St. Lamvinus or Cherry Adam FTW? I rarely go out of my way to acquire things other than locals from other parts of the country, but I'm setting the bar medium/medium-high for a wedding treat to myself. I realize there's probably a big gap in what each cost, but availability/bottle count is a bigger player in these parts. What's more .rar? I'd like to chase down the lesser of the two. Thanks
St. Lam occasionally comes up for online sale, and CAftW is a yearly release. Don't know when the release is though, when is your wedding? What am I talking about, get both.
Wedding is mid-May. It would be hard enough for me to get one, let alone both. (unless I can find St. Lam online)
CAftW is a yearly release (except for 2010). This year I believe there was just over 1000 bottles, $12.50 each, last release was on November 10th. St. Lam does show up online and at a few stores. I believe around the $30 mark. Both delicious beers, and Brady is correct, get both.
They're probably about the same, to be honest. Neither is impossible, but neither is going to go for simple locals.
