    Don't think at $35 a bottle, you'll need to camp out. I like Eclipse but their price point may fail here.

    I'm affraid of the same thing..... I believe most casual craft drinkers are happy with the local selection now available here.....and will be hesitant to pull the trigger on a $25+ bottle.....and that brings up a point of the distribution customer service sucking....I messaged the Alabama distribution company asking a few questions and details on delivery....I got zero reply....I thought that it was a shitty move on there part.. for the reason there will be a limited amounts of people willing to pay the price of Eclipse. And feel they should have been more resourceful to help the ones that are interested......
    With that all said, I hope they are here to stay because I love Eclipse..

    I will most def be at the Hop City release party and will prob pick up at least 1 variant but $30 is approaching Bruery reserve pricing. A lot of cash when BBA Laika is local and sitting beside it at $11.

    Ha... I guess I can get customer service here!!.. I know you guys are busy getting things finalized.. just my point was that a $30 bottle will be sought out by a certain few beer geeks...and a reply any interest would have been priority, I would think.....

    The Makers Mark and High West Rye will be more limited than some of the other styles.

    We will not be doing a tasting at the release. It was a misprint and has been updated on their facebook page. Sorry for the misprint.
