That is one of my personal favorite Mikkeller beer's, had it one on tap at Blue Monk and it knocked my socks off. I also concur that price for Unearthly is completely reasonable, it's that price everywhere.

My spring graduation is my justification for going all out with this otherwise very expensive release...Also hoping to track down some Westvletern 12 and perhaps a few other goodies. Couple buddies from my class are also pretty into beer.
very impressed, this soothes the pain from missing out on St Bernardus gift packs. Super excited about stocking up on Lupulus, pretty hard to find another Canadian beer that I like more. Solid price on it too considering it's $15 @ Peluso.
Can't wait to try the mikkeller and tree dipa. Will load up on Westmalle.
I will pick up some Norrebro Var Tripel again and cellar it. I had a bottle from the previous release over Christmas that was absolutely delicious. It seemed to have just the right balance of sweet fruity yeast and dryness. For me, it was the best of that brewery feature by far.

In all seriousness I also noticed there's no Great Lakes, Amsterdam, Grand River, etc. I assume they're still being released so it's good to see they're no longer taking up slots in the releases.
Certainly excited about the return of Curmudgeon. I hope they end up doing what Rob told me they might, which is to rebrew the Plowman's Anniversary recipe for the Curmudgeon release.
I also saw the other day that Muskoka's seasonal WON'T be a Bock, which was a popular speculation.
These releases seem to be getting higher and higher quality products. I don't want to complain about having these available but sadly these releases are getting beyond my budget. I seem to recall a posting showing what the criteria were for the seasonal releases. We all joked about special consideration being given to liquids but one of the other factors was products priced below a certain amount ( I think it was $3.50 for that particular release ). Has this criteria been lifted as it seems there are few if any products priced at that level in the past few releases.?

what was the Muskoka spring seasonal??
Someone asked them over twitter if it would be a Bock. They responded "No Bock, but something interesting." - Secretive bastards!

ive never understood why a brewery wouldnt release something as simple as the style of beer they are doing for a seasonal
even if they said "oh, its a hefe with a twist" thats better then "No Bock, but something interesting."
i was already assuming you were going to brew something interesting, now tell what the hell it is instead of what it isnt
