The Beer Thread

Who will be the first to complain about the taplist and prices of beer at The Atlantis… I'll bet the farm on Space.

Whatever they do you can bet there will be complaints.

At a 930 show I overheard some guys talking about how 930 was now charging stadium prices. I couldn’t exactly disagree. I noticed not that many people were getting beers. There is a point at which people just say fuck that.

I say bring back at least one cheap beer….maybe without advertising it…

I remember $3 buds…of course it was25 years ago….

Who the fuck is Travis Twit?

You remind me of the guy who was trying to argue that nobody knows who LCD Soundsystem is.

I would argue that Travis is way more well known that LCDSS

i would argue that both are HUGE… in small, isolated niches. neither of them have crossed over into the mainstream.

LCDSS are big in the indie/dance/NYC/etc scenes.  but i can totally see how someone who isn't into those scenes might not have ever heard of murphy & co.

tritt is apparently a really big name in country… but as someone who isn't into country, i can honestly say i had never heard of him until yesterday.  zero name or face recognition for me. 

i consider myself to have an above-average awareness of music, i go to a lot of shows (at least used to), i follow music biz news, i make the mistake of reading you music nerds on the daily, etc… and i couldn't have picked tritt out of a lineup 24 hours ago. 

one shouldn't assume that their personal knowledge = common knowledge, which is hard to do when the personal knowledge is deep.

Commonwealth Brewing to open an Old Town Fairfax location.

oh that's good

"The Cullen–Harrison Act, named for its sponsors, Senator Pat Harrison and Representative Thomas H. Cullen, enacted by the United States Congress on March 21, 1933, and signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt the following day, legalized the sale in the United States of beer with an alcohol content of 3.2% (by weight) and wine of similarly low alcohol content, thought to be too low to be intoxicating, effective April 7, 1933. Upon signing the legislation, Roosevelt made his famous remark, "I think this would be a good time for a beer."

TIL the rainbow cans of bud light that i thought were at the center of this brouhaha are not available to the public.  they will not be distributed.  AB made one can and gave it to a trans influencer.  so it's not like every Bubba Sixpack is being forced to drink the rainbow.  to my mind this makes this fair kerfuffle even stupider than before.

also, apparently today (4/07) is National Beer Day.  maybe i should mark this special occasion by not having a beer, for once ;D

I'm out.

did baby jules run in the same circles as kid rock?

Of course I disagree with his politics and largely can’t stand his music but the fact Ahmet Ertegun loved him does give me pause.

Kid rock promotion of another beverage over bud lite…oops catilyn Jenner is a part of their marketing

Although taste is secondary to our efforts to virtue signal and make the libs cry

$35 a six pack (that’s 12 oz cans, like god intended)

This bud light thing just has me reading all these stupid stories

but that Matt Walsh, DC draino and other rightwing mouthpieces celebrating the 'collapse of AB' is just killing me
they keep using the stock price and it's hysterical because the stock just had a major surge a month ago of 10%, then it's gone down 5% over the last week or so (i.e. still up 5% from a month ago) as evidence that they have put somewhere between a 3Bill and 5Bill hurt on the brand
I bet in a week or two that most of that 'loss' will be erased and this has had almost no impact

I gotta imagine all the MAGA sheep are just eating it up "We're winning the war on Bud Light!"  Let's throw out more of products we've already bought

this headline in a financial blog says it all

Technically a 10% increase followed by a 5% decrease would be an overall increase of 4.5%, not 5%.

Now you can see why my wife hates me.
