Just to give you an idea of Wholesale price from the 2/09 beverage book:

Keg
60 min - 1/2 barrel $135 ($130 3 or more) 1/6 BBl $66 (3/$63)
90 min - 1/2 barrel $180 ($175 3 or more) 1/6 BBl $82 (3/$79)
120 min 1/6 BBl $143

Case
60 Min $29 (5+ $28, 20+ $27.50, 30+ $26)
90 min $43 (5+ $42, 20+ $41.50, 30+ $40)
120 min $135 (no quantity discount)

Thats sounds about right. I've seen cases of 120 for $150-160 at a few places. Fairly certain the $135 is around what they charge at the brewery as well. I bought a case there last summer, just forget the exact price.

I am sure that there is probably simple sugar in there too. The point I am making though is that making a big enormous hoppy beer like this is not the same as making your own English Bitter or whathaveyou. I dont believe it is as simple as "just make your own, it is only an IPA".

Absolutely ridiculous! 90 Minute costs me 18/6 or 56 / case.

It is boiled over 120 minutes with hops added on a regular schedule over that entire 120 minutes. I have brewed a 90 min clone and measuring out the hops was a pain.
