Lost Abbey 375ml vs 750ml price

If you barrel it, they will come.

 

Because people buy it anyway.

I thought Track 8 was worth the price. Really hit the point of a bourbon soaked oatmeal raisin cookie. There is nothing in their 750ml repertoire that's even close to that. I'd buy that all day. Only other ones I've tried were Track 10 and Older Viscosity. All good but most definitely overpriced. OP what LA beer were you bummed out by?

 

When you find a $10 750ml of Cuvee de Tomme or Angels Share just point me in that direction

 

Prices of these beers make me weep in PA. $23 a bottle for any of the "higher end" 375ml's, but goddammit, that doesn't stop me from picking up Track 8 every now and then. I'm not strong willed.

 

Not worth it in my opinion, seen these beers numerous times, but I have never picked any up because of the outrageous price tag. So many other great barrel-aged beers for cheaper. I just don't get it either! I couldn't imagine taking a sip, and thinking there goes 2$!

 

Would easily take DDG over anything they put in a 375ml. A lot of the Veritas beers are also great, but yes, most of their releases are pricey.

 

correct and also may need new underwear.

 

I'd love to see the 750ml bottles around here at that price. The ones around here are $18.

 

I'd just love to see Lost Abbey beers here in upstate NY. I always pick up a mixed case when I'm in San Diego for work.

 

I second this. I had the same impression, taste wise too.

I also do like Bourbon Barrel Aged Santa's Little Helper but I do miss the 22oz bombers we use to be able to get it in.

More generally, I find The Lost Abbey's 375ml often don't live up to their price point. Still good beers, but definitely a bit pricey

 

The 375 ml are usually their barrel aged or sour beers. I've never had a big issue with The Lost Abbey's 375 barrel aged/sour beers, but I do wish they would drop the price. I know they sell Saison Blanc in 375 ml bottles for around $5 and Inferno in 375 ml bottles for around $7, but most 375 ml bottles run around $16 in my area.

 

Lost Abbey has priced itself right out of my budget with their bottle prices in PA. Not worth $23+ for 12oz of beer. And it's a shame too, because I love their beer (Sinners Club member from 2009). The only way I drink their beers is if I can find it on tap. I'll pay $7-$10 for a 10 ounce pour.

 

Over marked up, I prefer to buy Almanac barrel aged sours for a bit less and some local options for other beers. The biggest problem I have with the price point is not so much the price, but rather because it's priced so high it tends to shelf turn a lot and it's hard to find fresh enough to pay that kind of money for a beer. I don't mind paying a lot if it's amazing, but if it sits on a room temp shelf too long, there's no way I'm paying that much for it. So it depends on who's selling it, how they store it, and ultimately what else they have that's just as good/better for less.

 

Exactly, I mean you can have 3 Saison Blancs for one bottle of the other stuff, that decision making comes into play!

 

Carneval is amazing - fresh and aged.

 

They are in whole foods / giant eagles now...no need to pay more than like $16 these days.
