    I see no reason why the collaborators would not be afforded at LEAST the gesture you're proposing. As I see it, they are the other half of what is making all of this possible. Without them, we aren't talking about any of this. Honestly, I would go as far as saying that they should be afforded a cheaper rate than those of us in the general public. Hell, that could have been done behind the scenes and I don't think anyone should have a reason to raise a stink about it. The fact that you wanted to be honest about it all speaks a lot to your character and that of Stone. I'm proud to be a supporter of this whole thing and am happy to see the expansion of such a great brewery span overseas. I also hope to benefit from this expansion as well (please come to Columbus!). Thank you guys for opening up the sales of all of the beers again. I was really bummed when I realized that I had gotten into the action too late and missed the first four collabs. Now I can gladly say that I will be owning all of these special brews when the time comes. Can't wait to try all of them!

    Anybody want a fun pie-in-the-sky dream scenario?

    How great would it be if Stone did a 12-pack of these collaborations like SN Beer Camp this summer?! Completely beyond the realm of feasibility, but it would be so much fun.

    The 50% off of their store was a nice perk. Am likely going to buy off the second helping in the coming week. Wish they would put that back up (If i have to make a drive to their east coast location it would be nice to be able to buy discounted swag).

    Let me get this straight...folks are mad/disappointed because the collab brews may not be as "rare" (a subjective term, obviously) as originally thought. If so, this is one of those everything-wrong-with-the-craft-beer-scene moments.

    You should let past collaborators get in on that too. I will even pick up.

    I was expecting there to be a special One-of-Each Collaboration Perk/Tier. It would have made it a lot easier instead of individually purchasing them all one at a time.

    Also, @StoneGreg, I got to meet Jeremy Moynier at the local Stone Tap Takeover (24) at Max's Taphouse. He got me quite interested in the Xocoveza Mocha Stout. Great guy, along with my favorite rep, Melanie Knepp.

    Didn't think I'd see this so fast. I got an email from my local package store mentioning a one time offer to purchase the Stone Indigogo Collaboration beers from the package store sometime in 2016 but need to reserve now. They are for the 1.5L bottles. Purchase one bottle for $59 or 3 or more bottles for $49 each.
