when this response makes sense to the statement above:
"why'd you let your pipeline get so low?!?"

 

[unionrdr]

When you get your pipeline back up 5to 5 cases,& can't wait to get the next one going to add to it.

When meeting friends out, you ask them to bring an empty growler so that you can trade them a full one, because you're pipeline is wayyyyy too full.

[Nightshade]

When you have to make the call as to whether or not to buy a months worth of Top Ramen because the Barley Wine is going to cost a bit more than you thought.

[Billy-Klubb]

I have been in that same exact position myself. I just couldn't decide what flavors of Ramen to get...

 

[VT-NAV]

I was an officer on STOUT, but was an HM2 (fleet marine force) prior to commissioning.

Repurpose those spent grains into some form of sustenance!

 

[GrogNerd]

you have a dream that you're finding empty beer bottles everywhere. even in spots where you've already found bottles, there are just more bottles.

Man, there is way more in this keg than I thought.

[JusBiz]

When you need to explain what the "brew target" icon on your laptop is... after your work presentation.

 

[Cathedral]

Because they're Sierra Nevada bottles that you've already used a few times, and now your wing-capper either cracks the neck, or--if you try to be delicate--doesn't seal the cap.

And then you end up dumping precious ounces of IIPA down the drain. Tonight has been a sad night for Cathedral :,(

 

[Billy-Klubb]

when you try to find a good visual depiction of yeast for a tattoo.

[oujens]

When at a party you are more entertained by the clarity and aroma of your homebrew in a bottle or glass than engaging in conversation with your friends or family.

 

[WilliamSlayer]

When you provide too many choices of (fermented) beverages at a family get together for everyone to drink.

Try this one... and this one... and this one!
