Toppling Goliath in Chicago (2018)

I'd freak because you DIDN'T pour into a glass.

 

Anyone else see this? Looks like a shitshow in the making, Maybe trying to give LP Binnys on Black Friday a run for their money.

 

Line cutters gonna' get sliced....

 

It's nice that they'll have something available for the people that didn't win tickets, but man is that line going to be long and absurd! I was hoping to be able to go into the taproom after bottle pick up and just get normal drinks while checking out the place, but this makes that seem less realistic. I'll just have to check it out some other time.

 

I don't understand this at all, unless it turns out to be something like signed Florida Sue cans specifically to troll the ones up front.

TG is so far beyond needing to supplement this event with additional hype, so why incentive the worst of the chitlords? Why not announce what it is and ask for a $10 charity donation upon entrance to be included in raffle. Or do a silent release of it / in house only consumption.

Or literally any other option that's not: the first ones in line win the best prize.

In before it's their company they can do what they want.

 

plot twist: 128 people get large rocks that they may use to attack the winning thousand, armed only with their assassin bottles

 

This is completely unnecessary. Wait 6 hours in line before it opens or wait 6 hours after the tap room opens? Even if the thought crossed my mind about making the drive, this is a deal breaker. Real fucking cool TG.

 

And by “chitlords” you mean Chicago-shitlords...

 

Worse, it's cans of Florida Assassin...

 

So...rum barrel?

 

Dang these cans of Pompeii are great. I drank my last can of Bright last night and IMO Pompeii is a way better Mosiac IPA. Also, Im a Pipeworks fanboy and i prefer this over Lizard King. Again, only my opinion as I realize others have different palates.

 

Hot take: Bright sux so not really a benchmark.

Disclosure: I love Tree House but Bright is their worst "hoppy" beer. (edit: IMO)

 

eureka blows too

 

Agreed.

 

Bright with Nelson
Bright with citra

-different stories

 

Exactly how I feel

 

Bright is probably their least 'NE IPA' tasting beer in their PA/IPA/DIPA line up. Actually, I don't think it tastes like an NE IPA much at all. Although not among my favorites, I still like it though. It's a nice change of pace. Reminds me more of an old school DIPA.
