    I wish breweries would stop with the online orders and ticketing, raffles, etc

    Always fucks up. Always annoying. Just distribute it and price it accordingly.

    I did the same and also never heard back. Didn’t get charged for one either. Oh well, need more glassware like a hole in the head.

    I think a lot of breweries would be SOL during the pandemic without being able to order online for curbside pickup.

    They never got back to me either and I am ok with that. I had a charge for $238 and it was refunded so I'm good with that outcome. Not going to try for anything else at this point since the experience was so horrible and it saves me having to make a trip into the city.

    Between antifa and angry half acre neckbeards running around the north side that's a smart call. :stuck_out_tongue:

    While I don't have the Benthic in hand yet, my saga of trying to acquire some seems to have finally just come to an end. I reached out to them via email as they requested of those who had problems ordering last week, and got a response from them yesterday with a personal link through which I supposedly could order.

    Guess what. It didn't work. Not at first anyway. And not the second time either. But I just tried it a third time and it miraculously allowed me to cough up $200 with gratuity for the 10 can package. Despite all the frustration, I'm still very much looking forward to this.

    I would just email them now and ask when they are doing a second sale for people that missed out

    are we to assume that some of these makeup sales are going to have to come out of the distro pile?

    I don't know the logistics of distribution, but I would assume they would be trying to make last week's issue right the best they can. Meaning, taking some of what would initially hit distro if needed. But again, I have no idea how those contracts actually work.

    This was my thought too. If I don't see it, life will move on. As good as Deth and Cafe have been, I've all but forgotten about not getting Prop Days or Binny's lottery. This will fade to the back of consciousness too if need be.

    Is it a matte finished wrap on the cans? matte finished cans all have that. Never drink directly outta any cans with a matte can wrap, it will seriously make yr lip tingle. Weird ass chemical that as far as I can tell, never goes away.
