Harvest Ale, $9???

I can't remember the price of this last fall but was it this high at the LC? That almost sounds as high and the cranberry stout!

Am I wrong?

Kinda steep for a pale ale.

The price last year was $7.95, if this is correct.

Yeah, there was a bunch on the shelves at King & Spadina yesterday. Bottle looks really nice (love Muskoka's new branding), but seriously, $9? Kinda ridics.

So? Return it if it fails your expectations of a 9-dollar beer. That's a good guarantee.

That said I like this brewery more every year, so I wouldn't miss trying one. I bet it's different for 2011. It also might be on tap at usual suspects, better deal.

That is an interesting point that hadn't occurred to me ... it might be different than the 2011 vintage was.

It is a bit steep, but as a homebrewer the bottles are great, so doesn't bother me as much.

To be honest, this was one of the best local brews I've had last year. Surprised the hell out of me. I hope the recipe remains similar to last year.

This was the surprise beer of the year for me last year as well. I remember buying quite a few of them at $7.95, but of course there weren't nearly as many quality pale ales available last year so maybe that made the price easier to accept.

And am I the only one that found this sentence slightly contradictory and/or ambiguous?

I too love the bottles, especially with the peel off plastic. Just need a soak and a scrub and they're ready...Those bottles would be at least 4-5 bucks if bought from a brew store, I imagine...

Also, I wonder if that means the DCCS in the winter will have a big price jump too...(That beer, though, I would gladly pay up to $12 a bottle, but don't tell Muskoka!

I just returned to find a bottle of this sitting on my desk.

Magic.
