Avery Brewing - Uncle Jacob's BA Stout

Have these releases always been so expensive? DFH 120 is the only beer I had ever paid more than $10 for a 12oz bottle before I moved here. Granted, the Momi and Ross's were good beers, but $10-12 for a 12oz bottle is a little absurd to me.

 

This beer is good. I see the value.
I will buy it. I will drink 1
I will cellar 1

 

$1 an ounce isn't a bad price. Especially for the quality and abv of this one. Although I prefer Mephistopheles, ill grab a couple for the cellar.

 

As much as I hate the price, if it were to ever make it to the East Coast, I'd pony up. We tend to forget that this is higher ABV and approaches wine-pricing territory. No one would think twice paying $12 for a decent half-bottle of wine (375 ml). Most good dessert wines start at $15 for half-bottle. This is arguably higher quality for a beer than a comparably price bottle of wine and not something you'll be sipping on your porch every day. IMO Avery is much better with high-ABV offerings than with the regular selection so I'd expect this one to be special.

 

Buy 2 more and trade with me.... Seems like a better idea

 

FYI it came to the east coast last year (at least to Boston) and was selling at $15 a pop (as was Rumpkin). But I agree with your appraisal - although priced very highly, it's worth it when you consider the quality you're getting (and assuming you're not buying it every day). Also the abv is above 15% so you're essentially getting three drinks in a 12oz bottle; one could easily spend $15 on three buds at a bar.

 

Me Wants it

 

For realzies. 1 case limit, you can hook alot of BAs up!

ISO!!!!!

 

Yep, that's what I would do if they did that with DL

 

Now that you mention it, I gave a $15 Avery bottle as a birthday present. May very well have been the same beer--don't know since I haven't had any, but knew enough about Avery and the friend's taste to grab that one

 

Avery - please come back to Arizona ! And bring this beer with you!

 

I got last year's bottle in a trade. I would gladly drop $15 for a bottle. It was incredible.

 

Have you every been to Lost Abbey? Well over $1/oz

 

This sounds so awesome.

 

I'm sure we'll see it in Philly for a 100% price increase (not exaggerating).

 

There is still some of batch 1 on the shelves at at least one bottle shop. $17/bottle, so the markup is $5 over what they are charging for the fresh batch at the brewery. Not too terrible.

 

I loved Batch 1 so much. Will seek and buy this when it hits shelves in SD.

 

I'd buy a case if I was there. Maybe I need to see how far of a drive that is.... hmmm

 

I will pay this all day long. I was actually doing the quick math in my head for a case.
