2017
On March 1st, 2017, Ash Wednesday–marking the beginning of 40 days in the desert, an SBC first happened. An email was sent out to all members, asking them to opt in. Membership levels took a drastic hit, with Killer being the first to abandon ship. Darin, Bobby and Gary quickly followed. The future of the SBC was in question… until eight faithful members chose to stay in.
The current membership numbers now make it possible to bring two high quality 4-packs. #MakingBeerClubGreatAgain
Beer Advocate, the site we use for our scoring, changed their system causing massive chaos and confusion in the SBC. Thankfully, we have en excellent president, Kenny, who is at his best in times of turmoil (truly, the Jon Snow of Arlington). He quickly updated the scores and restored mediocrity to our rankings.
Update 10/3: Beer Advocate sucks. SBC switched to Untappd’s rating system.
