Damn straight! Beer with *that* much alcohol in it tastes like crap anyway.
I’d put that $130 on a few six-packs of some really good IPAs and porters, and have a hundred times the drinking pleasure.
Just my 2c, and it *is* a matter of taste, but I bet I’m not the only one...

I have 5 cans of Billy Beer if anyone is interested... I drank 1/2 of one of them, and pored the remainder down the sink.

You’re not. I’d rather spend that kind of cash at Three Floyd’s myself.

Is $130 the normal price for this beer or are they selling it at Fenway?

Here’s just one of many excellent beers you can enjoy a couple bottles of for $130... with an entire fantastic meal thrown in, including a couple glasses of good wine for the non-beerdrinking wife.

Visited the 3Floyds website. Their offerings sound great. You’re lucky they’re local.

Thanks! Let me ping the list. I don’t like flat beer and at that price I would be very disappointed!
Homebrewers Ping.

I worked for a plastic recycler. One of our clients was Stroh’s Brewery. They kept the “over the limit” beer in the break room. A pony bottle would mess you up.

Check out the food menu. It’s a 2 hour drive from us and worth every minute of it.

27% alcohol? How is that possible? Most beer is 6% and the fermenting yeast eventually create an environment (the ethyl alcohol) that is detrimental to their existence.
They must have grown some hearty genetically-modified yeasts to survive 27% alcohol. So what happens when you distill the 27% brew? (like wine at 12% is distilled into brandy).
To: Lurker
It’s a little further from Central Texas, but if I’m ever in the area...
