There's nothing snobby about learning, Jorge.

Oh, I'm sure he'll find a way to make it so.

This platypus bashing has got to stop.

Of course not, but once I'm all nice and connoisseur'd, I fear I'll lose that cheery beery innocence. Right now I'm like a 6 year old listening to music-- I like just about everything. Even shitty watered-down light beers.

Fine, I'll club a seal instead.

I'm sure you had some in NYC that tasted sort of like the shadows on the walls of Plato's cave.

I'm in if you still need more. More beer talk = A better life.

Talking beer is one of my favorite ways to pass the time.

Umm...

I'm in.

Me too, lets do it

Okay, the draft order is set. Each player will have 24 hours to draft their beer. We will have six rounds of drafting, and then matchups will occur. I think that to keep this fun, we should be drafting six different styles (IPA, Stout, Witbier, etc.) I'm not going to put any sort of restrictions on what styles can or cannot be drafted, and it is okay to draft variations on a style (for instance, I will accept a team with a black IPA, a white IPA, an imperial IPA and a straight IPA.)

Snake style drafting, of course. Good luck, players.

What is it gonna take for you to post more? I'm prepared to offer you 50 cents per post.

Cool. I've never been in one of these tourneys before so I'm guessing I just pick my six beers?

I'll stick with beers that I have not only tried but that I can buy here in Buffalo and drink regularly.

Ithaca Flower Power DIPA (Still my favorite go to DIPA even though there are so many good ones out ther)
Ole' Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout (best tried on nitro but great from a bottle too)
Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter (fucking amazing beer. Period)
Victory Prima Pils (wasn't sure about including a pils but it's a really good beer)
Saison Dupont (Brasserie Dupont in Belgium. )
Ayinger Brauweisse (an awesome German Hefeweizen. This brewery also makes a killer Oktoberfest)

Most of you guys are probably familiar with the first four but the last two are definitely worth trying. Perfect representation of the styles IMHO.

BEER!!!!

You can't do that!!

You only get ONE pick at a time! Better make it that Victory or I'm gonna snag it.

this thread never really had a chance

He just did.

Oh, fuck me. Someone erase that post for me since it looks like I can't.

I'll go with the Ithaca Flower Power.
