Goose Island Juliet

Sure it's a fair question, but wildly innacurate and pretty shitty.

This is correct, by a LOT. Hence the price increase. If you see it for less, someone wasnt paying attention to their invoices.

Yeah it came in late. The dock was jammed with trucks, they couldnt back in, had to come back. Always be aware that "Should be here tomorrow" is a best case scenario. If the truck crashes or something, well, there you go.

See above on pricing. And yes, there's less.

 

Vav is it just less here in distro? or less produced there's a difference...

 

Less produced. It's a finicky beer.

 

all though I agree it's finicky but how so more than Lolita? ( I know you don't work for GI and don't expect you to have an answer)

 

I dont know the science behind it, but it's a Diacetyl bomb unless cared for a like a sick child. I'd ask Laffler on twitter or something.

 

As in more the brewery has to care for it or as in we have to properly store it?

 

Sorry, meaning the brewery looks after it. The bottled product is ready, otherwise it wouldnt be bottled.

 

I asked at the dg binnys today, and they said next week. Famous in Lombard had about 8 bottles on the shelf this afternoon, if that helps, $17.99 each.

 

I noticed that Juliet is labeled 2012. Was there a 2011 Juliet or did they skip a year due to the scheduled 2011 release being delayed?

 

Fair enough. I'm still a huge supporter regardless of ownership. From what I'm reading, it is the distributor that increased the price. Is that correct?

 

Here (here) is a tweet that says it went up by $3 last month (as others have said.) I imagine that increase is by the brewery? One would hope that the distributor can't unilaterally institute a 15-20% price increase. Seems like that would be way out of line.

 

yeah there was no Juliet in 11'

 

Passed on a $22 bottle today. Four on the shelf.

 

So I bought 2. One for me and one for a buddy at Binny's for $20.. Apparently he doesn't want it anymore.. Anyone in the Chicago downtown area that wants to pick it up around the loop can get if for $22 (for the tax as well) if they missed out on the Juliet as all the Binny's in downtown ran out the day it arrived. Otherwise I'll just trade or return it.. Not looking to travel so please come downtown where I live/work.

 

Hey.. Bottle is called for.. Thanks though pmoney.

 

This hitting Indy this week?

 

Seen it at an Armanetti's @ $16.99, they had 3 cases.....lake-in the hills?

 

Holy crap! Were they on the sales floor or behind the counter? Wonder how long it'll last?

 

it's not the one in Shorewood he doesn't have it yet...
