    Why is it a crime to have 2 similar post in a forum? I dont see why stuff gets deleted so much.

    It is really irritating to be participating in a thread to see it vanish because 2 weeks ago, the same discussion took place, buried in a forum.

    Righteous. Support your stores! While I was getting my Parabola there yesterday (along with a Mint Truffle Ab and the Sierra Nevada IPA mix 12er) I saw two other customers grab their Parabola and hit the register. It's dicky when stores require customers to make an additional purchase to get an allocated product, but it's good beer karma to buy additional product....

    Not if you normally shop at said store, but if you only shop their for special releases, I whole heartedly agree.

    With respect to the DG Binny's, the buyer mentioned that by the time the tweet went out, half of the allotment had already been sold. So there were only about 10 bottles left for sale after the tweet.

    I'm curious how many people were in line this morning in Naperville. The problem with a timed release of a such a limited quantity is about 90% of those in line will walk away empty handed (assuming, of course, that a lot of people line up early in the cold).
