limited release beer question

The last bottle is pretty much just backwash.

 

I don't think it makes any difference whatsoever.

 

This assumes they're numbered in the order they're bottled. That isn't necessarily the case at all.

 

I'd have to go with bottle 576.

 

The Hops will have faded in the first few hundred bottles, always go for the latter ones

 

Numbering bottles is a marketing technique designed to get you to pay more for the same beer

 

Makes no difference.

 

I think last years 576 was better. This years was a bit off.

 

Only clarifying, are you calling out the issue of brewers taking "one" of their beers and barrel aging it, numbering, and upping the price? (Not arguing at all, just clarifying.)

 

"If you ain't first, you're last."

 

Just pointing out that they can take any limited beer and sell it in a 'numbered' bottle for a couple bucks more than they would sell it in a non-numbered bottle.

 

Aaahh, but the extra labor to number them justifies the extra cost.

 

There's no such thing as bottle variation, ask Levitation.

 

Shake and Bake

 

Unless they're sticking it in a barrel to age...I agree.

 

Well obviously a BA version of Beer X will be more than regular Beer X, and rightfully so. I'm simply saying BA Beer X in a numbered bottle will sell for more than BA Beer X in a non-numbered bottle, even though it's exactly the same product.

 

None of the above, since they do not bottle right it of the barrel. The beer is put into other tanks for clarifying and carbonation before bottling. Any flavor will mix up in there and there will be no difference.
