$10 an ounce - 16, 10, or 4 oz. in the words of Walter Sobchak, "Has the whole world gone crazy?!!" Seems well above steep.
I'd like to start a public shaming thread similar to On Tap, but the exact opposite: "Overpriced in the Twin Cities". We can publicly shame things like $40 bottles of darkness and $1/oz for not particularly rare beer.
Craft Beer has rules for draught pricing at on-sale? Someone alert Uncle Charlie, STAT! I bought a bottle for the hell of it, and have heard nothing about it in the WOW! range, so maybe I'll just drain-pout it... (P.S. I'm just kidding. Some lucky trading partner or-other will get it.)
I liked it. I traded a bottle of PtE for it so I made out great, IMO. What are people expecting? Everything Todd makes to be mind-blowing orgasmic?
Yes. For what it's worth -and on-topic- the OP is correct in being a bit disgruntled, but incorrect in assuming that Long of Tooth is just "any-old" offering from Minnesota's most heralded brewery. What was this beer, again? A one-off bottle collaboration with De Molen or De Troch or De SantomariaChristoSophical Society of Leuven, S.A.? In other words, there were probably not that many barrels of this one which were even devoted to local draught distro. Make of that what you will. All I know is that my trading partners haven't been able to "zip-it" about Surly since about 2006, so we Minnesotans really ought to consider ourselves spoiled and suck-it-up*, price wise, at the bar. (*It's either -that- or seek out the Indeed seasonals. Hmmm... )
