    I am trying so hard to buy less beer, then these $36 bottles float my way... trigger finger is getting itchy, these sound so good.

    yes @HouseofWortship that's $36 each for 750ml. makes those $20 4 packs of NE ipa look like a deal now :wink:

    seriously though for 100% spontaneous beer aged for 2 years + fruit it's probably not too far out if whack

    I'm in no way saying it's a wrong price, just that it's high enough to make me think twice. Next to BBT, it would be the most expensive bottle I've bought to go.

    Which beer is this? Is it at least barrel aged? Considering the benchmark is Cantillon and people are dropping $100+ a bottle for those, this price doesn't shock or scare me. This is on the high side, but not unreasonable (most top examples of US stuff is around $25). (That being said I did eventually take a chance on a 4 pack of the overpriced beer that will remain nameless and quite frankly you would have to pay me to drink it again)

    Pretty jacked for the Buckley release on 6/2. Reg, Bark Lord, Kentuckley, Canuckley(maple barrel) and Bring the Ruckley(Maple Rye barrel). Based on how Wake n' Cake turned out, im assuming both maple barrel buckley's should be fantastic.

    I made it and opened a spirit spring and because life is sticky at DLD. I enjoyed both as did those I shared with. Now to get ready for the buckley day!

    Did the email have prices for the bottles? I feel like I'm missing something.

    Last year Kentuckley was $27 so I assume all BA will be around that again ($1 from each sale was donated to Humane Society).

    That’s the set members can reserve, but members can reserve up to 2 sets. Last I saw they hadn’t posted anything about general limits

    Yep! I think last year the general public was the same allocation as members. At least this year there is supposedly a line for pour and bottle sales. Last year was 1 line for everything and not very smooth.
