I love Nelson :(

I'm happy it exists for you then. You may also have my share of the world's supply and I hope you enjoy it.

Grape tends to overpower everything else for my palate. Same reason I don't want raisins anywhere near cinnamon buns.

Also part of the reason I don't think as much as most Buffalo Trace products as most people do.

It’s not Burial, but this’ll do…

So it seems I've got a way around the holy shit I spent 120+ on shipping beer to me alone. I got two coworkers who are joining in and we will split a case. Yes less beer but less sticker shock also.

I feel attacked.
No not an attack at all.

Just most of my coworkers are saying the same thing we know it's damn good beer but telling someone we spent 120 beer is not a good idea right now. Saying we spent 40 is better. Fun fact is if I spend 40 on 8 drinks it's fine.... 120 on 24 is questioned even though cost per drink is the same.

You think my wife knows I spent $120 on beer?

So many of my friends are like this. She probably doesn’t care. You work hard. You don’t live a wasteful life in general. It’s fine to enjoy some things. That’s one fancyish dinner for two at a restaurant and you’re drinking it over many days (hopefully).

If I bought a case it'd last a month.... Also why I loop in friends for large purchases since I prefer fresh beer.

To be clear, I'm not hiding my beer in a secret fridge. She knows it exists. She knows the beer closet exists. I just have no reason to tell her how much I'm spending on it. If she asks I'll happily tell her. But it's not like it arrives and I'm telling her about how much I spent on it either.

To your point, I work hard, and the mortgage, daycare, and cable all get paid on time and there are groceries in the house. If any of those things weren't true shed have a case, but until I can't do any of those things, my beer budget is my problem.
