    wasn't double barrel ISLBS 54.4% more costly per oz than this?

    750 ml (or 25.361 oz) @ $48.84 = $1.93 per oz
    32 oz @ $40 (not sure if taxes / fees included) = $1.25 per oz

    Highly doubt it includes taxes/fees. Looked back on my fees on Obsidian Throne were ~14%

    Double Barrel ISLBS was $35 plus tax, IIRC.

    that’s right - I hit 4 instead of 3 when I was double-checking my math, and uncorrected my initially correct numbers because that is consistent with my day / rolling calendar year

    While I really liked Catch Hell, for me it was really just well balanced. I'm not sure the double-barrel treatment will automatically lead to an improvement here.

    Apparently the lofty price tag includes $2 of gratuity for HA employees

    I balked at the price at first glance too. But if you think about, it's cheaper than a lot of things these days. I'm looking at you subpar BCBS variants over the last few years. What are non-BA stouts from Side Project running these days? $25-30 for a bomber or somewhere in that ballpark.

    I had the same reaction, then I remembered that I just paid around $19 / can for Cuppa to Maplewood.

    If you’re worried about paying too much tomorrow, I admire your confidence since we’re going to strike out without question.

    Imma laugh at you if you strike out on the beer but get a glass and truffles.

    I somehow don't have a HA glass. That feels wrong.

    @Jaycase can you cook up a Half Acre t-shirt that says Glass & Truffles (no beer remix)?

    Didn't see any new shirts for the release on the HA merch page but did you catch this on the Universe page?

    Am I hallucinating or did the post initially not allow proxies for DB Catch Hell? (It does now.)

    I read it yesterday and it did allow proxies. I imagine these are going to go...FAST...as result.
