I signed up for the super secret $500 package, where they pack your bottles and chalice in an exact replica of the Ark of the Covenant.

 

[Usofar]

If it was 22 2 Oz bottles.... I'd pay $100 for that.

 

[Usofar]

So at 6 pm they'll have $50,000 in cash?
That seems smart. And if they are releasing 1000 bottles, does that mean they're holding back 2000 to trade at secondary market pricing?

$10 for glass
$10 for pour
$40 x2 for bottles.

Doesn't seem too unreasonable. Isn't that around how much CFH, BA Speedway, BT varients, etc. cost per bottle?

Mornin' Delight is really good.

[edit] I guess the 100%+ increase in what they're charging is pretty lame. I think MD was $8 a 12oz bottle first couple of releases?

All those beers are barrel aged. Cost for barrel, time, angel's share. MD is an adjunct stout. Price is less of an issue than the 200% increase in cost from an originally pricey $8 12 ounce bottle.

There's only been one prior release. $10 for a 12 oz. bottle.

Beat me to it. That's pretty absurd. Of course you could probably just trade it for actually $40 worth of beer.

Crazy but ISO

Pfft drink one, trade the other for whatever you want.

There are plenty of barrel aged stouts that don't run BA Speedway prices. Your argument is invalid.

but yeah. price increase sucks.

still would pay it... like sacrelicio said - drink one and trade the other.

You forgot to account for the box. TG took a page out of Upland's book with this one. Really it's more like $5 for pour, $10 for glass, $15 for each bottle, $55 for box.

Who doesn't love box?

Bruce Jenner?

No she still does

Zero fuzz givem at its finest

 

[stxSS07]

Damn. Would have gotten in on this because I'm a sucker and it actually doesn't seem like a bad deal.

ISO tasting bros to drink that bomber with.

 

[pjl44]

Read the details. This sounds like a pretty good system. Although, how the hell is parking tight in Iowa?

 

[Minnesotaryan]

Forgot to put the disclaimer in my email, hopefully they still take my money

 

[sacrelicio]

Zero fuzz givem at its finest

Literally

 

[sacrelicio]

I sent in, I think I'll get on the list since it was 15 minutes after the announcement. Not excited about the cost but it'll be easy and I can trade one for something nice. Embracing my inner shitlord.

 

[mychalg91]

2 x 22 oz bottles @ $62.50 (with a 20% discount!)
with a free glass, free 10 oz pour, and a free commemorative box (!)

Seems like a steal when you look at all that free stuff they're giving you. Don't undervalue the importance of social media cred, either.

 

[Minnesotaryan]

I didn't put the paragraph in my email, kind of a bummer, but I guess I save $100

 

[jarrgal]

I will be there tomorrow morning. Any other TBers going?

Pulpit Rock will be releasing some beers that sound pretty good.

Also, for those making the drive to-and-from Minneapolis/Rochester, Forager will be releasing 200 crowlers of Pudding Goggles - 10.3% imperial porter that supposedly tastes like the milk in a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch - starting at 11 am tomorrow.

 

[JulianB1]

Hat tip to dontdrinkbeer for pointing out that the rules for this release event specifically mention no homebrew bottling equipment in the anticipation of shitlords hand-bottlIng their draft pours.
