    Yeah, sounds like they screwed up on that one. Was hoping it was the other way around.

    Was ~$23/bottle at the brewery release. I can confirm that price as I was at the release.

    I can imagine the sticker shock when seeing prices this year vs. last year.....but it's still going to sell at the increased price.....so...why shouldn't they sell it for more if people will pay it?

    Think it's far to give 4 hand the benefit of the doubt. According to this article from 2 days ago if they put last years in a barrel in 2014 it was $54 per pound. In 2015 it shot up to $133 per pound.

    Yeah, I have no reason to believe they're not being truthful. Looking at how quickly this shit is selling, if they cared that much about a cheap money grab, they'd crank out more of it.

    How do I tell if the bottle of Madagascar I have is 2016 or 2017?
