    TG posted a recipe for making a chocolate cake with Assassin on social media today. It takes quite a bit of gall to charge people $50+ for a single bottle of beer and then suggest they make a f---ing cake out of it.

    Depends on whether I win the raffle and can find a mule who isn't asking for my extra bottle of Assassin, I guess.

    I'll make some jungle juice with Pappy and Macallan 25 year too.

    I got one from New Holland. They're making hand sanitizer now. $25 for 4 pack of 8 oz bottles, $33 for a gallon bottle. Those are Equilibrium prices!

    What’s the ABV on that? This site has taught me that a conversation on pricing must also include ABV

    I don’t want to be that guy but EQ is 33 for a half gallon so 33 for a full gallon and more abv is a steal

    Atwater in Detroit is charging $200/gallon for hand sanitizer. But they did give a lot of it to fire and police.

    No e-mail for me. Ohh well. No harm, no foul.

    No wait... I'm actually supposed to curse out TG and everything they do (pricing strategy, practices, etc), concoct some convoluted method that should have been used (which would have resulted in me winning), and then piss and moan about how that didn't take place and that I'll never buy any of their beers again.

    Ah yes, let's couple valid criticisms with invalid ones. You should run for public office!

    We're all just having fun and games during these crazy times. It's fun to joke about things in this hobby. No need to take that comment seriously.

    Don’t be too harsh on the guy. His cellar must not have been as deep as he thought. Stressful times.

    It performs in the same class as supercars 4-5 times the price so I definitely agree with you.
