Anchorage Brewing A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL

What's the bottle count on this new batch?

 

I can only imagine what they charge for it. $55? $65?

 

Surprisingly well priced compared to the rest of the menu. $45

 

holy shit, that's amazing! I've passed on decent Bruery bottles there because they were $50+

 

Just had a bottle tonight with a few friends, can confirm still amazing.

 

I'm in LA and been waiting to grab one of these since I learned of its existence. I hope it gets here... I hope.

 

There are still bottles at Whole Foods on 4th street in Soma as of last Friday. $30.

 

Had one at New Years. My understanding was it was 2013 as well. It was fantastic!

 

There were roughly 10 bottles at my local store in Baton Rouge, LA

 

It already came and went REALLY fast here in Phoenix. Maybe more coming through the pipeline?

 

So sightings in AZ and LA? Slow train across the country...hope it makes it here to PA at some point.

 

I have not heard of any of this hitting Indiana even just from friends. I do know one person that did get a few bottles sent in from an out of state friend. I am fortunate enough to get a bottle, but only one. Drink now or age for a while? I have patience, I just want to get the highest potential out of it. Advice?

 

Tough to say since this is only the second batch. Had batch 1 relatively fresh and loved it. I always believe if you haven't had something, it's best to try it fresh.

 

I would agree. I always like to get two bottles. Drink one and age one. But I've been looking forward to this beer and wishing to get one since I heard about it. Now that it will be in my hands, I want full potential. I'm sure it's amazing fresh, but I would really love to get it at it's peak.

 

I guess I'm more so relying on everybody else who has more experience than myself with aging a wide variety of barleywines. So is there a general consensus that this beer would benefit from some time?

 

It will do amazing with time, but honestly, right now it's incredible. I lucked into a bottle from a customer who gave it to me, and I was patient enough to wait four days...the longest four days of my life. I would kill to have a case stashed away but for my only bottle, it was perfection fresh.

 

Was honestly too sweet for my liking. But I know some people like it like that. Just couldn't get behind it

 

One of the best beers I've ever had. Always looking for more.

 

Just landed in KC MO. 29.99 So be on the lookout if you're in the area.

 

This seems to be making it's way through the states. Did batch 1 get to Florida last year?
