Goose Island Sours

The amount of Lolita out there is incredible. That stuff should be around for months.

Do you know if they would like to do that with Juliet too?

 

I should point out that the prices went up, but so did the size of the bottle. The bottle size this year is 17.6% larger. Juliet was 19.99 last year if not mistaken. If you increase that by 17.6%, you're looking at $23.50. So the "real" price increase is about $1.50 per bottle or 6 cents per ounce. Not cheap, but it's not as bad as being claimed. And I think Lolita stayed at the same price point, meaning you're getting 17.5% more and not paying for the excess.

 

I wouldnt rule it out, but i havent heard any specific plans.

 

They won't be in Indiana, at least central Indiana for at least three weeks

 

I just bought a 765 of Lolita for $18 after tax in Madison at Star.

 

We know there's a shitload of Lolita. Any idea on the bottle counts for the other three skirts?

 

thanks for that info!

 

They've raised the price on Gillian to $39.99 now. That's FFF BA beers level there.

 

I'll be driving down to Indy Thursday / Friday and would be willing to bring a few bottles down with me.

 

Just paid $110 for all 4 at a local place. They text me when new stuff comes in and hold it for me of need be, so I don't mind paying a little more per bottle. But goose knows what they have and people are buying at those prices, so why not charge that much? Their reputation obviously justifies the higher prices if everyone is buying them.

I anticipate paying well over $200 for BCS and variants this year. Not to mention the amount I'll probably spend getting these beers on tap. At least it's only once a year...ish.

 

Are these seeing decent distro? Just wondering if I should keep a lookout here in Michigan. I figure I'd at the very least see some Juliet and Lolita.

 

I saw some Juliets and Lolitas bottled from 2013 in my store. Are these sours age-able?

 

yes

 

Probably silly question here but what happens when you age sours?

 

This post might be of some interest to you.

 

Grand Binnys had 2011 Matilda on the shelf today for $7.99. Bottle date 12/22/2011.

Thought, sure, why not?

 

I had one of the 2010 Matilda's that Binny's LP had on the shelves at the end of last year/beginning of this year, and really enjoyed it.

 

Yes.
