You're so focused on the small picture... Why would you care if it sold in 15 minutes vs 24 hours? The money is the same and no one is arguing that you won't sell out your allotment. But those guys who have no life and will be waiting in line are going to buy ghost. That's it!

You limit it to 2 4 packs and you'll get people coming in to buy the beer who will also buy other things making you even MORE money. But who am I kidding... I don't need to tell you that because you clearly got it altogether.

And also, if you put 150 cases on the floor then you got at least 160 because I don't believe for a second that some doesn't sit in the back for your use or some other family member.

You and your lobby are part of the problem with craft beer in Louisiana

If you use your position to shitlord it like some do then it's pretty fricked up. May not be "against the rules" but definitely doesn't help you in the I'm not a douche argument.

I don't know what the fuss is all about with special releases for beer anymore. You can get great beer year round with no lines or having to sit through these stupid store release parties. If I get ghost, then great. If not, will get it next time. In the meantime there are so many beers to choose from that are awesome.

Do you think it is right that Parish is not allowed to open up a store in your shopping center strictly for selling their product?

I just want to tell you that I appreciate your social media posts about beer releases. They give me a heads up to make a trip to my local grocery store when I get a chance so I can pick that beer up

Southern Eagle is as much to fault with supply as anyone. They command where the shite goes and doesn't and if you don't sell enough Canebrake you don't get jack shite.

Shitlording doesn't mean a 4 pack. Hell I wouldn't care if you kept a case or two but no one in this thread thinks that's all that's being held back. And it's not all held back for you... That part is kind of messed up in my opinion.

Calandros has ALWAYS held products behind the counter for certain customers...

It's their right, just like it is to put douchy sell out times on instagram. like someone else said, their posts tell me when to ping my regular grocery store for my brews so i'm thankful for that
