50/50 Eclipse in MA

How much for a bottle?; I can't see the picture

 

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone leave work and drive there immediately

 

looks like 29.99 a bottle at julios

i cant find any info on if they are going to be for sale anywhere else in MA

 

Too late, probably already gone.

Curious what the prices are. These things are $20-$25 straight from the brewery, I've heard upwards of $30 on shelves out west. Between shipping and MA markup, wouldn't surprise me if they are $35 apiece.

The few I've had were very good beers, but I wouldn't pay $30 for them.

 

I was just there, its a shelf item and still in stock. By all 6 and 15% discount knocks it down to $25/bottle

 

CBC Belmont just tweeted they have some, well the Rittenhouse Rye barrel one at least...

 

CBC has 6 variants. $30 a pop

 

These will sit for a while. Maybe not all the variants but not many ppl willing to shell that out for an average BB stout.

 

Hmm, 50/50 Eclipse here in New England!?
Seems we're getting off to a good start for 2013.

 

Did exactly that at 4PM. Shelf was full of them b/c of the high price, relative lack of fame (to everyone else there).
Picked up 2x Rittenhouse and 1x Elijah - like a sucker punch to the wallet...

 

Who the hell is distributing these in Mass???

 

^^^ not sure but Davis Sq Wine & Spirits had 5 of the varieties when I was there this afternoon. They were priced the same as Julios - $29.99 each

 

Craft.

 

Glad I'm working in Marlboro tomorrow. Looks like I'll be shooting over to Julios at lunch.

 

I was at Julios around 3:30 today and shelf was stacked pretty good. But Thirsty Thurs crowd may have cleaned them out

 

I got one at a bar in SF for $25 when I was there, didn't get to many beer stores to see them on shelves. They seem to be $30 everywhere in MA from what I have seen so far. The Evan Williams bottle I had was very good but not even close to $30 at a store good. Then again, I think there are less than 5 beers I would even put in that category. I stopped at Julio's on the way home from work and ended up just buying hot sauce because $30 is a way too much for these beers. I actually walked in thinking I would only go as high as $20 for a bottle.

 

But really, why are they $30? The barrels used are from whiskeys that themselves are fine, pretty good maybe, but not really extraordinary. (And even a barrel from a great whiskey doesn't guarantee a great beer). Seems that this ten or so extra dollars are the result of having created sort of a brand, uniqueness - different whiskey, different wax color...

 

I personally think it is high as well and won't be buying any. However, if they sell all of them in the next week or so, then they were actually priced just fine. Then the answer to the first question in your post would be: because they can.
