie and is certainly able to communicate (to complain here and elsewhere) but doesn't bother to try to ask when he arrives at the location.

So what that he got his ticket a little late because he stood there cold and mute? He didn't miss out on cans and learned a valuable lesson to open his mouth next time to ask. I'm sure the brewery will try better to re-post the ticketing system in the future (since somebody took a constructive method and actually mentioned it directly to the brewery ) but they certainly run a great line system with limits adjusted to account for the line turnout. Some people just love to complain.

 

Drags girlfriend to wait in line for beer, never been to the brewery and doesn't do any research on the releases. Doesn't see a line formed to wait for said beer upon arrival, but doesn't think to inquire about why that is. Didn't that seem peculiar? I would have asked someone where the line ends at a minimum. Of course, I would never go to a can release at a brewery I've never been to to wait on line for beer and not do the research. They could absolutely do a better job advertising the tickets and they will, but man, this wasn't brain surgery to figure out.

Also, there were also 152 people in line at 10:15 and 165 at 11 AM. How many spots in line were really lost in this "fiasco"?

 

@NiceBeerCans and @IPAPolice - defenders of the realm and perpetuators of drama.

 

This is the shit im talking about. Someone comes here with legit criticism and you shit on him for not asking the guys pounding BA Stouts at 10am whats up? We get it, yall are nice friendly beer people, but the fact that youre blaming this dude for something THE BREWERY is responsible for is sad. Its not a great line system, if it relies on a bunch of drunk people to inform newcomers of policy.

Adjusting limits based on turnout is dumb as well. You dont give someone a medal for sitting in your parking lot the longest...

 

Lol, somebody has to give a true perspective to your frequently negative posts and mindnumbing complaints. Doubt you have even been there or it, at least, not frequently or recently. Stick to complaining about Other Half lines that you can't roll out of bed late for.

These particular posts do not reflect the current nicely run environment that exists at EQ. I know some people enjoy bashing breweries when then get too successful and it makes the threads longer but it is simply petty and unfair.

The brewery frequently provides free taste samples to the line before purchase, cooks and prepares free brisket allotments for people to eat, runs free magnum raffles in the past for people lined up and waiting for opening (most recently it was a paid raffle to help buy a new grill for somebody who makes breakfast sandwiches for the line), and has a bottle share in a designated area where they provided outdoor space heaters for the confort of their customers.

Who else does all of that?

 

Just pointing out that the guy with the issue a) took partial responsibility, b) posted in a totally even tone and c) hasn’t posted for a day, yet I wake up to you two ripping the shit out of him yet again. And I’m the one with the negative / mind numbing posts? Lol

Edit - though it is nice to see I have a fan in the OH thread that lurks and reads the great content I put out
