Sebago Brewing Single Batch Barleywine

grabbed what i believe was the last 3 bottles of sebago barleywine at manchester wine and liquors ($9 each, hoho).

i'm guessing this means it's time for hartford county BAs to check places like m&r (glastonbury and south windsor especially), sonoma in glastonbury, harvest or whatever it's called in west hartford. amity probably got some as well, but i don't know (distributions strangely inconsistent across the state for most breweries).

haven't opened one yet. looking forward to it.

 

dont blame you for that stance, but you have missed out.

 

Anyone see this in the South Shore? This beer has eluded me for so long

 

Is there any more of this kicking around Boston?

 

Had one bottle last year
Truly worth seeking out

 

If anyone is still looking for this and can make it to Tonys in Haddam then I still have a few bottles left. A certain CT brewer wiped me out of half a case but I was able to get more!

 

this beer is 13.99 in CT. ouch.

 

99 cents more than at the brewery. Worth every penny imo.

 

RSVP in Portland still has cases of it left, 11.99

 

What do you normally pay for barrel-aged barleywines?

 

last barley wine I bought was class of '88.

 

It's not so much the cost itself that's distressing, but the increase: the last batch of this beer was all over CT for $9. Yeah, that was a terrific deal for a BBBW, but a 50% price hike is always going to sting a bit.

 

Class of '88 isn't barrel-aged, so that won't give you a good barometer.

 

Fair point there. This was my first time purchasing it and the Bourbon County Barleywine is the only one I can think of that's cheaper for comparable quality.

 

yea i know.

 

I have mine priced at $9.99. A few left. Tonys in Haddam. Call first if you want.

 

Saw it at Spirit Haus in Amberst last week. Did not check price

 

1) picked up a bottle at the wine thief in new haven, $10~. I think there were 2 or 3 left (at least 1).

2) fully agree with rekrule's response to me on the previous page: this year's is amazingly even better than the last one. i suppose it's no longer a "sleeper hit," but it is excellent. love the depth they got out of this beer, and love that i have 3 more bottles.

 

Jealous of the prices you are getting, seeing as I bought it from the source. Still glad I have 2 more bottles. I think it's still a sleeper hit, it's stuck around for a while now. Fantastic beer. Enjoy.

 

Was able to get 1 bottle for $10. Just drank it on Friday night. Great beer. Definatley would by another if I had a chance, because I think it will get even better with age. They need to make more!
