    I feel yeah. We get all sorts of InBev stuff out here in Cali, the stuff just sits on the shelves. Like every store has all of their brews: Bud, Bud Light, Bud Lime, Bud Select, yet for some reason every time I showed up King Henry was gone.

    It baffles me how BA's can think an alcohol % makes a better beer, the Bruery goes out of the way to put out the ABV. Well how does it taste? Not saying you do, just the baffles made sense and many beers help it make sense.

    4chan does not approve your use of this meme.

    My post makes sense, why does ABV mean more than it should be a bigger factor than taste?

    My last sentence in my first reply to you was more like talking to myself. And as for 4chan you probably know where your "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?" statement came from. As for the answer to the question, I am still searching for answers maybe OJ knows.

    Wouldn't it be more appropriate to compare Black Tuesday to BA Dark Lord?

    Reading my quote again, it makes more sense each time I read it.

    Not all of California does. And I hate it because it tastes like a tire fire, not because of the sweetness. And I wouldn't be surprised if BT ended up being drier, actually.

    Also, there's actually no evidence that BT was ever hyped: http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/whats-the-deal-with-ann.30094/page-5#post-392055. That trendline is pretty much exactly flat.

    I'm not arguing, I'm just saying that it's not in the numbers. I find it surprising that hype wouldn't show up in the numbers, but you're right, I wasn't here.

    Why on earth would you so conclude? I attend a number of tastings on a regular basis; I put on large tastings myself periodically here in Southern California for personal groups and professional organizations throughout the Los Angeles area. I have also attended numerous tastings in Northern California. All in all, and while I'm nowhere near as active as some, I think I've got a pretty good handle on "whats happening" in California. You always have a few people that "hate" on anything. (I've concluded that some of it is real and some of it is just to draw attention to themselves or create controversy).

    However, I don't think I've ever heard a bad work about Dark Lord from just about anyone that participates in "the beer scene" here. (Admittedly I don't comb this site nor do I read every post and I'm sure that there are some California assholes...hey, I suspect some people think I'm one of them! But, truth be known, I've never heard anyone hate on Dark Lord - we love it out here and everyone I know seems to get a bottle every year to try. It is always very well received at any tasting I've ever been to and one of the first bottles gone. JMO but from a lot of personal observation.

    Wow. Just looked at the above graphs. I can't understand what the person says and I have no idea what it means but it sure looks impressive!
