    I'm surprised those chairs don't get stolen if people leave them sitting out on the street overnight

    If anyone is a fast runner and wants to kick some chairs, meet at OH at 5:30 and wear a name tag saying “My Name Is Robert Paulson”

    Really strong wind gusts. I’m doubting chairs would stand up to it.

    The problem with the chairs is if Cam comes around with wristbands at say 3am and chair people aren’t there, they’re gonna bitch when they get cut come 9am.

    The Sixpoint small batch Master Blend beers were fantastic without any of the gimmicks.

    Double Barrel Master Blend was fantastic but that’s not on the shelves.

    True but the regular Master Blend they distro’d in cans is fantastic and $15 a four pack.

    to @Feaor ’s point about BCBS, family office / private equity-backed beer tastes only marginally better than the ABINBEV stuff

    I have only had the small batch ones, but aware of the nationally distributed version.

    +1 to that threes Nothing is Forever. Damn lovely stout and better than a lot of the sugar soakers OH puts forth. Also agreed that BCBS was underwhelming when I had it a few yrs ago, but currently have a 2019 sitting in my fridge not to be opened until later this yr. hoping patience pays off.

    there was someone in that FB group threatening a fight if their chair gets moved. I can’t wait to check in on this tomorrow am.

    the one pic I saw had people in the line as well
    this is legendary
    as much as I would love to see footage of a 3AM pastry/haze boi chair argument fight, we all know they won't. You can say whatever online, but when you are in person its oh hey okay yeah here is your spot!

    Actually I'm technically just barely a millennial by most cutoffs. That said, I can appreciate good music, and can appreciate good stouts. Don't get me wrong, if people like the sweet stouts more power to you. But personally I'd rather have some actual dessert rather than a stout with more sugar than Coke to hit that dopamine spot that assorted sweets provide, perhaps paired with a nice imperial non BA stout like even more Jesus. Saves me $28 and frostbite anyway. I get the inBev hate, but broadly having had these beers in the recent past I think they still hold up for what they are even if more people are doing BA_____ stouts... While I also would keep in mind they aren't ever going to hit the same buttons a pastry stout would. For the record if people aren't leaving their children/pets to starve go nuts on the $28 bottle. Hell on a recent trip I had a whole bottle of regular Abraxas to myself over a few hours for $30 or $35 at a bar just to finally try it (damn good). And to end the rambling I also agree bourbon Paradise is prairies best but I think while pricey their beers I've had always are good, keeping in mind whether you like some spice or rum barrels, etc.

    Line is almost at court. This is fucking mental. They said line life was dead. Why did it come back with such a vengeance this year. Mentally preparing myself for no 6th anni

    This is not line life, this is a whole other level of stuff that can’t be described. It’s got nothing to do with the actual beer, just an extreme level of need for people to get something hard to get.

    False; ABINBEV beer tastes way more predatory.
