yep, and we apparently expect these guys to put together our custom orders to the ounce, mill them and ship them all in the same amount of time it takes for some guy to pull a bag off the shelf and throw it in a box.
No, I *don't* expect them to. That's why I was surprised when austin home brew and brewmaster warehouse do. It's a definite plus.
A year ago BMW was the bees knees for their brew builder, because they would sell by the ounce now everyone has turned on them because...shockingly...it actually takes time
`
I was neither aware that BMW was ever the bee's knees nor that everyone was turning on them now.
The brew builder, which I first heard of today,
is pretty nifty and I agree with you, that it's hypocritical to like one aspect of the brew-builder but then to turn and ***** about the inevitable consequence and figure one is entitled to want everything, now and ***** and moan if you can't have it.
But I figured the question "does any company have something similar to the brew builder" is a legitimate one (short answer; no). I personally would have left out the "cause they suck" because it's irrelevant and subjective and inflamitory, but I wasn't going to judge anyone for thinking something sucks. I think *lots* of things suck. (Jeez, all you hipster crafters can you *lay off* on the Xtreme, kick-ass, punk, inSANE, etc. etc. attitudes... it's soooo tedious... )
But yeah, I agree with you. It's wrong to post in a disguise to slag. (If one wants to slag then one should actually ennounciate just what one is slagging on.) And it's hypocritical to like one specific aspect of a company that is unique to them but to dislike the company on other grounds and then feel you are *entitled* to have the one thing about the company on another company you like better.
I just wasn't close enough to the whole lets-bash-on-Brewmasterwarehous-cause-all-the-other-cool-kids-bash-em to recognize this post as an example of that.
