    Dear Beer Advocates,

    I'm sorry for suggesting that someone should have given away any of their Heady Topper bounty to people behind them in line. It was wrong of me to suggest such blasphemy. I, too, have been guilty of buying a case of beer in my lifetime, though I don't recall it ever being the last case. That being said, again, I'm sorry for suggesting that someone might have bad beer karma; I'm sorry for even posting anything that can be construed as negativity about people's endless search for cases upon cases of Heady Topper. It's a foolish way to have spent my time. I accept any Beer Advocate punishment I receive.

    Apologies,
    Matt

    If I take a day and drive four or five hours round trip, with the expenses incurred by said trip, I would like to get as much as I could of whatever brought me there. Those behind me could have gotten there earlier, or might even live there and can get it anytime. Not that this excuses being a pig about it.

    If you're paying for it then buy what you want and what you can. We work hard for our money and should be able to spend it as we want. But if you get somewhere and it's all gone, don't bitch about it. That's life. Quit whining people.

    Although...I do have heart, and if the person behind me in line came up from a long distance and there was only one case left and I was to buy it, I'd surely give him or her a 4 pack to purchase and leave minus one. Sometimes being nice just feels good. But the person that goes and bitches about my beer Karma online and calls me a prick for not giving anything to the other people in line, I can't stand you and would never hook you up. Simple as that

    Love the use of smiley faces amongst beer friends. Get a room.

    Talk about how "being nice feels good" except for the person "who bitches about beer karma." Stop. I made a comment about how someone bragged about getting the last 20 of a beer when the person immediately behind them struck out. Guess I should have applauded them for "working hard for their money." Have fun on your trip. I hope you get your full allotment.

    I feel the same way as @MarkJC1018 If I drive 3+ Hours from Mass I'm buying everything and anything in sight.

    The last Lawsons I went to I got in line at 6:00am to be number 56..... Should I not have gotten my full allotment of 2 BA Maple Fayston Stouts because other people arrived way later and struck out? Fuck that.

    I was going to ask what time the Berverage Baron usually gets deliveries but, as someone who's been known to troll, I'd hate to kill this negativity.

    Hey I was just looking for opinions and thoughts. I could have made this a "where do I get Topper, how do I find it, Does John Alchemist have a website, I'm going to the cannery can I drink one there" post. Glad I could give you guys something to pass some time and laugh at! I'll let ya'll know what I end up with. But in seriousness thanks for any insight people, I do appreciate it.

    The Beverage Baron Facebook page indicated on 11/4 that it receives its deliveries between 1-3 pm on Mondays.

    Can anyone recommend a place between Waitsfield and Boston for lunch tomorrow (tuesday) that will have Hill Farmstead on tap? I'd been planning to hit Three Penny in Montpelier but they updated their taplist today and no HF. Was going to do Worthy Burger, but they don't open till 3. Looking for someplace to eat around noon.

    Ahhh didn't even think of that. Its probably between that and Three Penny(minus the HF) Unless we decide to go somewhere in Burlington.

    Blackback used to be the call but not sure what the heck is happening there now
