I save expensive beers for very small crowds (sometimes just myself). Most people can't appreciate a beer that expensive and I'm too cheap to waste it.and want to drink it when youre friends come over and they want some too.It kinda aggravates me, I paid 15 bucks for this brew DFH Theobroma and I dont want to share it to be honest. But then I come off as a douche beer snob. Ill give a sample maybe a few oz, but I really dont wanna split it. These are good friends too, GOD DAMN YOU DILEMMAS!

I would agree to that, somewhat disappointing.We are having a DFH dinner wed night, and it says on the site that Sam is busting out some vintage stuff- I am psyched!!My circle of friends is pretty good, because although I am always buying good beers, I am buying them to share. Usually a get together will have them buying a bottle or 2 as well. And all 3 of our houses have either HB on tap flowing or a commercial sanke of SN or something equal. In my eyes it all balances out. It is kind of an unwritten rule that the owner of the bottle gets the most generous pour in a snifter. FWIW my budies and I split a rare 6 pack off of ebay last year (actually got a bonus- 7 for the price of 6) and we got some Pannepot, Fat Albert, Oerbier, Stille Nacht, tsjeesus xmas, a Westy 12, and a Westy 8. You can bet your ass it was hard for all of us to share that Westy 12.Share the Theobroma. It's not really that good.

ThisIt all balances out. When traveling, a lot of times I 'm looking for some unusual or hard to get beers. Our small circle of friends do the same, so we all get to try different things. One went to Belgium, and brought back an array of hard to finds. That was one hellova tasting party!I would agree to that, somewhat disappointing.We are having a DFH dinner wed night, and it says on the site that Sam is busting out some vintage stuff- I am psyched!!My circle of friends is pretty good, because although I am always buying good beers, I am buying them to share.

Yep, it was offensive. I couldn't give enough of it away to my friends when I opened the bottle. Still ended up pouring out over half of it.Share the Theobroma. It's not really that good.

Same here. When I'm going to hang out with beer nerds, I make a point to check out the bottle shop and drop $50 on a seemingly small amount of beer. I like to talk about the rare beers while I'm drinking them and ratebeer.com doesn't cut it for me, I prefer friends.Although, my dad gets fussy if I pour a nice beer for myself and dont share- but he never likes it! He usually says something bad about it and then leaves it somewhere. So I understand the feeling of not wanting to share sometimes.Some of the rarest beers I have had were when friends shared with me.

yea it ended up just being me and my friend, so i decided to share.I usually don't share beers if I don't want to. I will either hide them in the back or just not talk about it. My friends respect that. On the other hand, I will share rare beers with certain friends. It would depend on how much I have on hand and if that person really would appreciate the style. I certainly wont pour for someone that either just wants beer to get drunk or does not appreciate the style. Also, these people are good friends too, and not just your typical drinking buddy.
