    On second thought, I just can’t do it for one 500ml beer.

    I can deal with waiting in line. But I’m getting anxiety just thinking about the sweaty undesirables and opportunists that will plague said line.

    I still don't get why they did away with the lotto?

    I didnt ask for live updates and in past releases the boards are a good way to gauge the line and make a decision on whether its worth the drive or not...

    Well the hobos aren’t there yet, so place your blame elsewhere.

    They want to get on the news. They want a spectacle.

    I mean, it could be, it could also be they listened to the butthurt people on Facebook.

    I don't know, whatever the reason may be, I'm one less person who is drinking their beers goign forward because of it.

    Me neither, dude. I know they want to create hype and a total show, but it seems like they're fucking themselves in the long run. There is no good possible outcome for this weekend.

    I missed out on the Smores bottle lotto, but I would much rather have had a shot that way as opposed to wasting a Saturdya morning lining up at an absurd hour for one.

    Technically it was a ticket sale, but really it was a lotto

    Ha!

    Some beer connoisseurs, in a way, are like house flippers. You buy a house, not necessarily to live in it, but in hopes you can sell it for a profit to someone else.

    Same can be applied to beer.

    I'm not a fan when a house flipper and his mules buy an entire block of houses in a neighborhood.

    At least house flippers improve the product somewhat with renovations. What do beer flippers add? Aged in my cellar (room temp cubbard) original owner (shipped to Florida and back 3 times).

    Except house flippers actually put research, time, effort and money into a property and are ecstatic if they make 30 percent in profits while working within the confines of a host of regulations and laws.

    Beer flippers just get drunk in line, piss on lawns, post sale offers online, pack the beer, print and affix the label, and put a box out for FedEx to pick up. For 10 times what they paid. Skirting multiple laws and regulations.

    Apt comparison. :wink:
