Northern Virginia Roll Call

Dude. These commonwealth beers are sooooooo good they’re killing it.

 

i also have that counter top

 

Killing it!

When I was home in Sept by far the best collection of beers I drank (And that was a lot). They are killing it again. They make KILLER IPAs and Stouts.

 

Absolutely. I need to get down there. From a guy who lives in the same town as The Veil, I appreciate Commonwealth for their fucking killing it, as well as availability.

 

I've had both and Commonwealth gets my vote...

 

Yep been running bags for the life of the truck, I keep em at 5 when unloaded and adjust with weight or when I need travel, only time I had issues was when I melted a line welding too close to it. Think of them as adjustable bump stops, the key is to have em at the right pressures for a smooth ride

 

Yep max life atf is better then what is currently in them.

 

Agree. Stand by it though.

 

For someone who has no interest in taking time off of work to stand in line for release days, and no patience for the fucking whalezbros, I for the most part am thoroughly irritated by them. But their beers are so god damned good. Anyway, cheers homie.

 

I think I have had Commonwealth? Veil, I have not. You two will have to enlighten me sometime.

 

Whalezbros? And who the fuck stands in line for a release day? That is a bit too pretentious for my blood. The beer can't be THAT good.

 

.....I kinda wanna try it now.

 

Wait, there are people who haven’t had at least ONE Veil beer?

 

I can fix this. I’ll bring some up as soon as I get enough done on my house to make it to a meet.

 

Yep...and trust me, I have tried a lot of beers. Probably too many...I may have a problem. At least according to my Untappd profile.

Seriously though, whalezbros?

Edit: Nevermind. Those guys sound quite douchey...

1) “Whalez”
Typically followed by the word “bro,” the reference to a beer as a “whale” derives from Herman Melville's American literary classic Moby Dick. As many of you know, the book revolves around the Captain Ahab's painstaking search for “the white whale.” Tack a “z” on that bad boy and it suddenly means a beer that's difficult to find due to limited release or production. Some may claim that they “only drink whalez, bro.” Avoid these people. Leave them to revel in their tantalizing beer fantasies alone. They usually can't have a conversation with another human without bringing up all the crazy beers they've drunk anyway. You won't be missing out.

Used in a sentence: That bottle share was totally lame. It's a good thing I kept my whalez at home so I didn't have to waste them on those n00bs.

 

I’ve never even heard of it.

 

A term used in the craft community to describe the fucking Chads that dedicate enormous amounts of time, money, line camping, and trading to acquire the rarest of the rare beers (whales). The trouble is they make it hard to determine what is worth acquiring, and what is all hype. (No offense to anyone named Chad, it’s just a term.) Also, sorry. I love talking about beer as much as chainsaws.

 

Haha. I spent so long typing my definition, you found it, comprehended it, and posted it. I hate mobile....

 

I'm with you there. I love beer and love talking about it. I think I might have had one "whale" my whole life...and I am quite good with that. Those type of idiots just ruin it for everyone else IMO.
