    I lost 25 pounds over the summer drinking Arrogant Bastard Light- way better then the Keystone Light I was drinking.

    I had this beer last night, very good but don't see the connection to Arrogant Bastard.

    Red Wheelbarrow = average amber at an inflated cost.

    2013 = average pale ale with a touch of belgian yeast at a even higher inflated cost

    and no Im not a MBC hater just a very unimpressed consumer as of late.

    I thought 2013 was mu biggest waste of $10 in several months. Good beer not great. Red wheelbarrow is awesome though!

    I thought Red Wheelbarrow and 2013 Anniversary were both good beers, even very good, but not stand-out. Several of MBC's recent releases have been pretty similar in character, not really much variety going on.

    I will not complain about price. $6.99 at the tasting room.

    Completely agree. Luckily it was only a waste of $7 here in Maine. Thought Red Wheelbarrow was good but at this point none of their new releases recently (including Weez, Another One, Lil One, etc) have stood out to me. They all kind of blend together as one decent but not spectacular beer that isn't worth the prices they charge IMO. At this point I generally buy one bottle of the new release to try it but never go back for seconds as there are either better beers available at that price point or equal quality beers which simply cost less.

    You know you can brew a Jack's Abby clone for $27, right?
