Bourbon County 2018

Despite hating the pricing model, I would be awfully tempted to buy a bottle of King Henry for $100 if I found myself at Fulton. As a huge barleywine fan, this is one of a handful of beers that will most likely elude me for the rest of my life.

 

I picked up a King Henry Friday at Fulton and have no regrets. Would I prefer to have paid less? Absolutely. I would have loved to pay MSRP and still have a bottle for me to try years after release. I am not sure how to gauge whether prices on a beer is unfair or even arbitrary when there is only one place to buy it,.

 

Most likely made three separate batches of vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry flavored BC and poured/mixed all three together in the best tasting ratio

 

i was trying to convery they could be eaisly flipped flopped in those spots.

 

sorry. Was looking for a simple way to show those were about even for me. it really worked when i came up with it in my head. lol.

 

im pretty sure they adjunct post barrel now.

 

fair point.

 

I don't have nearly as much problem with an upcharge on King Henry (which might as well not exist anymore) as I do on GI's more "common" BA beers. For example, an upcharge on 2015 Rare would irk me much more than an upcharge on 2010 Rare, because one isn't particularly rare at all (and is relatively recent), and one is a bonafide whale.

Also, I apologize for continuing to add to the price debate; I know these sorts of discussions get kind of tiresome, so I'm only trying to clarify my point, and am not really trying to rag on Fulton. I do think it's fantastic what a variety of bottles they have for purchase.

 

Hmm. I didn't consider this side of it. I suppose it doesn't bother me as much for KH. VR which everyone knows they are sitting on pallets of is a different story.

 

There is now a bottle label for Prop per Tenemu...

Neopolitan- "Aromas of chocolate and vanilla with a slight strawberry finish"." What the f is that? Does it taste like chocolate and vanilla or only smell like it? And why a slight strawberry finish? It's BCBS it needs to be bold.

 

Seems labor-intensive. Highly doubt this is the route they'll take. It's not like they're a flock of neckbeards making rando cuvees at the end of a share....

 

There were several bottles there last night...

 

Speaking of bottles at Clyborn...

 

I can't see the tweet right now, what is it?
