They cant, since we obviously see

I've called every store within a 20 mile radius of me and they all sold out HOURS after getting this. I don't think I'll ever get to drink this

^ They're all over the place here in Los Angeles. Is TX even a craft brew friendly state?

I'm not sure how to answer that. My initial response would be yes, it is. I've bought craft beers in many bars in Texas.

That being said, this article says "Texas has some of the most restrictive beer laws in the country" and that bills are being proposed to give more freedom to breweries.

Anyway it seems that all the stores that got this GoT beer only received 1 case each and of course it sold as soon as it hit the sales floor.

Gotcha. Yeah, I went in to my local spot to replenish my supply for Sunday, but since we never opened it last week, it was a non-issue. My contact was all like "you want another one?"

It's pretty limited supply in the midwest so far. Still not available in Oklahoma, but Ommegang says it'll be here this month. My friend went to Joplin, MO to pick up the four we had for my premiere party the other night because she's awesome. Evidently we/I only drank three of them so I still have one in the fridge for this Sunday.

Haven't been able to find it anywhere here, and my friends have checked pretty much every beer store. We are definitely a craft beer friendly area here on the Eastern Shore, home of Dogfishead and Evo.

So I guess this means Lannisters don't always pay their debts.

I am not one to harp on spoilers from the books but I, for one, am actually very disappointed to find out that even through season 5 (or is it 6?) we won't find out who Jon's mother was/is. I would rather not know that.

Why do people have such a problem with using spoiler tags, I don't understand the anger.

any talk about jons mother is all speculation, it's never discussed in the books, outside of briefly in the first one.

Yeah, maybe...

(minor book three spoilers...a character who tells a story)



All I know is that there is nothing that has aired in the show that at all questions his parentage, and if I were to come on here reading people with informed speculation about it I would probably be pissed. I know I was shocked that it got posted.

It was his sled.

I wish there was a separate thread for those that have read the books (though I guess this has been tried before). The threat of learning too much information takes away from the fun of discussing the show.

Exactly, you say something like "I wonder if we will ever see Jon's mother." and hear back (it's already been spoiled this thread):

Agreed. Just because there isn't an "answer" to something doesn't mean it's not a spoiler. Similarly misinformation is a spoiler because either you know what you just heard won't happen, taking it off the table (no matter how ridiculous it may seem), or you spend the whole episode half-invested because you think you know the outcome.

"I was so scared that Ned was about to die until Arya put an arrow through the heart of Ilyn Payne. Nice callback to episode one where she was better at archery than Bran!"

You know, at some point you should just not read anything about the show.

So do you think someone saying, "you'll never guess who Keyser Soze turns out to be" before seeing Usual Suspects for the first time wouldn't in some way dampen your enjoyment to of the movie? I know my brother said, "You'll never guess the twist at the end" before I saw Sixth Sense and I guessed about half way through. I doubt I would have been looking for it and had the same reveal most other viewers had and the movie might have been a little more enjoyable.

If you are going to say anything about the books that goes beyond where the show is simply don't. It's pretty easy. Even if it is to confirm or deny speculation or tell people that the info is never revealed. There should be a place to discuss the episode (and even speculate on future events based on what is seen, not what is known from the books) and not worry about reading info you don't want to know.
