The Bruery Announcements/Allocations

I think arguing that >10 tasters is too many is silly. If you plow through 10 tasters of the likes of BT/CR/M3 in 3 hours or whatever, you're going to be plenty wasted (or I am, at least).

On the other hand, if you drink some of the lighter stuff and dump tasters of beers you don't like, you can easily get through more than 10.

I doubt they chose 10 because they decided it was the optimal number to minimize drunken behavior. It's just a nice round figure.

 

Your inability to grasp that meeting your desire to try more beers has repercussions associated with it is astonishing.

Only topped by the fact that I quite clearly stated I both understand your desire and then state what some of those repercussions are and this fact still eludes you.

But yeah, sure, The Bruery has some shit to fix. Like the fact that jtmartino can't figure out how on earth he could try additional beers on a given day if he isn't provided additional tasters. I'm sure they'll move that right to the top of their priority list.

 

edited to delete additional jtmartino dig.

One, I suppose, is enough.

 

Are you serious? Of course I know the repercussions of increasing the taster limit. If you had read the thread, you would know that. So lets get this straight - I want the ability to buy more so I can try more beers. You are saying that increasing the limit has consequences.

So why the hell did you spend so much time falsely accusing me of criticizing the value of the event or wanting to get drunk?

I love this shit - some high and mighty asshole jumps into a thread and picks apart posts without reading the whole story.

 

Beer websites make me so mad.

It used to be so simple, pour beer into facehole and swallow.

 

Exactly. The rule for all beer events is to dump out anything you don't love. Lots of stuff that is good gets dumped. If you do that, you don't get wasted.

 

I do that all of the pizza port carlsbad events, even then I am lucky if I can stumble to the hotel. Might be do to the long time frame and ability to buy lots more tasters for cheap.

FTFY

 

But think of the consequences of The Bruery serving more than 10 samples! And all that responsibility to make sure people are capable of having 11+ pours...it's just too much.


How many did you have at the opening celebration last Friday? 30ish? I had ~25 and felt like it was a great event. I wasn't driving anywhere anytime soon, but I didn't get super drunk either. It was less about getting drunk and more about trying great beers. Frustrating when your favorite brewery has 20 beers on tap you want to try, and you're limited to only half of them.

I thought The Bruery would love to sell more tasters, maybe 1/2 way through the event. It's more money in their pocket for beers they were going to pour anyways.

 

what'd you change?

I had 33. Of which I finished maybe 5. Which is why I left slightly tipsy instead of passed out in a trash can.

 

Man, I hope there is an octagon at the RS/HS initiation party so all this can be worked out. At least an arm wrestling tournament can be organized so we can see whose arguments are correct. Winner gets one of the losers taster tickets!!

 

I'd fight Patrick Rue.


For Beer.

 

ISO: CHERRY CR
FT: 2 taster tickets

Just throwing it out there now...

 

I've never met you, but I've seen Patrick Rue. I'd bet on you.

 

Anybody else notice the vintage date on Sour in the rye with Peaches. I'm stoked for this.

 

Holy crap a bottle with a date on it.
