    What happened to the pics in this thread with the dude in the top left corner wearing his sisters pink shorts?

    Damn, sick burn. That's what you get for not wearing cargo shorts, a sports team jersey and boating sunglasses.

    Are Trustafarians still a Yankee thing?

    That is a possibility. Let's be honest; If you've seen what the OP is referring to, they can't all be beer writers. Can they?

    because there's so much to write about that sweet one ounce pour you sipped from your dirty glass.

    Their money to do with it what they will.

    Personally I'd prefer 2 really good six packs of a great beer for the same price as a bomber of some whale.

    I don't think I have ever had a whale before. Is there a whale list somewhere?

    I'm only partially kidding about the list...

    Who cares, don't hate, work trades until you can get something like that. I buy a few limited releases at a time, I enjoy one and usually age the rest for trades. I have enough to keep myself in Heady for a good long while and that satisfies me. Am I jealous of people landing whalez, hell yes, but I get some of them and I miss out on a lot of them.

    I say if you have the means and resources, then by all means enjoy the finer things in life!! However if some people are really drinking several whalez each and every night (especially if they're high abv) I'd hate to be their liver or health insurance provider :slight_smile:

    Applaud them. When some guy pours a beer down the drain and brags about it on the drain pour thread ... thats when i lose all respect. Drain pouring is not meant for real beer lovers. I'm sorry. It pisses me off. I've been drinking for 20 years and haven't had an "infected" beer. I guess I'm just weird. Or lucky? No ...

    I don't care what people drink just stop spelling whales with a "z". It makes everyone look stupid.

    A whale a day is what I say. Promotes proper liver function.

    With maybe one or two exceptions in the sour beer category, I only open whalez if I'm with company who will appreciate it. Why the brett would I want to open some rare thing just to brag about drinking it all by myself when I can share the experience with friends? As long as I still get some of it to taste, I get way more satisfaction from sharing the wealth. Besides, as I've said before, I'll take a relatively unknown brewery's barrel-aged or limited release stuff over a whale any day of the week.

    And yes, I used brett in place of an expletive. *sunglasses* Deal with it.

    Bragging about a drain pour is weird, but so is drinking a beer you hate when your fridge is full of beers you love and your sink has a perfectly good drain. But I consider myself a real beer lover, and there have been a few drain pours in my past. It makes me sad to pour money down the drain, but less sad than forcing myself to drink a beer I hate would make me feel, so sometimes it's the lesser of two evils.

    Simple term that's ruined craft beer. "Trade Value"
