Fuller's Vintage Ales

Just noticed on the Fullers website the rule about a maximum of 24 bottles per order as if they really are a very "limited" edition. On a side note I just cracked open bottle #39,113 of the 2014.

 

Is this a false market Fuller's are trying to encourage? Or are people actually paying £100-£200+ for older editions?

I picked up some 2015's at Booths supermarket last week, with the view of drinking one every year or so. Wondering whether to get a few more to hang on to?

Thanks to the foreign beer fanatics who thanks to the internet think it's one of the only decent British beers, and the British beer fanatics who are basically just enablers stocking up trade bait.

That being said however... I will try and buy one if I can.

 

Wow, didn't realise I was hunting a whale. I won't be part of it.

 

Bud. Grab some, you'll be like Greenpeace, saving the whales! (except in your cellar for a later date)

 

Would you cellar it though? I mean, it's already been aged right? Theoretically/hopefully to perfection, in the eyes of the brewer at least.
