    I don't come on here offering sound financial advice. I state my opinion on beer, and yea I have drank a hell of a lot of this one. We drank a bottle or two of BA Yeti every night for about a month after its release. At the start of this year I had 14 bottles of it in my cellar, I am down to four. Is $1500 on one beer between 3 folks excessive? Maybe, I never looked at it like that. Do I spend a lot on beer? Put I this way, I know what places in town offer case discounts

    Hey more power to you if you did, it just seemed like such a large number I thought surely you were exaggerating. Also, I am in no way commenting on whether the money you spent was excessive, I buy so much lambic that I have no room to talk. Cheers!

    Mother of god. Just finished my first bottle from this year while watching Game of Thrones. This years release is fantastic. I have to say that drinking a whole 750 by oneself is a task that ends with a serious buzz. Probably one to share. Just reviewed for the first one from this vintage.

    I've been seeing some BA ruffian and quite a bit of BA yeti still around town. I might splurge for the ruffian, but honestly I don't think I've ever enjoyed a beer that was worth $25 or more. If this isn't the greatest beer I have ever had I will be disappointed. I love GD, but come on with the prices.

    I was in that store earlier today and didn't see any BA Yeti? Plenty of Oak Aged Yeti flavors.

    Aye, it was outside of the fridge on a wire rack. Saw the oak aged as well!

    They also had a few sanctification that I bought up on Thursday. They constantly throw random gems on the shelves it seems. I check in once a week.
