    It depends on the beer - they are a gypsy brewery (no physical brick and mortar location) and brew the different beers at different breweries. Some have been brewed at Westbrook in SC.

    Bikini beer is fucking awesome! 2.7% IPA. Bitter as hell and mote flavor than one would expect. Two Roads in CT brews for them as well I believe. Falco is also very good.
    PRICES SUCK bit ill buy one in a while. If they had bikini beer in twelve packs at 19.99 id buy every week.

    Out of curiosity, what's the stupid rant on the label?

    I've met Jeppe a couple of times as well as Mikkel once - they were both pretty decent dudes and quite enjoyable to share a few beers with...

    I have no idea what if any distro it's getting, but I REALLY want to try the Brunello barrel aged Justin Blåbaer

    Too. Expensive.

    NOT saying they're not worth it, or that they're not perfectly-priced for the quality you get. Just saying I can't afford 'em.

    They make good beers, it's just too expensive for what you get. I tried Yin & Yang but thought it was so-so. I'd still like to try the Im. Biscotti Break at some point.

    I've only had Beaster Bunny, Yin, Yang, Lil B, and Low Life. Of those, only Lil B was even remotely close to being worth the money (that one was damn good).

    I felt ripped off by Low Life (there are WAY better pilsners out there). Why is it that every brewery with a little bit of success feels the need to produce every type of brew? I wish that if a brewery doesn't know how to brew good lagers, they would leave them alone. I think part of the reason many people don't appreciate a good pilsner is because there a so many mediocre-to-crappy ones out there.

    Overall, their brews seem very pricey.

    They seem to get it right when it comes to stouts and porters. I've enjoyed their Even More Jesus and have a couple of Biscotti Breaks in the cellar. Oh, and I just picked up Naked Lunch which I am looking forward to trying. I do agree with the general consensus that they are a tad overpriced.

    "A few times in the history of craft beer it has happened that a highly praised beer rises beyond mortal stardom into a higher godly league. Usually the recipe to make such heavenly drops is thick fudge-like body, pitch black color, amazingly overwhelming aromas of chocolate, coffee, dark fruits and muscovado sugar, obviously only made in limited amounts and most crucial of all – it must taste rare"!

    Got a 4 pack of Molotov Cocktail, needs to be aged to be drinkable. So hot.

    You do realize that the "rants" on the label are a joke, right?
