    They should check IDs and depending on how far you live from 3 Floyds determines how many cases you can buy. It seems like the only fair thing to do.

    I went on a fishing trip. FFF is on the way. Since it was on the way, I said "Hey, who wants some Three Floyd's?" And it was for the bro's as I took a whopping two cases for the fishing trip. I certainly didn't need to rent a pickup for my two cases. And I can see where it seems whiny and entitling when you don't understand the reason for my being upset. Next, I never said I was more entitled. Simply equally entitled. If someone else can spend a grand there over the course of a year, why can't I? Never mind my cousin, uncle, father, and two friends of the family got there at two and stayed til nearly 7. That tab was a few hundred bucks as well with food and beverage, plus buying drinks for the locals we were happy to meet. I was more than happy to do that by the way. We had fun. Telling them to fuck off was inappropriate. No doubt. As for the guns blazing part, I'm an emotional person, and I'm unapologetic about it, too. Supply and demand, I get that. As I said, I simply don't understand why catering to these 12 people is frowned upon, but these other 12 ok.

    Wondering if you're familiar with the term "let it go."

    Dude, hipster bloggers are even making fun of you. Let. It. Go.

    I actually found the blog rather amusing. Being made fun of by such a person, or anyone else on the Internet, isn't really something I get upset over.

    A. No one is entitled to beer. Not if you live behind the brewery or 100 miles away (I will allow that employees are entitled to beer -- never said I wasn't a hypocrite). On the flipside, Three Floyds is entitled to run their business however they like.

    B. Bringing beer from the wilds of Indiana back East is not some sort of holy mission. It's not like ferrying provisions to people trapped in Leningrad during the early 1940's (for the record, this is not an invocation of Godwin's Law, though surely that's going to happen soon). No one is a martyr. There's no such thing as the Gospel of Zombie Dust.

    Well that's patently false.

    Hey, Hayden:

    Let's say I go see a concert and want to buy 12 tickets, and they'll only sell me 6. In protest, I flap my arms up and down, throw wads of money at the ticket booth, and yell "MY MONEY IS GOOD! YOU WILL SELL ME TICKETS OR YOU AND QUEENSRYCHE COULD GO FUCK YOURSELVES!"... it doesn't make me A) any more entitled to the tickets; B) any more right; C) tolerable; D) worthy of respect, no matter how many shows I've gone and seen there in the past, or how much I've paid for tickets.

    I agree with some of your points. Yeah, it sucks that 3F is limiting case sells, even if I do think limiting ZD sales is probably justifiable.

    But see how I said that without saying they should go fuck themselves?

    Now have a beer, chill out, and please, kindly refrain from fucking yourself (all peaceful n'shit).

    Yeah, but what would happen if, instead of flapping your arms, you chose to stand there in Silent Lucidity?

    Ahhh...It's Mr. "Fuck Beer Advocate." There is a lot other stuff that's much more deserving of getting so upset over than this site...

    Hate is a pretty strong word...

    I already admitted that telling them to go fuck themselves was inappropriate. Now...either you didn't read that, or you did, and just feel like beating the horse some more. :stuck_out_tongue: Tickets are a little bit different. There's a finite number, and it's one show. FFF makes beer. All the time. It's all they do. They're not going to run out of beer. They make more. Where Zombie Dust is concerned, it's year round. They'll be making it all the time. It's not a annual release. It's not a one off. Still, I understand the desire to not have someone buy 20 cases at a time. I just had no idea the rest of their stuff sold out so quick that you can't have any of it if you have 2 cases of their year round Dust already.
