Yeah, those guys didn't want to be anywhere near each other.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind it if webber just went for it. He's capable of fast qualifying times and can fight off attackers. They just need to keep it clean if they're going to battle for the lead.
I literally lol'd at Alonso. What the hell was he thinking?

I'm generally OK with Hamilton. Wouldn't mind seeing Massa do well this season and would at least be entertained by Kimi winning some but I've been a fan of vettel since he was with Toro Rosso.

Looks like it'll be a great season!

Where have I talked shite about people? I just said I don't care about College basketball, plus this thread was dead anyway.

I actually watched that Florida gulf coast game Sunday night. Did they play again?

Wife tries it and says "it's good, but I like the other one (SN Ruthless Rye) more"

I really like this beer. Really interesting.

So what did you think? It drinks very easily for a 10% abv beer, not heavy at all.

It's sooo easy to drink yet the tastes and flavors are very complex.

Powerful but mellow IMO.

ETA you had to have been drunk after a sucks, snrr, and a hopslam haha

I really really loved this beer. The hop profile along with all the other components just works! Gonna save #2 for a victory beer after US beats Mexico!!

And oh yeah, I shared the other beers with her so I wasn't too drunk.

I appreciate your feedback.

In regards to the beer in question:

We received more of it than anyone else in the Baton Rouge area. We made it available for sale on Friday morning, the only reason it hung around long enough to be purchased on the following Tuesday was because of a higher price.

This item (cantillon) is EXTREMELY, well no... NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to get. And it may show up only once per year, or every other year for that matter, and only if we are lucky enough to be granted a chance to sell it.

Many places throughout the country routinely have even higher prices than the ones that we had posted. I've seen it go upwards to $50-$60 per bottle in larger cities.

Perhaps we are a dollar higher on some things e.g. canebrake. Wholesale cost on canebrake is ~$31/case @ $9.99 we're making $2.24 per 6pk where someone else @ $8.99is only getting $1.24 per 6pk. There isn't much profit for retail even in the new craft beer world.

Carrying the extensive inventory of craft/specialty beer is very costly for us to keep it on the shelves. With beer being COD when it arrives, a simple re-fill order may cost over $10,000 for just basic necessities. Not including the cool, geeky stuff that sits for a longer period of time. We could dumb-down our selection and keep it more simple without the upper-end items like mikkeller, all of the sours, struise, dieu du ciel, clown shoes, etc but we choose not to. I answer emails/texts/website requests 24/7. We peruse online msg board communities and follow current requests from everyone with a goal to please all tastes. All of that is built into our pricing structure. An extra dollar for some items goes a long way....and believe me....it doesn't go into our pockets, a lot of that specialty beer does go bad from time to time and we have to eat the losses.

Hope you do enjoy the cantillon though. It is in fact ridiculously good.

Cheers!
