More Brewing Co. (StB) - (2018)

I just love all the clamor over the concept of "loyalty" for a place that's been open for less than one year.

 

Totally agree with you. The only thing I would say is some may feel loyal to Shaun from his days at RAM. I was at his S'more Luv Side Note release and would of killed to get tickets to this Henna release, but I'm not upset about it at all. If I get a chance to try this batch, it'll happen.

 

For a site called “Beer Advocate” how do people not have Bottleshare groups where 3 or 4 people got tickets? If you don’t get to drink this beer, it’s for lack of trying.

 

Being loyal to Shaun is one thing, but the same thing could be said for people that supported Ardmore for years, and way before More was around.

 

The new money does pit a strain on everything. Typically consists of people who on one hand state every beer they try sucks but on the other hand will try to sell you said "sucky" beer for 10-12x mark up.

I was referring to new money loyalty and it was directed mainly in regards to the Facebook complainers.

I get the loyalty for Shaun as he has been brewing up extremely great beers for a while and More Brewing would not have gotten off to such a hot start if it were not for his reputation and fans of his beers. However , the loyal following has become quite large and I feel large enough to the extent that you can't offer every one some sort of privilege or discount.

 

Anyone, want to go in with me on a new brewery? It's going to be called LëSS and we'll brew ba whalez. We'll sell them exclusively to out of state people, but we'll also put up fake lotteries that no one actually wins.

 

Love all these people complaining about "new money" in the beer scene when they've been on this site since 2016.

 

That already exists, it’s called Toppling Goliath.

 

Yeah, but we won't sell subpar contract cans to local markets. We'll put up photoshopped Instagrams of cans.

 

According to FB comments, isn't LëSS more or less MoRE?

 

Listen James Joyce, stop trying to confuse me with your words and.

 

Don't judge me by my current initiate status. I'm not like one of those 2016 newbies. I've been in the game since 12/2015. Old school!

 

Pfffft. Brewtella release or go home!

 

Total Bruce Wayne move.

Waiter: "The pool is for decoration....it isn't a matter of money"
Bruce Wayne: "I see. I'm buying this hotel and setting some new rules about use of the pool area".

 

Chicago beer jerks: “Wahhhh I’m a local I should get the beers!”

Also Chicago Beer jerks: “OMG I WON THE ASSASSIN LOTTO WHO WANTS TO CARPOOL TO IOWA?!?”

 

Yea, is it such a personal crisis to wait for the next release? It's not like we're a one brewery town. So weird the meltdowns thrown from FOMO when we are so spoiled with the variety of great beer and breweries in Chicago.

 

I've only had 1 or 2 of Shaun's beers and I won the lottery

Sue me!

 

That's an elite group, you and the other 20 guys that were there.

 

Sue you why? You were one of the lucky ones.

 

Perrin is going to put your theory to the test:

In the lunchtime hour he cried More, More, More

 

How is there not a bottle share forum/thread?!

 

I also wonder where the line is drawn for "local" since I see people as far away as Indiana calling themselves local... I mean I am 15 mins away from More but wouldn't consider myself a local.

 

I think you just came up with the perfect name for the next Mikerphone / More collaboration!

 

Right? I keep telling Shaun that those of us who were there should be entered into some sort of Reserve Society!

 

I’m sure there’s a weekly or monthly Bottleshare somewhere close to where you live. If not, start one

 

Eagerly waiting to see what a person has to give up in trade to obtain said Henna b3 bottle...

 

I'm sure it'll go 1:1 with VR, Prop 14 and anything else that hovers around the $200 secondary value mark.

 

Non-BA Chicago Whalezzzzz

 

That is what I am saying though should be a thread committed to bottle shares...

 

So start one?

 

Totally off the current topic but has anyone noticed something off with the latest crop of Dusty? About to drain pour a crawler of Mosaic Dry Hopped Dusty. Totally flat with a weird vinegar note. Purchased Thursday.

 

FT: Henna 3
ISO: VR

 

It was 33 people.

 

Not at all...I’ve had both ddh and mosaic multiple times since they were tapped. Mosaic is really good.

 

Really liked it on draft the day it came out. Bummer to hear that

 

I thought the Mosaic DH Dusty was probably the best IPA I'd had from More to date, maybe just behind Best Kept Secret.

 

Did your salad by any chance have an effervescent feel and tropical notes?
