    Sorry to distract from SP, but I can't resist sharing that it actually ended up being $400 lmao

    Oh my! I live in a poor Tavour distro area, so I likely wont see that one pop up on my feed. Guys I know in FL will have like 25-30 on their list at a time. Right now I have six.

    It’s insanity. Whoever pays that must not even care about money.

    I gotta be honest - I have a pretty high disposable income level having no kids etc....you couldn't get me to buy that box set for $375+tax+shipping if you held a gun to my head. It's nice that they allow you to buy two if you want!

    Yeah $375 is pretty fucked. I’d rather just get another BBT package

    Just cracked a Peanut Parfait. I'll admit I was disappointed when I first opened it back in April, but it seems to be drinking pretty good right now.

    But guys, gas is expensive up there, where practically everyone who lives there works for the oil industry, and are subsidized by the US government to live there and work for the industry, which is also subsidized by the US government.

    I mean, your tax dollars.

    So actually, you're paying even more than $400!

    Well to be fair locals got it for much much less. It’s tavour that’s the crookish, (tho gabe is still way over charging)

    that said my buddy grabbed a bottle for me last week

    Got my Angry Chair/SP collab bottles today. I mean I knew the little bottle was little, but honestly it’s laughable how little it is. Can’t believe angry chair releases so many bottles in this format. Somebody should tell them about 12oz bottles. Was going to save it until around the holidays but think I’m just going to chug it here in a minute. Sorry for the rant lol. Happy Saturday folks!

    beers don’t need to come in anything smaller than 500mL cans or bottles.

    I mean, I'd rather just get the same $ per oz in all sizes. If I could get 2 375ml bbts for $30/each vs 1 750 for $60, I'd get the 375mls every time. But yeah, being cut from 750ml to 375ml while not getting any more allocations kinda sucks lol.

    Hoppin' Frog does their 16%+ beers in 8oz cans and that's kind of perfect, even if splitting with a partner. I know they're not exactly the in thing, but it was definitely a good move on their part when they started doing it.

    Although I do agree with the previous poster's sentiment, for a pastry stout, it kind of kills the experience having so little. Decadence is kind of the point.

    500mL or bust. you can split it 2 ways and be satisfied or solo dome it and not be overwhelmed.

    500ml is overwhelming for me if I have any plans of being productive the next day. It doesn't mean I never drink them but it's rare

    I actually love the 6oz serving but wouldn't pay big money for it. I was a big fan of the 6oz cans that Westbound and Down was doing.

    Curious to see if any of these bottles that are going to be at the Cellar Anny go up for LC tomorrow.
