Off topic, but I wanted to check one last time if anyone wants to go in on a pallet of cases with psutron and myself. We are looking to find takers for the remaining 50 cases of long neck 12 ouncers at $7.53 per case. If anyone is interested, please PM psutron or me within the next few days and we will place the order.
Wegman's KOP put it on sale at 1:00 limit 2/per for $6ea and sold out in 10min
Total Wine in Claymont had....
Stone Go To IPA, some Rise Up, and a sixer of Lot 3. And two bottles of the 3rd installment of the Ommegang GOT beer...
Nobody wants that crap... get outta here Fess with that amateur garbage.
So, I tell the girl behind the counter (sorry, no name) I'm a Keystone Homebrew club member. Ive been told before that Im in the computer, but always mention it to be sure to get the 10% discount. She asks for my membership card. Hmmm, been buying my grains there for a long time (somewhere around 10 sacks a year) and never been asked that before. She says something about them wanting to be sure members are active and having to pay for club activities. New policy. Guess I missed the memo. WTF, I didnt need that $18 dollars anyway.

So you have a card? Mind telling me what the dues are? She never gave me the option to join. Maybe I read into it wrong, but she made it sound like they were trying to weed out inactive members like me who were using membership for the discount. Made me feel really important to them after shopping there since I started brewing seven years ago.. . . I guess I will have to make sure I have my membership card with me next time I go in just to be safe.
Yes I get the newsletter and emails, but admit to not reading them cover to cover. Just a quick skim to see if anything looks interesting, so I must have missed it. For what it's worth, I also spent over $80 there at the beginning of February and got the club discount. There was no mention of the new policy, but one of the guys who knows me was at the register.I'm not accusing you of not being a member, but this went into effect a while ago (want to say over 6 months, but not 100% on that) so it shouldn't be news to you.

I have been to a couple of meetings, but I'm from NJ and it's a good 45-60 minute drive one way. I considered them my LHBS because they had always been friendly, helpful and accommodating. I know Joe at Princeton Homebrew and have felt bad about not giving him my business, but I was loyal to Keystone since I started with them. It will take me a while to go throught the 135lbs of grain I just bought from Keystone, but the 15 minute drive to Princeton Homebrew will be welcome.

In hindsight, I shouldnt be ranting (whining) here. I should have known and shouldnt expect special treatment. If nothing else, this might be a heads-up to some other Philly Area homebrewer who uses Keystone Homebrew and hasnt gotten the news.
Anyone going to the canning event at Keystone next month? I wish I could can some of my beer but I just put my last batch in bottles and probably won't have enough time to make another batch in time.
So the Beer Store Southampton had Heady today 😳

Damn. Just cracked my HT clone last weekend. Would love to compare since I've never had HT.
I think i still have a can or 2 kicking around if your still looking for one.
Ok I want 2 opinions from the local crew:
1) Wife and going on date night this Saturday. We live in Central Bux and looking for a brewpub. We LOVE Forrest and Main but just want to try something else out. Never been to Tired Hands. Worth the drive? It's about 40 minutes. Funny thing it's about 10 minutes from where I grew up. If not worth it, where do you recommend?
2) Am I being overly sensitive or is it okay that I find most of the Beer Advocate reviews by peeps to be overly *****y? I just read one that said: "A two-finger head of dense, eggshell-white foam sets up immediately and then takes its sweet time slowly collasping, leaving a generous ring of lace around the sides of the glass."
My review of beers: Color, taste from first sip, final review. Like or Don't like. End of story.
