    On account of the label, I think they should rename the beer "Cowboy's butts drive me nuts."

    Seriously though, sounds tasty

    Prairie and Mikkeller have to be in the top 5 most overpriced breweries out there. Along with Lost Abbey, Hoppin Frog and Bruery.

    Prairie is awesome. Not overpriced. The prairie bomb is one of the best beers there is.

    Mikkeller is overpriced, Prairie is right on the mark. It'll be interesting to see who wins out on the pricing. I would image it would probably be more priced like a Prairie beer since most of the gypsy beers brewed stateside are more reasonably priced, especially the new Stillwater and Evil Twin 4-packs that are brewed in Connecticut and a bunch of recent collaborations.

    And on a separate note, hopefully they don't get sued:

    Awesome! Looking forward to it regardless of the complainers.

    A consumer good is only "overpriced" if consumers refuse to buy it. Neither of these brewers' products are "overpriced" if enough consumers purchase their products to keep them in business.

    "Cheap" does not equal "won't purchase" for me, and probably most of us, when it comes to beer. Yet to be disappointed with a Prairie Ale. Gold waxed Bomb was the bomb, wrapped in gold leaf.

    Edit: "Not cheap", duh

    Did you brew at De Proef, impressive because I am under the impression that usually no outsiders are actually allow to brew there except for the annual USA collaboration.
    How was the installation, supposed to be top of the world.

    Seems like they are fighting with everyone. Haven't had any Mikkeller in NC in a while, except at Total Wine purgatory shelves and undesirable leftovers at good stores. I contacted Mikkel himself, he has no idea why people can't get his beer. Shelton Brothers/minions were predictably douchey the one time I contacted them about it.
