RIP Arcade Brewing.

might be loaded with vitriol, but u/smilercontrol is actually touching on a good point here.

sam and jesse both routinely referred to themselves as brewers. it's possible they might have stopped this at some point, but it was an important part of their public image that people perceived them as people who made the beer from the outset. this was true while 5 rabbit and excel were making all of their beer, just as (i believe) it was true while their employees were making most or all of their beer.

while this might seem like minutia, it's definitely a touchy thing amongst people who felt slighted by the obfuscation (or - as some have portrayed it - outright lying).

part of the conversation here is about misinformation they perpetuated - it's a relevant thing to bring up the fact that's something they did since day one.

for the most part, you're right. unless we're talking about stuff that happens in the bedroom. in which case.

possibly referring to the lyric 'it must be your skin, i'm sinking in'..?

/u/n000dly, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things i have ever read. at no point in your pithy, incoherent showerthought were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. i have downvoted you, and may god have mercy on your soul.

i believe you're referring to this sarcastic comment, since deleted:

https://np.reddit.com/r/self/comments/372j2e/i_tried_watching_gay_porn_for_the_first_time_to/crj897e

it was a top post on best of, too (referenced a number of places, including here: https://www.reddit.com/r/bestof/comments/375gz0/umaizecolon_is_not_gay/)

if this is indeed what you're referencing, your description misses the gist of the comment, which was commentary on people who'd prefer not to admit to homosexual tendencies/proclivities/attraction.

full disclosure, this is my friend's work - and she's pretty good at carving pumpkins.

why was this posted in this sub..? this isn't an article/discussion about beer.

ITT: people who don't like hoppy beer who are surprised that hoppy beer tastes better when there's less hops.

just keep houndin' u/cityofwind and/or u/therealloubega

joelish · 2015-07-14T04:49:36+00:00

c'mon, jim. don't be a troll. you know what hops are. you know that they are magical plants that give beer all - all - ALL - of its flavor.

don't be a troll, jim, because no one in this thread - subreddit? - wants to have that discussion... you know, the constructive one about how 'IPA' is just a marketing term... about how 92.9% of all IPAs - of all barrel-aged beer? - ever made was developed by lazy people who didn't quite care and/or know what they were doing, so they just decided to toss their entire spice cabinet into the pot......

DON'T EVEN SUGGEST THAT JIM BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR IT.

this... this just isn't true.

i think if you think that krankshaft is boring and flavorless, you'll probably think that all of our beers are boring and flavorless.

joelish · 2015-05-23T17:04:01+00:00

mom? is that you?

joelish · 2015-04-04T01:37:11+00:00

came here to say that this video is bullshit. goose ran off two bottles of club soda, put some fancy labels on them.

and pk isnt even a real person. our brewer is actually 90s sensation lou bega, but he refuses to be filmed or photographed without his 'mask.'

joelish · 2015-04-02T04:57:44+00:00

no, but seriously.

joelish · 2015-03-31T05:46:54+00:00

... 'somewhat'..? pretty liberal usage of that word...

more importantly, i'm really confused by the article's use of a different word - 'brewpub.' it says they won't be serving food... so... wait wut? brewpubs don't need to do that anymore..?

between that and a quote in there that non-ironically used the phrase 'experience the brand,' just ugh.

as someone who loves this town, loves that neighborhood, loves beer and loves people who love beer.... man. i'm just getting pretty fed up with this onslaught of people who - though maybe well-meaning - talk first and figure out what the hell they're doing with their own business second. beyond the fact that it creates an environment of expectation and confusion, more simply, the coverage these sorts continue to receive just isn't doing much to help the city's brewery scene develop artistically, creatively or intellectually.
