The Half-Acre thread (2018)

Im calculating 540 allotments of plain benthic. Is my math wrong? 135 cases X 12 bottles per case divided by three bottles equals 540....
so if thats right there could be enough for these nerds lining up and maybe also
the rest of us who plan to go at lunch hour?

 

That was me, and I take no pleasure in it.

 

If you’re saying SOL means no variants

 

Yep. And it is silly.

 

You were the numbering guy? You don't look anything like your avatar

 

Hoping regular lasts until the afternoon, as that’s all I really care for. The variants on draft at Big North were inferior to the normal version, which is already adjunct heavy.

 

any line for the taproom yet?

 

Honestly dude, I wasn’t trying to be condescending and I’m sorry if it came off that way. I was going for more of a motivational type of comment (maybe Tony Robins), because we all need that sometimes when we feel down and out. Not getting beer that you’re longing for sucks, but when push comes to shove, there are only a few options with which you’re left after not getting lucky with an online sale or lottery. We’re all on the same level here and I wasn’t talking down to @ChiPez66, and frankly, I didn’t even see his original post; just piggybacked on the post I quoted. Sorry

 

Goddamnit, no, I quoted the wrong person.

Perfect response though

 

I would love the job of mace guy

 

Sorry, your line number timed out. Please move to the end of the line. You are now #835. Also they are sold out now. Please enter the line again. You are #55.

 

If you strike out, a bottle of mine is yours.

 

I feel like I probably should've just waited for distro...Hopefully it's good to the people that don't enjoy freezing in line for hours.

 

You guys totally should have come to Balmoral. Got here at 5am, still no line. I'm totally going to circle back and get 4 or 5 allocations.

 

Ha, I'm 253, just quoted the number they were on when I posted

 

If anyone tries Cay Hut there, let us know how it is.

 

Got right into taproom. Only regular and DD on tap for now. Once DD kicks, DB will go on.

I think DD is better than regular. It’s actually smoother and more balanced to my taste.

Feel free to say hi to the guy in a Pipeworks t-shirt. That’s me.

 

This Benthic sale jacked up my normal plan of stopping by Fri over lunch to grab the sours...

 

Cool, grab a pour for me before it's gone. I'll be there around 7pm.

 

The actual FOMOs were in line before 9. I got here at 1045, looked at the line and went straight to the taproom. Waste of time to wait for bottles at that point when it’s on tap 15 feet away.
