Next time get up and drive across the swamp and stand in 32 degree temps and you'll get your beer.


By that argument, all the people from Houston should have gotten up and driven across the swamp, too.

Andrew/Parish doesnt owe a slow metered sales approach to anyone. If I spend thousands and thousands of dollars brewing multiple "experimental" beers I want my money back quickly. no limits....


Yeah, the business owner side of me says cash flow all in a day on a product is awesome. Waiting 30, 60, or 90 days on invoices sucks big time.

The customer satisfaction side of me would like to see limits. You want to take care of your local customers as they'll support you even when you don't have special beers for sale. Locals are going to drink Envie when there's nothing else, but they might think twice if they think Parish would rather turn a blind eye to bootlegging to get cash instead of taking care of the locals.

I have to imagine that the extreme quantities being purchased (for muling or for flipping) surprised the Parish folks.

They didn't have any issues with no limits the first three weekends, and they brewed twice as much DDH Ghost as the first three hoppy releases.

But... DDH Ghost... people went a little nuts.

I did that for the first spindletap Juiceton release. By now, we all should know what to expect. If you want the beer bad enough plan accordingly. I don't have sympathy for Houston peeps driving in super early.

I agree with all of this and lean on the customer service side. While they did expect big groups the turnout still surprised them, Andrew didn't expect to sell out Saturday.

IMO in hindsight they should have put a modest limit, between 2-5 cases.
