    Same. And, at $100 for a 12oz bottle? I'm sure it's delicious. But pass.

    Yes, suffice to say it's quite expensive, but you'd be (or maybe not?) surprised at how readily it tends to sell even at such seemingly ridiculous prices.

    It's not in my feed anymore. So I'm assuming that means it sold out already.

    It left my feed early, however it never said sold out, I assume that means it may have been under performing in my area.

    Must be underperforming everywhere, hasn't that been on Tavour since mid August? I'm embarrassed to admit that I can say it was really freaking good.

    Hows it compare to utopias?

    At this point I seem to start every crate because a Fremont bottle pops up. I think B-Bomb, Batch 5000, and 12th Anny were the reasons I opened my last 3 crates. Then I fill it out over the course of 4-8 weeks with lagers and a bunch of guilty pleasure stuff like Drekker smoothies and Smooj.

    Agree 100%, Fremont is why I am still on Tavour. Best brewery for barrel aged beer I've come across. Got a crate coming next week with 12th anniversary and 2 vintages of coffee cinnamon B-bomb plus some boredom induced filler. Hope those bombs aged well!

    Definitely Fremont and BA Anchorage gets me. I've got TO, 12th Anni, Rusty Nail, and Cycle Saturday all coming on this one. Never got to see B5K unfortunately. Day after my crate closes they drop 4 stouts on my feed - 2 or 3 of which were barrel aged. They know what they're trying to do.

    Apparently I've made it. King of Darkness just popped in the Secret Stash. $100 each, limit 2 per. Can't do it.

    Saw this one as well and was surprised at the price tag.

    It's a little easier (though still quite difficult) to justify the price for TOADWTD, but for a new BA Anchorage stout that seems like a lot to shell out, especially considering their standard prices are already about as high as most are willing to pay for a single 375ml bottle.

    The fact that it's a collaboration with Side Project seems strange as well since on paper this looks like a 100% Anchorage, 0% Side Project beer.

    Me neither. I'd spend $100 on a t-shirt though. That label is badass. Tavour pic doesn't show enough.

    I shelled out and got it. I expect the beer will be great, and I’m hopeful my bottle cutter will make me a nice keepsake with the label intact.

    That is a spectacular label.

    Agreed! I’m the skeleton and the lightbulb is the FOMO from the beer.

    Ha! Not the first time they've quoted me, so I believe you're right, they're stalking me. They really ought to comp me a King of Darkness for writing their ad copy. :slight_smile:

    Ive got you covered on any BA Fremont beer from here on out. No need to worry about B5K as well. :sunglasses::sunglasses:

    I look forward to my 1 oz finders fee. Babybirding optional.
