Mikkeller Beer Club

Not joining myself, but $60/month for 6 to 12 beers/month is totally reasonable. $5 to $10 per bottle, not bad if it's mikkeller's best stuff every so often.

Shipping would really kill you though.

 

I suspect they will be brewing most of these out of San Diego...

 

Read above, if they are, they are still dinging you for $50 a month for shipping

 

Minus biscotti break, their beers are slightly above average for style. Just don't join and move on. Too many impulsive rookies on here.

 

They mentioned 6-12 beers for the club. If it's only six beers a year for the year at $864 that comes to $144 a beer. No thanks.

 

Biscotti break is evil twin.

 

Imperial Biscotti Break is Evil Twin, not Mikkeller. And they don't brew together.

 

In other news... anybody check out that list of sours for sale. *drools*

 

You know what, screw it. I signed up just to see what the inaugural shipment looks like. It'll be fun to get a mystery package from a quality brewer. Most of these clubs are much harder to get into, have perks that only apply if you live in the area, etc.

They aren't asking for a giant commitment. If it's not worth the money or I'd rather spend the money on beer locally, I'll cancel.

 

The George Carlin argument. Nice one! :-)

ps. great avatar

 

I'm not at all surprised. I stopped buying Mikkeller beers long ago because the price is way higher than it should be for what you get. What's really funny is they just opened a brew pub with 3 Floyds, so now they can over charge for mediocre beer, and make it limited far beyond necessity...$$$$$

Instead of worrying about boycotting AB INBEV sellouts, we should turn our attention to the breweries that play marketing games and try to get you for an extra 5 bucks a bottle for no real good reason.

 

Also, the time to move stuff around is a factor. Staging and freight from Europe is quite an enterprise. I worry a lot less about world beers now that such good new beers are available even at my cheap taco/sopa place. I had a Gibbs 100 Greensboro Pale Ale in a huge mug tonight for cheap, with great friends and great food. It is a different world and I'm very pleased.

 

"but also from our long list of friends"
Cantillon, Budweiser, who

 

except they state its not only their beers but also friends beers. God knows what you will get for your money......keep it up and get a free koozie. S/H I can only imagine will be a shit ton a month to ship overseas

Enjoy......I wont be

 

I wonder how many Spontan bottles they'll send out. No snark intended, just genuinely curious about the selection.

Obviously, I'm not in their target audience, and I already know where to get more than my fill of their beer.

 

We are not talking about the weather. We are talking about whether or not this is a good deal.

Enjoy

 

I hope you get bad weather every day for the rest of the year. Whether you like it or not.

 

Mikkeller beers tend to be shelf turds (I know, some hate that term, but I feel it is appropriate in this case) in my area. Why in the world would anyone pay to get them when I can easily go and get mark-down/clearance prices on them?

 

Seems like a good deal to me!
