    All I've heard about Two Claw is that they are still planning to can it but no idea when. With the upcoming releases I would be shocked if we see it before the end of the year

    I am not a fan of that beer. The coffee nose is awesome and the mexixan cake like finish is good but holy shit, there is this syrupy caramel mess in the middle that was terribly distracting for me.

    Please just grab and send all of these terrible bottles to me. I really enjoyed Cake Break, kind of reminded me of what in my own lil mind what Coffee Cake should taste like.

    I'd guess they will, especially with everyone dropping $$$ on BA Cakes...I was there for a beer yesterday and only saw 1 guy buy a full allotment...

    Cake break should last seems like no ones getting the full allotment.

    I saw that yesterday. They must be down to a few bottles left in the cellar. It makes the Pappy and Maple Bourbon Cakes look like bargains! :grinning:

    The only other thing I noticed is maple bourbon is higher priced than the 2014 double barrel version...must be super limited

    I've defended the onsite bottle list because it's great for people out of town but charging a $1000 a bottle to customers is embarrassing. How a brewery could have the audacity to print that list is beyond me, to have the arrogance that you produce a bottle that's remotely worth that price speaks volume.

    Sense of humor + if someone actually ponies up, sweet! I think we drinkers take the beers much more seriously than the brewers as a general rule.

    They've probably got like one bottle left and posted that as a mostly-joke and/or they knew it would rustle sensitive jimmies on BA and in the Facebook groups (and oh it definitely did there), so they decided to have some fun with it. I can't imagine they seriously expect anyone to ask to buy it. Hell, they may actually be out of bottles, or at least of ones for which they know the location. I've heard through the grapevine their bottle "cellar" isn't exactly the most organized setup...
