Wait so no pumpkin ales?!
Any new beers that hadn't been approved before the shutdown are on hold.
This is an outrage. I feel sorry for all of you who will have to make do with whatever craft beers were already being made and your usual troutty american beer.
*demeaning comment about how American beer is terrible with added comment about how you're al better off anyway*
I thought they only made cheese!
-_-; leave my Budweiser alone.

Yet, craft beers have continued to come out nonstop, and the shutdown is coming to an end. Hm.Quote:

check out this craft crusty sock you guys!
Yeah, okay. I'm talking about new beers. Victory DirtWolf for one just came out a couple weeks ago. So the government was shut down for 16 days, we're going to have a delay of 16 days at the most for new craft beers coming out. The also probably get approved way ahead of time anyway. The difference has been and will continue to be negligible.Quote:

Mulley, beers are not a topic to joke about. Ever. Only serious discussion.
lol ,
You weren't joking when you said "the news is real." I just wanted to point out that as real as it is, it's insignificant. When were you joking and why does it matter?

Harpoon Brewery is right down the road from me. I hate them. they're always clogging up traffic with drunks in the road, stupid bike races where 45809898 bicyclists take up the road and wont get out of motorists way. Oh and I don't like craft beer.
This is general chat, but does everything have to be a joke? And where was the joke and what was the purpose of it? I just don't understand why my side of the conversation has to be dismissed because someone claims they were joking about something somewhere.
You: Craft beer production will be halted because of the shutdown.
Me: It's not going to be noticeable, beers are still coming out, and the shutdown is over.
You: Hey, relax man, I was joking. This is general chat.
Um what? lol, I just don't see the point of getting on my case for saying what I said in response to this thread. Chill out you smurfin' weirdos.
People often require little excuse to treat things they don't like poorly.
