No I'm pretty sure the $40 entry to the event is what gets you the swag. It also includes to ability to buy 3 bottles at $60 each.

I'm convinced no one in Chicago works on Fridays anyways.

Because Rock Out with Maibock Out is as sophomoric as Happy Ending or Big Tiddy Assassin. Style be damned...

rare day. sixty ******* dollars a 500ml.

So for a person+mule $440 for 6 bottles. Lol.

A buddy had it at GABF party and I asked him if it was 5 times better than 2015 BCBS which he also had there. He said it was amazing, but no.

In the words of Lansman ...

 

[Lansman]

In the words of Lansman ...

Yeah, but but but...um....you can raffle a bottle off or something and make back your money....or, what about the trade value for one of the tens of thousands of bottles produced....or, um, it says Rare on it and it's in a box dude, do you even Craigslist, bro?

 

[middlebrow]

In the words of Lansman ...

the irony of spending 400 dollars for 6 bottles of beer 4 blocks from east garfield is not lost on me.

 

[ChicagoGuy]

Lagunitas should release a new $9 High Westified-like bottle on Rare Day. I'd be all over that.

Wait--there is a box?! That changes everything.

 

[trickytunadicky]

Wait--there is a box?! That changes everything.

But is the box hand made with dovetail joints? Superstition raised the box bar by 1000.

Saw on Twitter no Mean Gene this year. Where's dan to give us the lowdown?

My bad.

I also let down people down at the Oktoberfest party when I promised I'd find out why there were no carnie games this year (and then did no such thing).

I'm actually pretty excited for Rare Day, which means I'm destined not to win a ticket. I'd pay $40 for some swag, the tour, and 6 pours of bourbon county variants. I'd buy 3 bottles of Rare too. Amortize that over 3 years I figure. I'm not going to open all 3 bottles that day. Sure I have to pay upfront, but I'll have bottles to enjoy for special occasions over a few years. Maybe it's just me needing a reason to get out of the house for a day. Beats me, but I thought the event looked pretty sweet when I saw it yesterday.

And I have a few regular trading partners who would probably like to have a bottle without hassle - and you know it's going to be Make-a-Wish GOLD people!

Now, can I explain to the wife how I might be spending $60 (x 3...plus a $40 ticket) for a medium-sized bottle of BEER.
