I googled it! According to google the top hit for a Mikkeller Kriek that comes in the 330 ml format is this page... so the kriek they are selling to the LCBO!northyorksammy wrote:which kriek is this?
Seriously, surely it must be some form of Spontankriek. And by typing that now the number one hit for "Mikkeller Kriek 330" now cites a post saying it's Spontankriek...
at least it had to get here from a different country..
LCBO Product Number 369348 - Lake of Bays China Wall Vienna Lager $11.95 per 750ml bottle

I suspect few people will buy too many of any of them before trying each... if they haven't before.liamt07 wrote:If $26 for a 6-pack of cream ale isn't crazy expensive, I don't want to know what is.spinrsx wrote:see, I knew these wouldn't be -crazy- expensive
I expect for most this feature will start with a $32.15 6-pack.

Did a quick comparison for the Mikkeller Black.liamt07 wrote:If $26 for a 6-pack of cream ale isn't crazy expensive, I don't want to know what is.spinrsx wrote:see, I knew these wouldn't be -crazy- expensive
It retails in Germany for 7.69 Euro's (C$11.23)

It retails in Japan for 1500 Yen (C$16.03).

Here's a spot in the States that sells it for $16.99 USD

I don't think the LCBO pricing is unreasonable for these products compared to what you would pay for them elsewhere. I just think that people don't know what these products retail for elsewhere.
I don't blame anyone for not wanting to pay these prices for these beers. But it is what it is......and it is reasonable relative to pricing elsewhere.
Private Ordering is usually a whack more expensive, spreading the costs over fewer items, plus having to order such large minimums and work out complicated sharings. I love these brewery features*, people have no idea how economical they are.liamt07 wrote:If $26 for a 6-pack of cream ale isn't crazy expensive, I don't want to know what is.spinrsx wrote:see, I knew these wouldn't be -crazy- expensive
(*except that for whatever mysterious purposes most products never reappear, so it's usually more of 'brewery interlude' than a 'feature.')
