    Stateline has an entry for FiftyFifty Eclipse. Anyone hear about this coming to MD?

    Anybody heard anything about when this is going to hit the area? I've seen hauls from MA, so I figure it can't be too long...

    Maxs has them. I don't know Maxs prices, but hear they are pretty pricey in the beer stores...

    As a reference for Max's prices, Parabola cost $25 a bottle a few weeks ago. Pricey indeed, but their selection is tough to beat.

    Yeah, not criticising Maxs prices, they are pretty comparable for a beer bar. Meant to say that I think the Eclipses are running close to $30 even in beer stores,

    Perfect Poor has them - Old Fitzgerald Barrel (Blue), Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon (Black), Bernheim Wheat Whiskey (Beige), according to their email newsletter sent out today.

    No idea on the price, but one can only imagine...

    I know I shouldn't, but now I just have to call them to find out.

    It's like watchg a train wreck on the interstate. You know it's awful, but you just can't turn away. :slight_smile:

    Not as bad as I was expecting. "Only" $40 a piece.

    Hell, that's not quite even double what I paid for the last bottle I purchased at Blue Dog during the annual wealth of riches event. If the PP isn't careful, they're going to lose their reputation for extreme pricing.

    At the PP, it's got to be $60-$70. Just an educated guess of course. :wink:

    Is there any way this beer is worth $30? I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, but I just want to check. I almost want to head to Fishpaws, but my common sense is telling me to stop.

    I'm with you. As I've got a bunch of BCBS in the cellar, not sure I want to spend the $ on one of these. Inhibiting the impulse, however, is easier said than done.

    Haha that's the hardest part.

    I got several Parabolas for $13.29 apiece. Hell, I hesitated to pull the $22 trigger on Bourbon County Coffee.

    I highly doubt this beer is better than the two I mentioned.....but I am so damn curious!

    Some of the Eclipse beers I've had have been amazing, and most are really, really good. $30 worth of good? That I can't answer. Comparitively speaking, probably not.

    I think you probably need to try a bottle and decide for yourself. :-)

    I think they are some of the best BA beers out there. Ordering them through futures drops the price a little each year. It's also fun to see how the different barrels affect the base beer.

    I have multiple futures set and think its worth every penny.
