I believe they are $14.99 for a four-pack around here. I know the 90 minute is $9.99 a four at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) I'd buy them all day long from you for 15 a 4 pack. Heck, I'd even make the 6 hour round trip and still come out ahead...and make a killing here at work. 20% abv is illegal to sell in many states (beer that is) the higher alcohol content and the more limited release makes for the higher price. There's a case on ebay right now with a starting price of 225 with 70 shipping Edited July 25, 2008 by loaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Cid Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 It is a special beer and not something you can whack down a bunch of. Think more like the Sam Adams Triple Bock. I'm a hop head so I find them pretty damn enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Haha, took me a minute to realize this is a seasonal from them. Never had this one but the 60 and 90 are great. I'll have to look for this and hope its cheaper here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanta Cracker Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Why not just have 2 60's and save some cash ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameltosis Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 This is funny, I had a bottle in my hands at the store on Saturday, $9.99 a bottle. I just couldnt bring myself to do it. So I bought a 4 pack of the 90 minute and a bottle of this. It was delicious but I am dying to try the 120 minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

policyvote Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 It's my birthday. I bought a bottle. It was eleven frigging dollars. Oh good Lord. It's so good. It's, like, . . . so good. I was seriously intimidated when pouring it--$11 makes for an expensive "WHOOPS"! But it's unbelievably hoppy, yet not as strident as I find most IPAs. I can still taste some, I don't know, citrus? It's more amber than I expected. It's STRONG, and there's no hiding it. Somehow it's a really stiff, really REALLY hoppy IPA that tastes smooth and excellent anyway. I'm not at all an IPA fan, but this is the most I've enjoyed a beer in a long time. A great birthday present to myself. Peace policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 happy belated! and I never did get to cracking the beer at my party. Folks were enjoying the yuengling too much. Another beer you can't get in Ohio... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 The hoppier the beer, the more malt in the mash is needed for balance... the more malt, the higher the alc content. That's why these bad boys kick yer hiney so hard. These beers aren't just a pale ale with a lot more hops... the entire recipe has to change, or it would taste like yuck... all hops and no malt. That's why it's so expensive.... takes 5 to 10 times the malted barley and hops to brew it. I once had a 120 dispensed through a hopback tap system. Basically, it's a sort of holding tank filled with hops in the dispensing line, and it's filled with whole hops, and then filtered before it gets to the tap. It adds only hop aroma... not hop bittereness. That has to be brewed in... but the smell... ah... to die for! In fact, I have a hopback tank here at home... which I purchased directly from the Dogfish brewery. Pretty freakin cool invention... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
