    Ugh, yes. If people are going through 6 times and there are smaller limits, they aren't going to get as much without investing a lot more time....thus smaller limits would be helpful....

    Lol. Whatever. With that logic getting any beer is easy.... No Morning Delight is really easy to get hold of, I don't know what you guys are talking about. I just stand outside of the event with a couple thousand dollar bills and leave with a case..pfff.

    I think he's saying that your idea of easy to get being that you happen to have friends who got you it, doesn't really equate to being easy to get for everyone.

    Ahhhh gotcha. Totally understand that. It was definitely easy for me and I got lucky this time but that's definitely not the case all the time. Wish it was but unfortunately it's not.

    I do and it's great. Something wrong with having friends send you beer?

    Not at all. I have a good friend in Chicago who takes care of me all the time, and I do the same for him. My brother has lived in CO for 15+ years now. We swap stuff all the time. I have several repeat traders on here and we watch out for stuff for each other all the time. All of these arrangements are for drinking, not flipping. It's great, and it's wonderful to have family and friends that get into it like I do.

    That doesn't necessarily make something easy to get or imply that they should be able to. I have multiple friends in Chicago. None of them could get off work to get Benthic in time. It depends on people's profession (or lack of one in some instances). Obviously many on here have flexible careers that allow for working from a bar and drinking during the day. That would get my ass fired. So It goes. It's great you got friends to hook you up, but kinda getting on others that they couldn't because of work probably doesn't sit well with some.

    BTW, feel free to send this lowly FIB some Java BA Ten Fidy and/or some BA River North Stouts since I'm sure they are easy to get. I'm totally cereal.

    I will only add that I'm ashamed of myself when I go to make a simple response and it becomes a dissertation. Forgive me all:rolling_eyes::worried:

    @JakeT469 I'd highly recommend trading with @flat_lander! Both of you are super solid dudes. Ask him for some Triptych, I think you will really like it!

    No worries man. All of my other friends had to work as well. However, one of my friends moms lives right by the Jewel there and is a regular at HA. She headed over at open and snagged some bottles and drank some beer in the taproom.

    Totally agree on just about all points there. I was debating on going up to Longmont for the Java release but had a dentist appointment and decided against it. I also try not to go too far out of my way for OB beers anyway. Not a huge fan of the River North BA beers either. Just a personal preference. Also, if my statement(s) didn't sit well with others, I could give 2 fucks. That is all.

    Actually just got some Tryptych cans from another friend this week. Haven't drank them yet but looking forward to it. I'll definitely keep @flat_lander in mind for sure. Sorry to hijack, carry on...

    Thanks for the plug @77apm !

    On a HA related note. I'm pretty excited about my bottle of Orin. Thoughts on this year's bottling from anyone?

    “It’s so easy to get bottles, brah. Just send your friend’s mom out!”

    I love that you can't read and understand posts for shit. Who sent their friends mom out?? Are you a another whiny little BA that couldn't get bottles? It was definitely easy for me and I got lucky at the same time. My friends mom who got the bottles probably drinks more Half Acre beer than any other nerd on this butt hurt forum. I don't have to explain myself to you or any other fool on here but my friends mom is the definition of a true BA. Glad I could stir the pot with a bunch of sensitive BA'ers here.
