Blvd Rye on Rye 2012

Agreed. For the limited smokestack releases, I'd go with: Imperial Stout > Saison-Brett > BBQ = Rye-on-Rye > Chocolate Ale

They're all damn fine beers though.

 

Ugh, I am sure it is probably $14+ here in Houston.

 

$15 and some change after tax at Specs here in Austin so probably going to be looking at the same price point in Houston. It's good though...a worthy purchase.

 

wow, I would not have expected it to cost more there…still worth a try though, really tasty and 11% abv!

 

All SPECS locations set their own prices. Our limited smokestack releases are always $14 and change. I sure hope it doesn't go up a dollar! I did see Saison-Brett marked down to 8 something yesterday at a local SPECS.

 

Prices can be all over the place. I commonly find Boulevard's limited Smokestacks for $9 at HEB.

 

Chocolate Ale was $8 or $9 at Specs when it was around so I'm not sure how they figure the price point. Rye on Rye has been the most expensive selection I have ever purchased in the Smokestack series. Still haven't seen the Saison-Brett but haven't looked around for about a week...

 

Yea, I can see that. Several bottle shops I used to go to but found some less expensive ones that I frequent now, and more selection I might add. Cheers ~

 

I saw the Saison-Brett here today after work, but didn't notice the price, just that it was rated a 99. Had my eyes set on some local brews I haven't tried yet.

 

Chocolate Ale is usually 8 or 9. A fair price for Brett and BBQ was around 12. The Alon HEB(San Antonio) had both for 9.

 

I was very dissapointed with Gabriels in San Antonio on this one. HEB had it for $9change but sold out. I Then went to Gabriels who the day before also had it for $9 something. I got two bottles and was told at the register that it was now $12.99, way not cool in my opinion! I left the two bottles at the checkout and went across the street and spent $50 on beer. Too bad that greed got the best of them. I might want the beer but I wont be treated like your bitch.

 

Yeah, we were all a bit shocked by the sudden price jump. Sorry about that.

 

A

All good bro, not your fault.

 

Ahhhhh.... The benefits of getting a 1/6 bbl of Rye on Rye... Let me count the ways!

 

How much did that set you back Herf?

 

The same as any other Smoke Stack keg I've purchased. It was actually cheaper than a case (which I also got for trading purposes) and has twice the ounces of beer.

The RoR is a little hot right now. I am probably going to set this keg in my cellaring chamber for a while to mellow out.

 

We should stage a bloody coup and declare Scotty Dictator for Life of Gabriels on 1604.

 

Has anyone seen this is DFW yet? I heard Friday of last week but didn't hear anything about it since then.

 

STILL some available at the Specs on Brodie in Austin. Picked up a bottle today, and it was somewhere in the $15 range, if I recall. Hesitant to pay that much, but I'll try, figuring that I'm just flipping the Chocolate Ale refund plus a few bucks more to give this one a go.

 

Gabriel's just got 2 more cases.
