Goose Island Juliet

You're right, the Madame Rose is 2010. Funny still finding it on the shelf in February 2012...

 

Where did you find a madame rose 2010?

 

Did this hit the burbs yet??

 

Ok I gotta find some of this in Michigan, hopefully Im not too late.

 

has hit in some places in the burbs, though still looking for one for myself, seem to be an hour to a day late when looking

 

Alright, man, i must have missed that. Ill call today - thanks

 

There's a ton at Famous Liquors on Roosevelt and Main St. (Lombard). I think it's around $17. Not my favorite, so I passed.

 

Woodman's in North Aurora has some for $6.99

 

Just reported on ABC that their beer manager ran into oncoming traffic. Poor guy.

 

Is this worth chasing for 17? I'm just getting into sours and I really like them, but that's steep for me right now.

 

and you bought the last of it...

Woodman's in CV is out... Malloy's in GE is out.

 

if youre like the average person, i am sure if you dont spend the $20 on Juliet, youll just spend it on some other crap you probably dont really need, and that isnt as good as Juliet

 

I was just going off of what people said it was going for. I haven't actually seen it at that price.

That is a good point.

 

At the GI Clybourn brewpub. I haven't been since, but I think they had about a case in the "to-go" fridge in early February. They were over charging for it at $25 per bottle, which I thought was a rather ridiculous mark-up on a beer brewed in house.....and retailed for $18 anywhere else.

What's hilarious is that I think the reason for the mark up might be that GI Clybourn may have to buy the Madame Rose through an AnBev distributor since they're technically separate legal entities since the buy out, and Madame Rose isn't made on site. Wouldn't that be something.

 

I'm pretty sure they were separate entities even before the buyout. So they have to get beer that isn't brewed on site (including King Henry) through distribution. Someone can feel free to correct me on that. $25 seems pretty average for a bomber of GI's reserves at a bar. Can't recall seeing it cheaper this year.

 

yes M Rose was not brewed at Clyborne and would have to go thru the distro channels...

 

I wouldn't have minded paying $25 for a bottle at a bar/restaurant, but normally bars have rules like 'you have to drink it there'. When a brewpub has a storefront, I expect to pay beer store prices, not bar/restaurant mark-ups...especially for a beer brewed in house (well not technically, I guess, lol).

 

If anyone is still looking, there is some Juliet and Lolita on the shelf at Sal's in Elmhurst. $21.99 though
