Group buy on a bottle of PBR?

Clearly some folks have money to burn

That Chinese PBR is ridiculous. Wow, German caramel malt and aged in whiskey barrels! Sorry, not that impressive.

My thoughts exactly. Seems like more than a few of those are for the Asian market, which is one of the fastest growing markets more micro/novelty beers in the world. In that kind of market, sometimes anything that is not a Sapporo will sell for a premium I guess.

I've had the Utopia, but none of the others. Would like to try the brewdog offerings but probably won't pay that much for them. Some cool stories behind a few, like #1 that was brewed with grain grown in outer space.

Same here and it tasted like shit.

Phew. I feel better about having paid $13/ bottle for Rogue's Voodoo Bacon Maple now.

"...tastes like vanilla and cocoa, with hints of peaty 'tar and rope.'”

Hmmmm, rope.

Bacon.... maple.... beer....!

Well I feel better about the bottle of Lawson's barley wine that was $30 a bottle. Bourbon barrel aged and I am bottle aging for after first ski day of next season, possibly October????

I dunno man, I think Utopias is awesome. Never knew that it includes beer aged up to 18 years? Now if only people could make it for 30 bucks, I would buy it.

Ive had the sink the bismarck, way worse than utopias.

The high-strength Brewdog beers have nothing to do with making something that tastes good and everything to do with cheap PR. In fact, scoring cheap headlines is pretty much their entire marketing strategy. As for their beers: meh, there's a lot of better made, better tasting, more interesting stuff around.

Ha, sounds like perfection, but even for a bacon and maple lover it's pretty gnarly. You wouldn't necessarily want to have more than a bottle of the stuff.
