Yeah, I was trying not to piss on the parade of those who might want to shell out for something like that. I do agree.

I was in a beer shop recently having a look at something or other that they’d just had imported from the States, and the person working there said “they are expensive, but we’re about a decade behind the US in terms of brewing so I think it’s worth it as a treat”. I couldn’t be arsed to get in a discussion about it.

I always felt I was being pretty extravagant getting Mikkeller Beer Mail for a while, and that was 8 beers for 60-something quid.

£200 for 11 beers is… Really something.

I mean, the price is probably fair when you take into account the hassle of shipping a pretty small amount, and import charges and all of that. I just don’t understand why you’d bother doing that with something that (to me) isn’t significantly better that what’s available at home - flying some cans of beer 3,500 miles round the world because the cans of beer they make in London aren’t up to scratch.

But as I have said here before - whilst I love wanker beers, some of the finer points are completely lost on me. I would not pass the Pepsi Challenge on the stuff in that box.

Treehouse is the most sought after beer in the world. There’s only pliny that comes close

Yeah, I know shipping and import fees for something like that are going to be crushing. Same reason I don’t buy music from American labels: one noise tape might be $10, but $40 shipping takes it totally out of consideration.

I guess I’d like to believe that beers could he amazing enough to be worth spending that much, but for the same of my own happiness and financial well-being I choose to believe that they are not! No shade on those who want to or can order a box like this ofc

I can confidently say that the Treehouse beers I had were easily some of the best I’ve ever drunk, in terms of intensity and vibrancy they were just superb. Is that package good value? Eh, maybe not, but considering what I might pay for a third of a similarly sought after beer in a bar, it’s probably not that unreasonable. Can’t foresee a point where I’d be able to drop that much on cans, but if I had mates to split it with for a nice evening together, it doesn’t seem outrageous.

I agree that the quality of UK beers is close enough that render this largely moot though, but god I’d love to drink some Treehouse again.

Everyone has limit but 11 cans and 1 glass for £200 is too steep for me, regardless of factors involved. Personally would rather wait until I’m in a location where I could enjoy it (maybe on holiday for instance). Again, get that everyone is different and treats hype beers in a different manner, but on face value, that’s eye wateringly and wedding endingly expensive.

It’s too steep for me as well! But if there were four of us, £50 a head to sip a dozen world class beers for the night… you could spend the same on a night out in a shit pub pretty easily.

All this talk of £20 cans made other half, veil and alpine seem like a bargain
