[Os]

Also I don't know if it's been mentioned but there are gold font taster glasses now.

Ahhh.. more glass

 

[Jmonah3]

Hoping Ann is available on Wednesday.

Not to mention the pricing on Cantillon bottles has been super low. I'm just gonna go ahead and move to VT.

Tomorrow's projected low in Greensboro is -21F. You sure?

Is it gold or is it more cream? Was up there last week and when I asked what they are calling the color was told cream.

I'm definitely not moving to greensboro.....

Yeah Krystyna and I were laughing when it said $253 for CD5. Drinking one for $25 was great though. Not much has changed since the one we had in late 2014- still some light wine and oak, really nice and subtle but definitely very thin.

andrewdrinks great time meeting the two of you today. Safe travels!

**** me I even asked about the price and the bartender just laughed. Would have loved to try that one but taproom experience was awesome either way.

HF "shelf" bottles are the best deal in craft beer.

HF "shelf" bottles are the best deal in craft beer.

100% accurate. Also, $22 might seem a bit steep for a 375 ml, but the on-site prices are incredible. $30 for Sue, $35 for Iris? Last time a bar near me got Cantillon they charged $65 for Fou and $45 for Classic.

Big difference between the markup on a case of cantillon and 1000 bottles of flora

Plums are expensive man

Only if they're hand peeled.

Speaking of which, drinking a 4/2/2015 Arthur right now. The number of tart/sour beers I'd rather drink over this is not very many at all...

So much equity. Makes sense now nvm

 

[drgarage1]

Really, the bigger surprise is how reasonably priced CD15 was compared to fruited floras..,

Zero ***** given. When I head up to HF I treat my wallet like my ex-girlfriends. Zero regard for safety, respect and use whatever tools available to stretch it wide open.......

On that note... I'm not "well off" by any means. I work hard to support my family. If some guy grabs a $20 bottle of wine to enjoy with dinner, I don't see the difference in grabbing a premium bottle of beer. Granted I won't be drinking a $20 bottle of beer everynight. Could be a $3.50 can of Heady, a $10 bottle of Arthur etc. the point being life is short. You could honestly be dead tomorrow. I want to experience all life has to offer and be happy while I'm here on this planet for the short amount of time. If that means spending $22 on a beer then so be it. There are countless other things I could spend my money, but this makes me happy.

TL : DR Plums are expensive deal with it. Don't like it don't buy it.

When the bar and distributer are owned by the same entity thats one less person taking a cut along the way from brewer to consumer....

it'd be great if cantillon/3f ever made it to retail again in vt.

I never said I wouldn't buy it, I pay too much for fancy beer all the time as well. Doesn't mean $22 for a 12oz saison isn't mildly insane... But so am I. Pretty soon beers like Florence will be sold under the "HF" moniker and Flora Plum will be part of the "Hill Farmstead Heirloom Collection". Wish they'd model their business after breweries like Cantillon.

Hand-peeled Plum futures must be skyrocketing. I'll inform my team of financial advisors where to invest my tens of dollars.

In my experience it just means larger profits for the bar owner bc he gets his beer cheaper. there are two bars in the Philly area I know have this arrangement and they are some of the most expensive (they also get very nice beer, but that's not the point)

My point is that Shaun could charge whatever the **** he wanted for Ann, Being & Time, Sue, etc. on site. They'd sell out regardless.
