    Terrible scenario. Amusing one, though.

    I would say that unless you're a chemist/biologist, and studied GI's barrels, kegs, equipment, trucks, etc.(or Noel is) I'd say you and he are just as clueless as the rest of us, no? Unless GI specifically stated "The barrels were the cause." and you could actually find something that said "The barrels were 100% the cause." then any scenario is technically plausible. Even your terrible one above. :slight_smile:

    Nothing released states "It was 100% the barrels used." So we're all just speculating, and as someone said before... we all lose. Lol.

    Nah, the thread expands, and we all have something to pass our work days, so we all win!

    Kicking the keg or continuing to barade house because it clearly bothers him so? The answer is....LOTS to both.

    Sex with barrels aside, I got Noel's book for Christmas. I'm half way through right now. It is a really good read so far.

    I checked 1-3 times a week before asking staff, then on Thursday’s, the day Fulton said they updated weekly.

    When I returned from out of town afyter Christmas, both locations lists were a few weeks stale, but I see today Chicago locations are updated as of January 5th / 7th, so hopefully they will continue to keep things current in 2019.

    I’ve ticked a lot of GI beers, so I’m looking for a special, new offering or a seasonal favortite to plan a visit. Someone posted recently a staff or manager member told a BA poster at the Clybourn location it wasn’t a priority to update the site for current taps. Can’t see Aidan or most of the other staff saying that, but you never know.

    Anyway, I’ll circle back to their websites as well based on your suggestion. Thanks!

    Has anyone seen the big 750s of Budweiser Copper Lager that they Rar'd up by putting in a box and shiny gold foil on it? Saw a giant display of them at Meijer the other day for like $14 or $15 per. I laughed out loud.

    I saw those at Meijer as well. Right next to the Miller High Life limited edition holiday champagne style bottles. I went with the High Life...

    Those MHL champagne bottles are underrated - grabbed a couple for New Years when they went on sale for $2.

    NOT worth it. My lady hates the taste of BA beers.

    That joke is a slow burn. Well done.

    Are you sure the burn is from the joke and not the barrel sex?

    Speaking of burning though.. If you've got cash burning a hole in your pocket it seems Fulton brought out some 2008 BCBS bottles and a keg of triple barrel bcbs.
