    I know I shouldn't but I'm sure I'll buy multiples of more than one of these like some kind of unstoppable moron.

    Tell her it was 50 bucks and just remember it's not a lie if you believe it.

    Just show her the beers, she will never guess or even think that 4-5 bottles added up to a hundred dollars worth of a beer!

    Thanks for the info. I haven't had either of the new sisters but after tasting the original three sisters side by side against Consecration and Supplication I was amazed at the noticeable gulf in class. Admittedly this may be a harsh judgement but it really took some of the luster off the Goose sours for me.

    I'll be passing at these prices and work on trading for more RR instead.

    Much more than those actually. Those are all under $20 for a 750ml. So Gillian is 50% more than that.

    Not the case at all....It's selling that fastest of the three. Say what you will about Goose, but I think they know their customer base. We like to say we won't buy any, but many of us still do.

    Like the frog that didn't know he was being slowly getting boiling alive, I know that I would have bought many more bottles of these beers had they been released 1-2 at a time throughout the year. So, for the sake of my bank account, I guess I'm glad all 4 dropped at once?

    dont worry guys, goose is only releasing 5 BCS's on black friday probably to the sum of over 100 bucks. You might as well set a paycheck aside for goose in fall for the next few years.

    I'm honestly ok with the pricing on Halia and Lolita. It's when you creep closer to $30 like Gillian where it becomes rich for my blood. I will say props to Goose Island for the bottle design. Some of the nicest looking bottles I've ever seen

    They do look and feel very nice, I also like that they put the year on the top of the cap cover; that should be useful for the cellar.

    My girlfriend stopped at a liquor store that is usually really good on pricing, but I think they entered he wrong prices into the system. Every bottle was $29.99 except Halia which was $22.99. Makes no sense. I called and spoke to a sales manager, who didn't know the beers at all or even that they just came in. After looking them up said the prices were correct.

    The amount of Lolita out there is incredible. That stuff should be around for months.

    Remember, the plan is to have Lolita as a year 'round product.
