Evil Twin Michigan Maple Jesus

Pardon my ignorance, I had forgotten it could be pronounced that way. Is there any word on the Maple Barrel Biscotti Break?

 

Only about 55 million people around the world.

 

One would assume that a beer brewed by a man living in Brooklyn with Danish roots is not pronounced the spanish way.

 

When the label is written in english, pronounce it as Jesus. When the label is written in spanish (Aun Mas A Jesus for example), go ahead and pronounce it in Spanish (Hay-Zeus). Case closed.

 

Perhaps, but that was not your question.

 

Except for when it is brewed in Spain, as the Jesus (Hay-sus) beers are.

 

Is it on shelves yet?

 

Looks like its hit Gold Star Beer counter, Beer boutique, and Brouwerij Lane in Greenpoint

 

Any Michigan sightings?

 

Guessing next week for us on the east side of the mitten.

 

A key part of that sentence is "living in Brooklyn." Never underestimate a hipster...

 

Place I went to (Shop Rite Liquors in Little Falls) sold me the last one $9.99. Said they went through 48 bottles (1pp) in a day.

 

I thought this was a fantastic beer. Always worried about the cloying sweetness with maple syrup, but I thought it was very well balanced.

 

I called one of the local shops in Maryland (the perfect pour) and was told Maryland wasn't going to be getting it.

 

Heard that prices could be as high as $30 per 12oz in Michigan due to the extra distributor fiasco we have going on here....

 

Picked up a couple of bottles at Union Plaza Liquors in Hazlet, NJ. Maybe 20 bottles on the shelf, no posted limit. $7.99/bottle. Tiny store with maybe 8 feet wide of craft beer shelf space, and some really incredible stuff. Also picked up a 4-pack of Lawson's/Otter Creek Double or Nothing maple barleywine. I really liked Double or Nothing when it came out, very surprised to see several 4-packs on the shelf this many months later. Drinking a bottle now, and it is much better now than it was fresh.

 

Can someone explain the MI distributor thing?

 

did the same.. didnt expect it there

 

Come on! This really bothers me. Unless it's at a bar you shouldn't be paying that. This is at grocery stores for $8 with no limit and no hype (although that is arguably overpriced too)

 

Looks like beer splatters on nearly all of those pretty white labels.
