Side Project / Shared (2023)

Well I just took down flim flam this past weekend

 

Wait, they sold at $400 for a 375?

Yowza.

 

Don't care about the selling or whatever, but D17 is fantastic. Rich vanilla, the cognac is noticable but not overpowering and adds nicely to the overall flavor. Really well done beer.

Personally my favorite since D13, but it's splitting hairs as always with these beers.

 

Same...as well as SR-71, Continuance b3, Symmetry, Bananaversary, plus 20-30 other brews. I can and have taken down plenty of 750s by myself or with my partner, but a 375 in a single night would be more enjoyable so as to have a different brew and not get burnt out on the one, as often occurs with viscous ass fluids like that. I tend not to try to save beer for the next day. That said, I do think a sweet spot for shares would be 500ml, like Bottle Logic, but as has been mentioned, beggars can't be choosers. Just glad to see some some sort of change in approach to packaging. I can't put down the same volume that I used to...I'm getting old.

 

Yea I was semi kidding, I agree 500ml is the sweet spot

 

Might wanna get that checked out. That isn’t healthy.

 

Working on a lactose extractor as we speak.

 

So, WTF, am I missing something? As far as I know, D17 has no public sale, meaning it’s supposed to be “wrong” for LC members to sell bottles. Why aren’t people taking screenshots and sending these people’s names to SP? Get these fucking twats kicked out.

 

I think in most if not all cases members sell through a proxy. But if that’s not the case then it’s probably just a matter of time that they get found out and get the boot.

 

I enjoyed the idea that LC's high acceptance rate was fueled in part by the weeding out of resellers, but that may have been wishful thinking.

 

" General inquiries can be sent to [email protected] "

 

Yeah, that's the problem. The proxies are not members and they will most likely not rat out their source cause they're gettin paid too.

 

I mean, there is that one dude, MP, who does duck races for seemingly every big SP or HF release. Blatant, but been ongoing for awhile.

Question is, what’s worse: seeing people sell D17 or watching them tank its value in trade offers?

 

I hate this hobby sometimes.

 

I find that if I ration a 375mL bottle (12oz) into six 2oz vials, I can sell them for a lot more.

I sell a staged photo of the beer with a nice background so my customers can post to their IG & Untappd.

I use the profit to invest in more vials.

 

I live to trade down.

Some people just like to watch the whales burn.

 

so THAT’S the reason for the vial shortage on Amazon? And here I was thinking it was the bourbon-heads

 

Why so serious?
It’s not about money, it’s about sending a message….
