    Obviously it is way overpriced(paid $32), but call me crazy I thought it was damn good. Craft beer is my one splurge so I don't stress over payiing to much for rare beer. If this beer were cheaper I would buy it often.

    My local ABC tweeted it out as a suggested Christmas gift. LOL I know now why they didn't post the price.

    Clearly priced wrong. They would be losing $5 on each one

    They were probably pricing it to move, cause they thought it was as much of a scam as we did.

    I bought two at $35, drank one and gave the other as a gift. A good beer, smoky and peaty brown ale that does have some alcohol strength to it. Slight smell of the Guinness stout, but not in the taste. Overpriced, but a very nice beer.

    No store is required to buy this. Why would any store buy it, then immediately price it below cost just so it "moves"? I certainly don't doubt that you found it at this price, but this is clearly a mistake by the store.

    I miss when guiness just made guiness. It's turning into a nightmare of a macro putting out a ton of fake craft beer.

    I think I'd still rather 7 of the 500ml bottles of the non-nitro Extra Stout.

    Agreed. The Foreign Extra Stout is quite good.

    Macros are exceptional brewers. Many "craft" brewers learnt their trade with them.Believe me they can match anyone else in the business. It's just a matter of what they choose to brew.

    Don't you sell it? I think I remember seeing it on the top shelf of the shelf right beside the door to your cooler. How is it selling?
