I wasn't a huge fan of the IPA. I mean it was decent, nothing great IMO. Their A Little Sumpin' Extra! Ale (Imperial IPA) on the other hand I found delicious.

Good move Killer. The Wife payed $13.99 for a 4 pack at an AmeriStop. Having a Two Hearted before breaking into The Wrecker.

Side note. The Wife did some rearranging an found another Stash I'd forgotten about. I will have to sort this stuff out over the next few weeks and I'll post my Stash inventory here. I might have some duplicates that I'd might be willing to share with some of the local snobs...noticed I said MIGHT twice in that sentence. Lol.

Which is exactly what I thought when the girl there told me how much that bottle of Palate Wrecker cost. I'll try it at some point because some on here speak so highly of it, but it will be at a legit price.

Also, good to see that I was right in thinking I was about to be ripped off. Thanks for the feedback, fellas. I knew you guys would know what FMV was for a particular beer.

I got mine for just over $5.00 a bottle. That's a mark up of well a...I'm bad at percentages. I'll have to let footwedge figure that out.

I read an article they're going to brew more for 2013 because of the huge demand. I'd buy a 4 pack just to have for special occasions, but there are beers I like a lot more for the money.

I still have my 4-pack of it. Maybe I should sell it for $80 profit.

Nah, fuck it. I'd rather drink it at some point.

Most places are sold out of it now, and I legit have been looking for it the past 2 yrs only to find my 4 pack last week. Good luck hunting, part of the fun for me at least.
