Firestone 17 - Anniversary Ale for $29.99 ?

paid $21 when it showed up in Boston last December.
Life isn't fair. Buy it if you want to and can afford it.

 

In CA? That's a bit pricy. I remember around 17 I think. It didn't last Long enough for me to remember the details.

 

Where in Cali?

 

17th isn't good trade ammo? Wait a few, there's always a "completist" in the beer geek spectrum.

 

Should be around 23 or 24 bucks. Definitely overpriced by a bit but I'm a sucker for FW so I'd probably still get it haha.

 

I bought one for $26.99...

 

under 20 retail in almost any market

 

When 18 hits the shelves after oct 25th then yeah it will be more expensive. At the brewery store in Paso Robles they start at $23 for a 17th and get progressively more expensive. When I went they had 17-15.

 

They are definitely between $18 to $23 here in MD. Once again, like @Shroud0fdoom said, they don't last long.

 

Your in Cali? Your store is overpriced. It would make sense to be hiked that high if you were east coast.

 

Still a damn good beer though.

 

The suggested retail price is $23.99 per the press release. The folks seeing it below $20 are either mistaken or have awesome retailers.

Its a great beer though, so I might consider it (to drink, not trade) even with the mark up

 

Yeah, I can hardly believe people are finding it for under $20, and on the East Coast no less. FW's a local brewery for me and I've never seen XVII for less than $24 (at Barrelworks). Anyway OP, $30's a bit steep, but it's a damn good beer—if you haven't had it, I'd say go for it.

 

Specifically in Montecito correct? I know this bottle shop...I stopped by there about 2 months ago and they still had at least two cases left of 17@ $29.99. If you want it, buy it, cause your not gonna find it anywhere else.

 

Considering its been aged nearly a year, it might be worth $30 to you, ESPECIALLY if you've never had it before. I mean, if you were to trade for one right now, you'd probably have to spend at least that much.

 

Yeah I purchased 17 for $23.99 in socal. It was between $23.99 and $26.99 at all of the local liquor stores. 16 was around $16.99 if I remember correctly. Was kind of annoyed at the price jump for just one year, and personally I was not even of a fan of 17. It was ok, but I liked 16 better for $7 cheaper. Not to mention Parabola which I have seen for as low as $14.99 which is better than both of them. However given the fact that it's a pretty rare beer to come across this long after its release I don't think $29.99 is unreasonable. A little pricey, but not unreasonable.

 

Southern California $26.99
