Half Acre (2020)

per Insta Variants are

Vanilla Benthic- 2x dose of Toasted Coconut and Madagascar Vanilla

XTRA DUBL Benthic- 3x Toasted Coconut and 2x whole bean coffee

Cherry Brandy Benthic- Cherry Brandy BA with Toasted Coconut, Madagascar Vanilla and Cinnamon

Old Ben Benthic- 2018,2019,2020 blend with Toasted Coconut and whole bean coffee

 

That Old Ben sounds so cool.

 

2 package options

Option 1 - 1 4pk of Benthic and 1 -2pk of all 4 variants

Option 2- 1 4pk of Benthic and 1 2pk of 2 variants ( Vanilla and Xtra Dubl)

 

I'm of the opposite opinion. While most of these have a similar flavor profile they all sound good to me (albeit cherry isn't normally my favorite stout adjunct).

Compare that to BCBS where only a couple of their variants sound appealing to me. Quality > Quantity

 

I think the first option is 1 mixed 2 pack of the old ben and the cherry variant not 2 of each

 

Yep you are correct.
Option 1 is 1 4pk of Benthic, 1 2pk of Vanilla, 1 2pk of Dubl and a mixed 2pk of Old Ben and Cherry Brandy

 

Anyone know if proxy is allowed? Haven’t got a response from their IG post...

 

I would wait until they post the ticket link with details. Should be forthcoming tomorrow I imagine.

 

I don’t think they have ever allowed proxies so I would assume no.

 

They did last year. https://www.halfacrebeer.com/news/2019-benthic

 

Sure did. My buddy proxied for me and we split the package.

 

There you go. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

 

They said yes to proxies on IG. Name of person picking up has to be on the order.

 

God damn you, stout season.

 

Who has guesses on price points?

 

From Half Acre post on FB:
⠀
"Option 1: Benthic and all four variants ~ ONE 4-pack of Benthic, ONE 2-pack of Vanilla Benthic, ONE 2-pack of XTRA DUBL Benthic and ONE MIXED 2-pack of Cherry Brandy Benthic + Old Ben Benthic.⠀
⠀
Option 2: Benthic and TWO variants ~ ONE 4-pack of Benthic, ONE 2-pack of Vanilla Benthic and ONE 2-pack of XTRA DUBL Benthic"
⠀



Package 1 has 10 cans....so my guess would be $125 or so total?

Package 2 has 8 cans.....so $100 or so total?

Valuing each at around $12-$13 a can seems to be in line with prices from the past. Last year was 24.99 a 2 pack roughly.

 

Last year the 8 can option (4 reg, 2 vanilla, 1 Double Double, and 1 Apple Brandy) was $129.89, so I'm going with well north of $150 for the 10 can option.

 

Half Acre said in the IG comments that each person can buy one of each of the packages, FYI for those that thought the 10 can options wasn’t enough alone.

 

Like these beers but at the price point I always seem to pass on the big packages. Normally I just try the variants on tap but that obviously won't be an option this year. I'll probably pass so more for the rest of you!
