Everything Jester King

Thanks Jeff, as always, really appreciate the play by play you give us. It is really appreciated.

 

Thanks. So don't shake it up, right?

 

okay... now I have to hope this makes it to other specs besides the hoarding one...

 

What Spec's hoards beer?

 

He's probably implying Downtown I guess

 

Smith Street.

They often do not share with the others stores. They are the sole decider for who gets what from what I've heard from other stores.

For some beers I get it. For others they should send out, but they don't.

 

My RS discount price was $17 per bottle, the price at the Bruery Provisions is $20 each for Tart of Darkness.

 

Any of you guys looking to trade a Das Wunderking or Whiskey rodeo?

I have quite a few good Californian beers such as Parabola, Sucaba, 16th anniversary and others

 

Ah, I get it. I mean, that's their flagship location, and I'd say it makes sense to have all of a small-allotment product in one central location everyone knows about instead of the random wild goose chase around the city.

 

Not everyone can drive to midtown for beer in the afternoon. If you can't, you miss out on most releases.

 

Craft beer is about the hunt, isn't it?

 

And here I thought it was enjoying good beers, not missing out on good beer.

 

I was at Hopfields tonight and saw they had a couple of bottles of Funk Metal. They were pricing it at $28 a bottle I believe.

 

goddamn.

 

Did it come with a reach around? That's nucking futs!

 

$28!?!?! Is this Hopfields mark-up? If thats the case, I'm done filling my growlers there. Ridiculous.

 

No big deal, it's a rookie mistake. Big timers don't enjoy beer, they just trade (like baseball cards) and ask how much their bottle is worth in the trade forums.

 

You joke, but I honestly believe there are some bottles that have passed through a bunch of people's hands, only to be traded out over and over again. At some point someone has to drink some of that King Henry and Rare, right!?

 

I drink everything I get in trades. Uber rare or not.

 

You're right, KH and Rare are great and need to stop being *****d around. KH is not a barleywine though, just it's own unique style IMO.
