    Ah, thanks. I read as these were Great notion beers from a series called cycle. Mystery solved.

    Enjoy

    For what it's worth, that works out to just over $35 a bottle, which is on par with their bottle prices. Another reason I haven't tried their offerings, despite hearing good things. It's kinda like Eclipse 50/50. Always want to give them a go, but just can't justify the price.

    I just looked at their menu when posting the link for @Giantspace and saw that the days of the week bottles are $30 from them on site. That's less of a Tavour markup than I was expecting. I'd definitely be more inclined to buy singles though instead of plunking down $250 at a time. The Ox by Holy Mountain just came up in my app, and it's taking all I have to not jump on that. I should probably just do it. $19.99 seems fair to me.

    $30 seems more fair. It's still a tough price for me though, especially since I don't enjoy all the flavor additions, typically.

    We had The Ox pop up a couple days ago. I am very tempted to go for it. Haven't had anything from Holy Mountain, and after this weekend's saison tasting, may be out of saisons.

    Purple drank is a solid one from the brewing projekt, not as good as orange drank but still a good choice. They are doing solid IPAs and sours there.

    Tavour going heavy on the bundles. Gotten 2 IPA bundles, a sour bundle and the cycle bundle all in a week. The IPA bundles have sold out before I log on though.

    Those bundles are a good idea, and I think they're giving extra money from those back to the breweries during this time. The sour bundle was very tempting. It seems like they've been doing pretty great business recently. At one point yesterday I had 14 options available in my app and 9 of them were already on "waitlist me."

    Not sure if this release is regional or one of their special releases but Anchorage's A Deal With The Devil just hit my app for $50 per can, one per customer. If I were working right now I'd probably pounce on it.

    Grabbed one. It was released nationally. App was slow as F had to download on iPad for it to go through. They threw up a s ton of b bombs as well.

    I noticed those B-Bombs, but I've heard some mixed reviews about how some of them have aged. I'd be a bit wary of the 2013 bottle. I had the same experience with the app, and so did a lot of local folks. When I finally got it to load and saw the price tag I had to bow out. At least I still have a bottle of Endless Ending in the cellar.

    Edit: Already gone. I wonder how many they had.

    I’ve had a few b bombs because they seem to rate well and was not impressed so I pass when I seen them.

    Ahhhh, I was wondering why my app was working so slowly a couple of hours ago. I was refreshing specifically because I knew they were dropping ADWTD sometime early this week. By time I was able to get it up and running, it was already sold out. $50 is steep, but I did go ahead and add myself to the "waitlist" since it's one of my favorite beers. I was going to ask how that works, but it looks like they just drop it in your crate if/when one becomes available. Good to know.

    Yea they sent an email yesterday was in my junk saying they were releasing at 3pst. I was refreshing like crazy and didn’t get added until 306 pst and then it just went slow. I added it a couple of times and it just spun and spun and then reset

    I would keep checking though just Incase. I’ve done the waitlist a few times and checked later and nothing was in my crate, but when I scrolled past the beer it allowed me to buy it.

    $50 a can! At least it was 16oz? I can get a 4 pack 12.7oz bottles of BA Flying Mouflan for under $50. Never had Deal with but can it be that much better?

    I'd be really curious to know what the same can straight from the brewery costs. I'd also like to know how many cans Tavour got their hands on with only 178 cases being made.

    As far as can it be that much better, I have no idea. I have a bottle of Endless Ending which is a blend of ADWTD and Darkest Hour imperial stout, but I haven't drank it yet. I did not pay $50 for that bottle, but it wasn't cheap. I will say that it's impressive that ADWTD has over 1100 ratings on here and is still ranked number 2 in it's style.

    I’ll let you know. My wife loves barleywine and the #2 BA barleywine is worth a small amount of money.

    All Tavour beers are selling out like mad these days. Endless Ending is almost justifiably priced based on how ridiculously delicious it is, but 50 bucks a can is pushing it for me.
    I noticed some of the pricier offerings on Tavour "sell out" then reappear months later.

    I've noticed this same phenomenon about pricier options reappearing later. It makes me wonder if they give up on trying to sell it for a while, or if they want to spread their pricier options throughout the year as some are only annual releases.

    I think the bottle of Endless Ending I have I paid $36.99 for through Tavour. That bottle was actually the reason I opened up my first Tavour crate.
