What was your pretentious ass looking for?Probably won’t be selling that at Kinnick. Hell, the best beer I could find at Kinnick last Saturday was freaking Boomtown. If their goal was to keep me sober, it worked.
Something better than piss water.What was your pretentious ass looking for?

28% ABV...
WTF?
That sounds ridiculous.
The Boomtown sucked.Probably won’t be selling that at Kinnick. Hell, the best beer I could find at Kinnick last Saturday was freaking Boomtown. If their goal was to keep me sober, it worked.
West down and boundSounds like a job for Snowman and the Bandit.

Probably way too bourbon-y.
I've got some Goose Island Bourbon County that's 15-16%, and even that is a little too heavy. I'll stick with the Prairie Ales. John's Grocery usually has a stash of them in IC.
I agree with this. Was fortunate to have a 5 ounce pour a few years ago. Tasted like I was sipping maple syrup.A sipping beer?
It’s the best they had, which is the point.The Boomtown sucked.
Any idea on the cost?I agree with this. Was fortunate to have a 5 ounce pour a few years ago. Tasted like I was sipping maple syrup.
It is a very good beer.
A bottle is just north of $200, typically.Any idea on the cost?
Stupid beer laws in many states prohibit beers above a certain ABV. They must be sold as hard liquor, which has a different tax rate. Iowa had a limit of something like 8% until relatively recently. That said, it's not that uncommon for brewers to mislabel the ABV on beers to avoid such laws.Why would it be illegal for having a much higher alcohol content than other beers?

I was really looking for the cost of a 5 ouncer. It's somewhere north of $50, I assume. I've paid that for a scotch and that's generally about 2 oz so not really as bad as it sounds...if the beer is outstanding.A bottle is just north of $200, typically.
The beer is pretty tasty, but you certainly wouldn't make a steady diet of it. It's still, so it's no problem to have a sip and recap the bottle for another day. It saves for years. I'd think of it more like a cognac than a beer in terms of how it's typically drank - a couple fingers after dinner.
It's not so much the labeling as it is how it's processed through the state. Stupid three tiered system makes everything more complicated than it needs to be.So just label it as hard liquor than??
I don't know that I've ever seen it sold at a bar, so it's hard to say. But there's about 5 pours in a bottle (750mL), so $50 per would be near retail. I'd guess a bar would likely close to double that.I was really looking for the cost of a 5 ouncer. It's somewhere north of $50, I assume.

As I stated, piss waterDid they not have Lattes?
NopeJesus Christ, you sound like you work for Prairie.
It won't "save for years" once you let air/oxygen into the bottle.A bottle is just north of $200, typically.

Like Mornin' Delight from TGI agree with this. Was fortunate to have a 5 ounce pour a few years ago. Tasted like I was sipping maple syrup.
It is a very good beer.
I've drank from a bottle that was months old and it didn't oxidize like beer. There's no hoppy character to fade or get skunky...it's more like a super barleywine. It really acts more like a weak liquor than a beer.It won't "save for years" once you let air/oxygen into the bottle.
Maybe the high alcohol content lowers the level of change, but it's not going to taste the same months later.I've drank from a bottle that was months old and it didn't oxidize like beer.
