Pliny The Younger on eBay!

My favorite (I’m about halfway through the BA thread at this point) is the IHeartSuds guy with the super huge entitlement complex.

"Since I liked the three sips of Russian River I’ve had at a tasting, they are obligated to expand if they can keep the quality the same so that I can easily obtain their bottles of beer."

Let’s use food instead

"I hear that Thomas Keller’s French Laundry makes some really good food, but why is it only available at some restaurant out in California? He should totally make more food and make it available in my local restaurants as well. In the mean time, ISO: Hand doggy-bagged French Laundry Salmon Cornets. They may not be as good once they’ve flown across the country to NY where I live, but I deserve to get to try them and I shouldn’t have to go to his restaurant and order them there."

Or, with people.

"I totally saw this really hot guy/girl out at the bar the other night. I wasn’t alone either, there were like 8 of us checking this person out. And yet, s/he had the nerve to go home with some other person at the end of the night. That’s horribly unfair to the rest of us who were interested in having sex with him/her that night. S/he should start sleeping with all of the rest of us on a regular basis as long as the quality can be maintained."

Yet another overrated beer on eBay. Big surprise.

Honestly, if I had read this coming from a RBer, I would have assumed it was just sarcasm...why think anything different just because it is on BA?

I was paraphrasing about 15 posts by the same guy (the thread is over 250 replies at this point) into what the basis of his argument eventually came down to (though yes, I did it a bit mockingly). He also was not alone in the argument, and most of the people supporting that argument came across dead serious.

Here’s how I would run a special release:

Consumption is only available on premise, no bottles to go.

Everyone is scuffed and goes through a metal detector while entering and when leaving.

Bottles are opened by the bartenders and poured by the bartenders. Customers cannot legally touch the bottle.

So there you have it. You dickwads have turned something fun into airport security.

If only I had traded all my other beer I traded for in exchange for a chocolate rain, I could trade for that hand bottle. Then trade that for something else, like rare cantiloons.
