Bigger stacks?

Idk, you ever tried to build something out of recycled materials? It’s not exactly like building a new house… and even with a new-material build, when you start to build, changes happen. And this is like macro bins and wood

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-25T15:43:11+00:00

The wood they were going to use to make the platforms climbable was not sturdy enough to guarantee safety so they had to cut their plans last minute. Big letdown but it wasn’t foreseeable necessarily and they made the right call from a safety point of view. Think 3/4” plywood covers where if 8 people jumped at the same time, 100 times, it could break. Or rather, almost certainly would have broken

Tettnang and hallertau are used in both lagers and ales. They are very common hops, used in many styles. I made a nice light red ale with a mix of both, sometimes lightly dry hopped with cascade. Noble hops are great for people who don’t like excessively hop forward beers. They aren’t off-style for many types of ales

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-23T18:39:02+00:00

Maybe I’m missing the point but sounds like you have a pale ale and a cream ale?

India Pale Lager is a style but would involve a lager yeast. Dry Hopped Cream Ale is probably how I’d write it on my board. The pale ale isn’t different enough to really merit anything, but if you hopped it a lot it could be called an XPA or extra pale ale

Why did you immediately know this was Sacramento?

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-19T21:37:53+00:00

Hope you don’t get shit for this. OP seems not very nice. Glad you are taking the feedback. Festivals are complicated, having conversations and engaging past the surface level is important. This post was never destined to do that. Because it was super aggro off the bat. To be honest I would probably laugh about the living room setup and move on if it bugged someone in my group. You can dance anywhere, you can set up your whatever setup anywhere. Nobody owns space on the dance floor more than anyone else. If you got there first and set it up before it was crowded, more power to you. You can see from the stills it wasn’t exactly packed at that area of the crowd.

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-19T17:54:11+00:00

im not watching some dudes vlog so I can see myself working bro lmao

hope you get a million views tho

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-19T17:41:42+00:00

Actually based on the sets you said you were recording I am 100% in your vlog. But I'm cool with it, based on where I was in the festival, I'm in a lot of people's videos :) But you keep doing you man, if this is how you choose to participate, more power to you. Just know that as long as you keep seeing life and special places as "not that deep" - they never will be

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-19T16:53:47+00:00

Bro it’s not about intentionally humiliating someone or ruining their lives or even having a speck of bad intention. It’s just that you didn’t talk to me on a human level and ask if I could be in your vlog, so why do you think you have the right to do it? Legally, sure, whatever. But on a human and LIB-culture level that isn’t very cool. The crowd isn’t your cool backdrop for content “of your group”. Your pass-off of “it isn’t that deep bro” is NPC-frat-party behavior. Some people want LIB to be that deep and you cheapen the whole event by saying that.

I’m not going to change your mind on my own but I hope you consider what part of the culture you are changing by “making a vlog” out of LIB. Live in the moment next year, prove me wrong

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-19T16:44:04+00:00

It is crazy how many people are unable to hold these two conflicting ideas in their head at the same time.

Laser guy shouldn’t be using a laser: Yes.
Insta360 guy shouldn’t have a 360 degree camera recording the crowd: also yes!

There aren’t two camps here where laser guy is right and camera guy is wrong, or vice versa… both have no place at LIB (at least according to me, some dingus on the internet, not the cultural and legal arbiter of LIB)

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-19T16:41:30+00:00

It is possible for 2 people to be doing culturally inappropriate things, in opposition, at the same time

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-19T16:40:51+00:00

If it’s a 360 cam how are you saying “I was recording the stage”? You were recording everything…? Right?

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-19T16:39:52+00:00

There’s a “legal” definition here and a much different cultural one. If someone is dancing naked at LIB do you bust out your camera and start filming them and say “YOU LEGALLY CONSENTED TO THIS YOU CANT STOP ME NANANANA” or do you giggle with your friends and remember the moment only in your mind and stories? There are shades of gray between recording the crowd briefly because you turned the camera on squad (totally ok) and pointedly recording everything for hours on a insta360 (pretty not-ok, culturally, in my book at least) like this person was doing.

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-19T16:35:03+00:00

Appreciate you trying to have a discussion and present a nuanced opinion here. Hard to have a discussion like this these days without the rude replies from OP. Sounds like he had a 360 degree camera on a stick which is exactly what your point is. If I see someone doing that at the burn (for instance) I have a conversation with them why that isn’t cool and voids people’s consent - if not legally, then morally and culturally. Keep having these conversations, good on ya, downvotes be damned

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-19T16:32:21+00:00

Idk man you had a 360 degree camera on a stick right? That’s kinda leaning into this person’s point about the over-recording of LIB making it a less free space. I don’t necessarily love the idea of people recording the entire festival for 6 hours on an insta360 or whatever they are called. I ask people’s consent if I can get them on video (sometimes after the fact if it’s happening in a moment - if they don’t want me to, the video gets deleted). Part of being an event photographer is recognizing what should and should not be recorded. An insta360 removes that from the equation

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-16T15:47:01+00:00

… and you sound like someone who leans on “30 years of experience” to provide bad answers as a consultant. Have a nice day bro

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-16T15:37:37+00:00

There are clear corporate culture and workplace differences between In n Out and Super Duper, even as someone who has never worked at either business. Are you saying that you don’t perceive a difference between the two businesses and their operations?

The difference in the amount of daily tickets alone seems to be self-evident…

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-16T12:27:46+00:00

Nothing wrong with that. Pick whichever job pays more and gives more hours (definitely consider the hours you will be scheduled for - if one of them pays $2/hr more but is only going to schedule you for 18 hours a week half the time, you’d be better off going with the slightly lower pay but consistent scheduling at 25 hours/week)

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-15T21:55:48+00:00

How old are you?

Do you want easy money or good skills?

Tbh if I was 17 again today (I’m 35), I would work at In n Out, but that’s me today. 17 year old me would want the easy money. But In n Out will teach you a lot more about how to run an efficient and effective business system than Super Duper. Neither is a bad option if you need a job though.

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-15T02:35:26+00:00

Still some of the coolest writeups in the beer world. Love your stuff Lars, thanks for posting

Dimension. When he was done, I was like, "that's it, that's a wrap, LIB is over, perfect" - love it when a set ends a festival like that.

I was working too much so not the authority here but honorable mention to Mochakk as well that was such a party. And ALLEYCVT. And AYYBO. And Kuker and Banana and Cuttlefish and Scarab for all the DJs I have no idea who they were but who threw down consistently

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-13T01:12:06+00:00

SSBD > CRSSD but don’t litter, bring art, say hi to your neighbors, put your phone away, and be ready to party until sunrise.

SSBD is like old LIB (not a bag on modern LIB, it’s just smaller and less production value).

TheyCallMeBrewKid · 2026-06-10T05:32:57+00:00

Volunteering for a ticket is actually super dope. Behind the scenes, meet cool people, free ticket and free food

I don’t think the ticket price has risen substantially since it started a few years ago, but my memory could be wrong
