    Will people pay $40 for a bottle of pastry stout during a recession?

    I guess we're about to find out.

    Now delivering beer for $10, $75 minimum order, VA only. Selection of cans is getting low though, seems like they've dialed back the number of releases recently.

    I give them credit for making the effort. I do wonder if this is another nail in the coffin for the mug club though.

    Of course they're going to charge more than everyone else for delivery.

    The mug club was only worthy of the $250 back when you had to wait in line to get any of their beers. None of the following are worth my money so maybe there are benefits not listed here.
    • First Access to bottle release through our online portal
    • Online reservation and payment processing
    • Early Access to all release days (i.e. 2:30)
    • 10% On All Growler Fills
    • Free Pint and Growler Fill During Birthday months

    Can anyone comment on the current canned version of DOS? Debating whether or not to get a few 4 packs delivered to ride out the pandemic...

    Anyone try the Aslin delivery yet? Appears they lowered the price of their beers.

    Yes. Was lucky enough to get in an early order. I was able to get double and triple orange starfish. Received the delivery the next day. Rich Girl sucks.

    Given that you've been a little down on Aslin, do you have friends that try batches before you make an order like this? Just curious.

    For obvious reasons, it's not feasible for Aslin to have people lining up for Saturday stout releases right now. Based on the recent uptick in release frequency on their flagship IPAs, I suspect they're taking this as an opportunity to dial in their hop game on the new system. At least something good may be coming from the present circumstances.

    I'm sure most people following this thread know but Aslin just opened up Shipping throughout VA & DC this morning. No minimum order qty, 2 case max and shipping seems reasonable. Did a couple sample orders and living in Central VA it came to 1/2 case = $18.56, 1 case = $22.63, 2 cases = $35.26 shipped to my house.


    Now if they go The Veil route they could realize shipping calculations were off and costs may double in a few days once they actually send a few out and get actual costs back from the shipping carrier. :grin:

    Can anyone vouch for their recent IPA releases?
