"How long does it take most people to finish their first plate you think?"

Mine took 15 months, but I'm awesome...

2/3/2011 2:30:44 PM

took me 3.5 months to finish my first plate, a year and a half to finish my second plate plate, and 2 years to finish my 3rd plate... and at the rate i'm at now, it will take me another year to year and a half to finish my 4th

2/3/2011 3:24:02 PM

13 months almost to the day for plate 1

2/3/2011 5:28:27 PM

I got about halfway before I'd used up every single beer that didn't taste like ass

eventually it was more like an expensive chore, and my friends all graduated and left Raleigh and so did I

=/

2/3/2011 5:30:36 PM

my first took me 3 months, but that meant going every day which adds up $$$$
second plate i spread out with a lot more mondays and ended up taking me 2 years

2/3/2011 5:33:00 PM

plate #1: 8 months
plate #2: gonna be 11 months

2/3/2011 6:25:46 PM

2/20/2011 10:26:22 AM

^ interesting

Heading out for some patio pints shortly.

2/21/2011 4:40:26 PM

Good luck- we left the only open table at 330


And apparently they ran out of a lot of kegs this weekend - I had to use my two backup beers today

2/21/2011 4:51:30 PM

What great weather to sit on the deck and have some pints. I could do that every day of every week...

2/21/2011 8:33:17 PM

had my plate party sunday. ended up staying there for about 6 hours and racking up $280 worth of carolina strawberry blonde with a few friends

2/21/2011 10:57:53 PM

I heard they were packed on Sunday. Congrats on the plate!

2/22/2011 8:11:20 AM

thinking about having a dual plate party during march madness...would love to spend a saturday afternoon during the second round watching bball and drinking beer.

2/22/2011 8:29:16 AM

Some buddies of mine were trying to convince me to become the youngest platewinner possible by going every day for two and a half months. I would totally do it, but dont feel like/cant afford paying for it

2/22/2011 8:33:29 AM

I hit 103 last night

2/22/2011 8:34:50 AM

21/200

the gap between 18 and 19 being six years is kinda lolz if you look at my history.

2/22/2011 8:56:37 AM

They were packed Sunday for brunch until about 2 then it died down until 5 or 6

2/22/2011 10:20:18 AM

Anybody going to the anniversary thing on saturday? They're tapping some good stuff:
http://www.beerknurd.com/images/display.php?id=1089

2/24/2011 2:43:27 PM

we'll be there for a couple of hours...

2/24/2011 2:53:38 PM

I'm planning on going. I expect it to be very crowded.

2/24/2011 2:54:53 PM

You better show up when they open or you'll never get a table!

I'd go but I'll be out of town. CO for skiing

2/24/2011 3:11:25 PM

^I highly doubt people will be sitting around for 11 hours straight... and I don't mind standing/sitting outside either, so I think we should be good. I gotta work a "pm shift" so the earliest I'll be able to get there would be 6. Tom- I fully plan on hitting you up when I get done and seeing if you are there

2/25/2011 9:18:08 AM

Sounds good. NyM410 and I had discussed arriving 730ish.

2/25/2011 9:49:48 AM

i really wanted to go to the FS while i was in town but i didnt...

2/25/2011 9:59:51 AM

^^awesome!! I look forward to it!


^where do you live currently? they have them in plenty of other cities (I would love to open a franchise, maybe in south Charlotte)

2/25/2011 10:06:45 AM

sounds like Raleigh had an incredible day. How was it?

2/28/2011 8:08:01 AM

It was pretty fun. They did their biggest day ever, but that was to be expected. I don't remember the name of the rare beer I had, but it was tasty.

2/28/2011 8:45:12 AM

what is this huge hammer i see you with?

2/28/2011 8:48:22 AM

They had a hammer specially made for tapping some of the rare casks they had!

2/28/2011 12:43:01 PM

too bad biofreak never made it out that day.

2/28/2011 1:20:57 PM

tis a shame... if anyone wants to go this afternoon and help me make up for it, let me know (would need to get there before 4)

2/28/2011 1:25:09 PM

why before 4?

2/28/2011 1:27:00 PM

so I can be home by the time you are

2/28/2011 1:28:23 PM

ahhh....so what's for dinner then? Or are you bringing me goat cheese pizza?

2/28/2011 1:33:49 PM

well we do have the option of doing dinner there if you like (i still haven't heard back from anyone)

2/28/2011 1:59:39 PM

k...I wouldn't mind...just as long as we're not out late. Just keep me posted.

2/28/2011 2:02:29 PM

thanks now i know what yall will be eating tonight!

[Edited on February 28, 2011 at 2:09 PM. Reason : ..]

2/28/2011 2:09:40 PM

Ever since Jeepin4x4 lost his shit over the fact that I would ask for dinner suggestions on FB, I have made it a point to let everyone know what I will eat


IF we end up at FS, I will have the Big Dipper and cold potato salad- consider yourself informed!

2/28/2011 2:18:04 PM

I will be having Rocket Tots & Pretzels (w/ cheese dip & ridiculously spicy mustard) this evening. As well as the twins if everything works out...

2/28/2011 2:19:19 PM

Yeah I'm gonna say it. Jeepin checks in on FB way too often. Boom. Roasted.

Service was unconscionably bad on Sat night. I mean I know it was busy but wow.

[Edited on February 28, 2011 at 2:50 PM. Reason : Still love you FS]

2/28/2011 2:48:17 PM

at least they had an excuse then... they used to be terrible on any normal saturday too- I mean one trip every 45 minutes to an hour by a waitress to your table bad... even double fisting couldn't save you then


but I've come to except these things= oh well. Anyway, are any of yall (locals) going tonight? we are still trying to decide

2/28/2011 3:28:22 PM
