DLD Barrel Variations

I'm sure these are delicious, but I just don't understand how a 300% markup is justified.

 

^^ hey that's me! i'm famous! woohoo! but yeah, the wife and i got two consecutive tickets and they both won. i saw a lot of winners walking around with their bottles, lots of luck at DLD this year.

 

Seems like there was about a 50% chance to get a winning ticket

Vanilla Bourbon - 934
Cognac - 534
Cognac Muerte - 817
Bourbon - 420
2705 bottles (assuming 6,000 tickets)

Holy crap, so FFF made $135,000 on just the barrel aged beers

 

Mad about waiting 5 hours for the pub's only barrel aged to be black sun.

 

Well this didn't take long..........http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-Barrel...aultDomain_0&hash=item2c64f33f5d#ht_500wt_922

 

Yeah they really cashed in on the barrel aged stuff this year. That price is insane. People will pay it, but they shouldn't ask them to. I think I'd rather have almost half a case of KBS.

 

I wish we could Threadshit Ebay Auctions.

 

That guy was too drunk to even spell "vanilla" correctly.

 

That's what a Winner looks like! Congrats dude!

 

It makes me sad how MANY bottles of the BA DL are on ebay already. I always expect at least 1-2 bottles of something to pop up after a release, but for something as limited as this to already have like 20+ bottles on ebay makes me sad.

 

this one already sold for 400: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=htt...hash=item2a1ccbfa6e#ht_500wt_1182&h=9AQGuYEJ3

 

You should subtract one bottle from one of those bottle counts. When I was leaving around 7pm somebody dropped one of their BA Darklords and they bottle broke and spilled all over. Im not sure white one though.

 

I didnt see it happen, but someone dropped their backback, which contained their allotment,BB Vanilla DL and a BCS Rare..all but 2 of the DLs broke....what a tasty looking mess that was

 

Because they want to make money.

 

I'm weird, I would want the $50

 

Seems as if everyone accounted for a pretty good sized payment for the Chicago brew pub!

 

It's interesting to see brewers starting to decide that maybe it's better for them to make money off the beer. Higher prices should eventually help with the supply problem we currently see in craft beer. World class beers priced a few dollars more than off the shelf beer is part of the reason it's so hard to get the really special ones. I've never had any of the BA dark lord variants so I don't know if they are worth the price to me, but maybe $50 will make people think "do i NEED to have this beer" before freaking out and also entice breweries to make more of it. $135k might help with making it worthwhile to buy more barrels or space.

 

Bourbon says out of 688, not 420.

 

I have seen a 688 and a 420. Anyone have any details?
