Fremont The Ancient One

Who can hook a brother up?

Ewwwww, Fremont.

I’ll be at the release and will grab you a bottle. I happen to be headed down to Portland in a couple weeks too

Works for me! There is a chance that some bottles will be making their way down to Portland as well. The Fremont website says a very limited amount will be distributed there, but very limited from them could mean anything.

1 bottle limit, $30 per 375 mL bottle. Ouch. We’ll see how well they get distributed outside the brewery. I’m also curious to see if that price tag will aerate the crowd a bit.

Sounds like there are about 240 bottles for WA outside of the brewery. Most likely you are best off hitting up the release party.

Fremont has some serious gall to charge that much for that volume of their beer.

When their beers go for 10-20 times that much on the aftermarket and all the profit goes to scalpers, why would they NOT charge that much for a beer with so much development time and cost?

I hate how much beers cost now, too, but 1,000,000 times out of 1,000,000, I’d prefer the money go to the people whose skill and effort delivered the beer, rather than to some release-day line pirate.

I totally agree with the sentiment, but an instance of gouging the consumer by a more deserving party cannot be justified by the existence of gouging by a less deserving one. Furthermore, who’s to say that 10-20 aftermarket multiplier won’t still exist at the higher initial price point?
