That's a ridiculous fruit to beer ratio. Do want.

I was just thinking that. Quetsche is like 250g/L. 500 is insane

• Abner: American Imperial Pale Ale 8.4% abv ($10/$20)

Someone is bound to post this. Might as well be me. I ain't complaining tho. I'll still drink the **** out of Abner like it's my job.

Abner being on is cause for celebration in my world.

What's the issue (or non-issue) here, the cost of an Abner growler went up by 2/4? I think that's about 1% of the cost it would take me to drive there just counting gas and nothing else.

Non-Issue, but figured someone would complain about it, then a debate ensues, then people come to the realization that it really isn't an issue and we all go along our merry way til something new gets released to change the subject

Zero *****. I'm just glad you can get a 2L fill! Worked my way through a 2L of Abner a time or two. Fun times. The next day, not as fun.

First price increase on IPAs or regular saison ever? Other than that batch of Convivial that was $12? No worries, still works for me. Interesting to see they raised the price, but like you said, no big deal.

 

[BobCobb1]

How ****** have the growler lines been recently? Any light pockets here and there? Was looking to do DB Cake + for 4 growlers but hoping to know how (un)realistic that is now. May just change it to ISO 3 since Abner can be 2L.

Man, do I miss being able to hop in the car and head up there.

This bugs me a lot less than the last time I went and Abner was completely limited to 750s. I'm happy to pay a couple of bucks more if it means I'm stll able to purchase full growlers of it.

They started adding tax, instead of including it, when they started taking CC's a few months ago.
So 2nd price increase, but Abner, so yea, $2 ain't stopping anyone.

Oh, Yeah, Credit Card fees. That absolutely makes sense to raise prices slightly. (not sarcasm)

Considering VT tax is ~9% and CC fees are <3% and the fact that you can still use cash, it is a price increase.
Not complaining, it is a fact. I'm sure they do significantly more sales due to accepting cards, I know I spend more everytime than I did in the cash only days.

Back to the FIB thread please.

Wow, really? Have I touched you some place awkward at some point?

I believe Abner was raised to $10 for a 750ml over the summer and would be on par with all DIPA that are offered. Hopefully the $20 2L is a sign of things to come for Double Citra and all of the other DIPA

 

[bahnfire]

I thought their DIPAs (Abner/S&S/DC/DG) were always $10 for a 750ml fill (exception being Ephraim which was $11 or $12). I believe the only change is in the 2L price from $18 to $20. I could be wrong, but in my head a 750 of any DIPA has always been $13 (glass+beer). Not looking to start an argument, just making sure I'm not going crazy.

 

[tehzachatak]

Abner was and has been $10/$18 as long ago as fall 2011. This is a $2 price increase for 2L growlers. Big whoop.

I believe this is right. I basically freebased 750ml fills of SS#5 last time around and those were $10 at that point.

Agreed. Still shocked everything is as cheap as it is up there (relatively speaking).

Come to think of it you are right. It was over the summer that Abner was only filled in 750ml for a period of time like all of the DIPA.
$2 increase in the price of a 2L wont stop me from getting them though

Everett bottles are the same price as they first were. Same with Clara, Arthur, Florence, etc. Only things that have increased in price are some growler fills (very slightly), and barrel aged stuff.

I'll take it.

 

[Number45]

On the subject of Everett bottles, given the proliferation of case or two-case limit saisons, I'm really hoping Everett bottles get to that point when construction is done. I don't believe they've bottled any non saison/wild beer in a long time now... If time comes when one can get 1-2 cases of Everett bottles, well, that will be a good time.

Another random question, anyone had a b2 Damon recently?

Completely agree...need to get on that daily Everett habit.
