    Because it's carbonated.

    a) Alan feels this is the best batch of Cherry Adam he has made. (And, I'd agree based on what was on tap last week, which may or may not translate into the bottle.)

    b) All beer prices have risen about that much over the past couple years.

    It's been all over the place in price. 2011, with a case discount, was around 8.33 a bottle. I think 2009 was 12, though.

    Ya, I am not too worried about it, it just means I will get less. But, adam, fred, and doggie claws bottles have been $5 for years and I have seen a small increase in overall beer prices but not 20-40%, maybe 10% increase tops...
    Anyways I plan on being there to get some awesome hotd beers regardless, I am just whining because i'm broke.

    Do they usually let the case discount carry over to purchases made in the tasting room after the sale? I want a case of Doggy Claws but I'd rather not wait in line to get something that I can pick up the next day.

    Yes, there's a case discount on normal sales at the tasting room.

    Are all the bottles 11.2 or 12 oz?

    FYI, it appears that Alan has agreed to also give the case discount if you do 1/2 case of each the Cherry Adam/Michael.

    Where did you see that?

    Ah, nevermind, I found it. Same thread on Facebook.

    My take is that there is general interest in one, but it's unclear where it might happen. Friday night is generally not a welcome night at any of the local bars and bottle shops for doing a bottle share, particularly not of the scale that last year's HOTD pre-event was. Only because The Commons was not yet open for business were they willing to host that time. (Also, there's been some local crackdown on anyone other than a licensed server opening bottles.) So, while I'm hopeful that something will materialize, it's still uncertain.

    Any news on separate lines for cash and card?

    I suppose a silver lining to the high prices is that I'll probably be able to get as much as I want.

    I was told only one line, which will handle both forms of payment. That info is from an HotD employee last week.
