    I can't believe how much BEVMO marks up there bottles
    so ridiculous Firestone walker should not sell to them as they was 24.99 at the other spot I got it for $19.99
    BEVMO is a joke will never shop there again

    24.99 isn't really much of a markup. FW sells the bottles for $24/25.

    Breweries usually sell for more than retailers to keep the distributors happy

    One of my local liquor stores was trying to sell 18 for 39.99. Needless to say I am never shopping there again.

    Now that is marking it up.

    Whole Foods had it for 22.99; think that was quite fair.

    Was at Barrelworks on Friday and 18 anniv. was going for $23.99. They had 16-18 anniv. on draft, and while all we're great, I enjoyed 18 the most.

    Agreed. Craziest part is I live 20 minutes from the brewery.

    20.99 in Sac is a pretty good price then. i thought XVIII is one of the better ones they've done.

    Bevmo will price match total wines price of 19.99. At least mine did. Bought 3.

    Yes, had it last night, I think it is one of the best I've had, which is about the last 5

    Good to know. 17 was alright, but I greatly preferred 15 & 16

    Interesting to hear the glowing thoughts of 15. I thought while it was still very good, it easily my least favorite dating back the the first one I had, which was 12. Felt thin compared to the others and just didn't do it for me as much, but I felt they got right back into form with 16 forward.

    of the 4 I've had 16 and 18 are the best. 15 and 17 come in second.

    Pretty much all the LA area Bevmos have it now. Burbank and east Pasadena for sure. 23.99 but they knocked 3 bucks off for club bev. Pasadena had it in the back 1 bottle limit. Burbank had it on the shelves with a sign saying 1 bottle limit but I grabbed 2. They had a lot so I don't feel badly about it...
