    I will be taking my 70 year old father with me at the butt crack of dawn whenever KBS comes in so i can get 2 four packs... so maybe i'm just as guilty as anyone. But atleast 6 of those will probably be shared with friends/deserving patrons at shenanigans.

    I have purchased cases of Pliny, Damnation, and Pig and have never felt bad about it.

    Dear lord. I'm not even going to touch this. I'll leave it to other BA's, but yes you are guilty especially because KBS is ho-hum. Also, life isn't fair, so this whole "taking away opportunity to buy" crap is just hippie BS to me.

    If I buy 10+ of something it is to drink it. I ain't a trader.

    I don't follow your logic. If the beer is on sale - it's ok to buy the entire stock. But if it's at full/regular price - it is not anymore?

    It's really up to the store/brewery, i never complain about limits (or lack thereof) and would venture to say most BAs who are purchasing multiplies will share, ship, hook up folks who will appreciate the beer.

    I get it; the love just doesn't get spread. And I understand the frustration if folks are buying rare things up just for trade bait, but how often do we really know that's what's happening?

    But I dunno… maybe they really fucking love it. Maybe they have a lot of plans coming up and want to share it with everyone they see. I don't see why it's necessarily their obligation that strangers get to try it instead of people whose company they enjoy.

    I still think buying 14 bottles is hella excessive, but if you're getting them at a good price it atleast gives you a little ground to stand on. Still , a dick move, because someone else could have gotten a good deal on it.

    And what if I have no choice but to buy a whole case at a time?

    ... if you're referring to 3 floyds that's really funny because they're probably one of my least favorite breweries now that i've seen through their bullshit. And i agree KBS is not the best beer ever concieved by any means, but i do have friends who are not fortunate enough to try it, as well as enjoying it as a rare treat.

    Edit* you really come off as an ass hat in every post i've seen you make so far, and i haven't been at these forums for long, pleasure to meet you bro.

    Wait for Total Wine special releases then. They're good about 1 bottle each; too good.

    Most of the dudes that buy cases, really, really like that beer and you can't blame them. I see it as a whole, the brewery puts out thousands of cases and they got one. Whoop-dee do. Its their money and you were too slow to get there, these are the facts. Gotta make time, its like anything else, it has to mean something to you, nowadays, really mean something to you, too, because there's a lot of people in line for the same thing.

    If you're walking out of the store explaining to yourself why it's totally cool that you bought so many bottles, then you bought too many bottles.

    my friend and I routinely share our awesome finds with each other. if I get 2 of a rare beer, he gets 1... every time.

    so yeah, those people DO exist. you need to find nicer people to hang with :slight_smile:
