    I'm going to assume that's a "I don't believe it" GTFO rather than a literal GTFO?

    I will speak for Draheim on this one.

    Yes. Seriously, do people buy stuff from them? That's insane.

    Most of their stuff is OK. They get more limited stuff than a lot of places and are usually only a buck or two more than a grocery store. But 2012 Bigfoot went from $11 to like $18 because it was "aged". :rolling_eyes:

    I'm assuming they think Green Monster is super rare. There are pubs here selling it for $24...that should tell them something.

    Edit: I actually like their selection, I can choose not to buy those overpriced items, but it just doesn't encourage customer loyalty

    Green Monster was $16 (tax included) at 99 Bottles in Federal Way. $39 is highway robbery.

    Yes, it was a "GTFO bro, that shit be crazy."
    I could almost see charging $23 if you were a shameless, greedy, bloodsucking parasite. But $39 is seriously unjustifiable under any circumstances.
    Maybe they just put the wrong price on it? Last Drop had some bottles of BBXXV marked for ~$24 and I'm pretty sure that was just inadvertent error.

    I don't know man. I'm going to find out if it's right.

    Edit: I called, confirmed at $39.

    yikes. I didn't look at the price as it didn't interest me. some of their stuff is priced WAY too high.

    You just reminded me about the 50$ bomber of BCBS they were selling. "Super rare". Just when I was almost ready to take another trip out there. Thanks for saving me some gas.

    Do they still have it sitting on the floor of the Portland Pub? When I went in, it was overflowing.

    Can I just crash one of your bottles sometime?

    I have lost the motivation to even look for this beer.

    I bought one for $16. Not good at all. Super vinegary. It burned my throat going down. I choked down three sips and dumped it.

    Imagine how much you would have choked if you'd paid $39.

    Probably the most indescribable beer I have had this year...was all over the place, like it a lot though.
