Bullfrog Grrrz Release

[Beerontwowheels]

Speaking generally, it would take an idiot to lower prices on a product that people get on line 5 hours before opening in order to buy. I'm actually surprised beer prices on limited release stuff hasn't gone up even more. For every person that won't buy at a $30 price point, there are 5 others more than willing to take their place at a $50 price point. Sad... ... but true.

I wholeheartedly agree. Can't say I'd price it differently.

Lost Abbey certainly makes a killing with Veritas and Cable Car. But then we have breweries at the other end of the spectrum, like de Garde, who price beers much more in favor of the consumer. Those are the breweries I'll support for a lifetime.

Probably shouldn't have started down this road. I have a lot of respect for Nate and the owners at Bullfrog. More power to them. Keep pumping out world class sours.

I 100% agree about Nate and Bullfrog... everyone should keep in mind. We live in America. Wanting to make money from selling a great product is not a bad or shameful thing.

Thanks. That's kind of what I suspected. Was hopeful all bottles at one release bc of travel, wallet was not looking forward to it. So good/not good for me. Oh well, still psyched to go, hopefully

Why does this have to be on the same weekend as Jackie O's release?

Apparently May 9th is some kind of beer holiday. Tons of beer releases/events going on...

 

[BadJustin]

In. See you panty munchers there. Better hope I have my abdominal drain out otherwise I got a sweet plan to keep the neck beards away from me.

What else is releasing that day?

 

[lambandtunaphish]

What else is releasing that day?

Allagash Friendship Blend Event
Two Roads thing
this
Jackie O's
...

All things someone in the northeast could reasonably try to attend.

 

[skrip]

i wouldn't be surprised if theres a Tired Hands release too

 

[bsc]

TIL reasonable is equal to 12+hrs of round trip driving

Non-ticketed event, announced a month in advance, of a hyped beer.
No way this will be a **** show, no way.

12 hours round trip is roughly NJ to HF, which people do all the time.

 

[tehzachatak]

Thank god I'm going to Allagash because otherwise I would be stupid enough to try to go to this.

I grew up in SEPA, hate the VT->PA drive with a passion. No one tell my mom people drive that far for beer or she'll start expecting me to visit more often.

If i still lived in MD, I would definitely attend again. Had a blast last year and the release was very chill, i suppose it helps that Williamsport is in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately, driving from MA would violate my "no driving to beer events that are over 4 hours away" rule.

That is a very good rule.

But then we have breweries at the other end of the spectrum, like de Garde, who price beers much more in favor of one consumer who exploits their low prices in order to monopolize his own artificially inflated de Garde trade values.
