I had to.

I really do enjoy the craft beer movement too, but man the craft beer mafia reminds me of a circle jerk of dungeons and dragons faithful.

What I don't like is all #beermafia, shitlords, hoarding or whatever other nonsense happens when a beer gets hyped and the people that get them hold the hostage for the people that want them and ask for the birth of your first newborn if you dare try to trade for it.

It isn't really here on this board, but other boards, it isn't about drinking and enjoying beer but more about accumulating #rare #cases and then bragging about it.

And things like Bug said,

For example, great flash has a best buy date, when they ever decide to stamp their bottles, on the side of their IPA's. Well, i saw one yesterday, best buy October 30th? I thought, oh ok, thats not too old. Then i saw another Green Flash bottle from a different IPA that said best by March 2016. 6 months? For an IPA? There is no way that beer is still fresh then. Just put a damn brewed on date, and let me decide if i want to purchase it then. I don't know how efficient they are at not producing any dissolved oxygen in the brew or bottle process. I do know that majority of Green Flash beers i get are way past their prime, which is why i stopped getting them.

I get where you're coming from, but dang, you almost make having a beer sound like work.

I should start demanding to the born on date to see the eggs at brunch from now on...if that shits is past 2 weeks old, I ain't buying 'em. No way they're still fresh.
