Beermiscuous had me curate a mix-a-six. It's got some cool stuff in it, you should swing by and support like, 9 small businesses with one single purchase.

3 Floyds is finally realizing that clear information is critical to capturing today's savvy beer consumer, especially when dealing with a price point even BeerAdvocate is questioning.

If being opaque and inaccesible is your 2020 craft beer strategy, even as your previously highly sought after beers sit on grocery store shelves everywhere... yikes.

I mean who knows maybe that angle still works for them. But when the consumer community is debating whether or not your variants are worth taking on 4 overpriced and unwanted bombers I gotta imagine things are less than ideal.

I like how they say "you'll be randomly assigned one of the two options" then ask for your Binnys card like they're not going to use that to see who's more loyal (spends more) to decide who wins and what you win It's the same thing Binny's does with bourbon allocations (at least the store's I've encountered)
