    I've seen 4-packs anywhere from $15-$19.

    Boston Wine Exchange? I stopped in and saw the $21 price, laughed out loud, and left. Convenient to my office, but give me a break. Their pricing is high on everything though, so at least they're consistent in that regard.

    because the brewers/breweries haven't been playing up the 'limited, we're almost out, get it now' mantra?
    Akin to another brewer saying 'don't arrive before 8:30am for the bottle release'....

    don't hype something and then expect people, shops and the like to play 'fair' or listen to your 'wishes'

    Where was the hype? I didn't see them say anything except it was limited..... because it was, in fact, limited.

    Yea their pricing is getting more ridiculous as time goes on. I didn't see the price so I was pretty shocked when it rang up at $21, although in retrospect it wasn't so bad since even Julio's was selling it for $18. I laugh out loud every time I see them trying to sell sixers of 'Gansett for $8

    Am I the only person that thinks this beer is excellent for a commercially available(albeit limited) release?

    It's a pure Nelson bomb! If people are concerned about price, then you are in the wrong hobby. Drink beer, dont complain on the internet about price.

    I completely agree! 4.99 a bottle is a tad steep for a 12 oz, but I thought it was incredible. The hop aroma/flavor and clean finish met the quality you'd expect from a Lawson's IPA. Also, didn't have to drive to VT to get it. Win win.

    There is a difference between complaining about the price of a beer and asking what others are paying because you feel like one place is ripping you off. Hell, i even mentioned in my original post that the pricing was in line with similar bombers. But based on the responses to thread I would say I was correct and that pricing was way out of line from what the brewery intended.

    And it is a good beer.

    Reason on discrepancy is most likely due to the shared SKU to Otter Creek RIS($10.99@Granite). Based on standard mark up on invoiced price, pricing should be found at 17.99-21.49. Granite priced singles @$4.99 with a 2 bottle limit.

    Don't hate the brewer, hate the distributor and retailer.

    Maybe they don't need the CT business? It boggles my mind, but oh well I'll have to take fresh Gandhi every few weeks :stuck_out_tongue:

    $277 for a 15.5gal keg. Outrageous, but I smiled as I forked over the $$$

    This beer is really bursting with glorious Nelson hops.
    While DD is the better beer, I'd rather have a 12 of Larry or Flower Power any day over 4 of these for roughly the same price.
