    Their Twitter is teasing maybe x2 other aged beers to be released as well.

    I'm putting on Twitter notifications to pre-order... ha! First year being into craft beer, and everyone seems very excited so it must be good.

    EDIT. Their Instagram shows them doing the wax seals for a collab with Browar Stu Mostow - Polish brewery who had a couple of beers out here a couple of weeks ago.

    I'll be all over that, although the coconut doing it's thing.

    The sheer amount of natural oils from the coconut contained within however has one downside - it makes foam disappear ��. A small concession in the pursuit of flavour.

    Looking to get this as a present. Has anyone on here got it in previous years? Just wondering as to what kind of variety/selection there is. Or are there any other recommendations for Irish craft beer boxes? I've bought the Mother Macs one for myself, so looking forward to indulging in that :D

    They’re the only two Irish ones I’ve seen.

    If you scroll back on the hashtag you can get a good idea of what to expect. Never bought it myself but I've never heard any complaints about the Martin's box.

    A group I'm in is guessing the RRP for this box set.

    What's the guess here?

    Reckoning around €40. I think 200 Fathoms is normally a tenner a bottle.

    I'd be guessing €40+, but that's just based on the previous price of €10 per bottle in previous releases. Considering the 12% abv and additional processing this time around, it could be anything.

    Edit: the Goat got there before me!

    I'm very tempted following on from all the comments & excitement the announcement brought, but it would also be the most I've brought myself to spend on one beer to date... hm...

    You'd spend €50 easily on a night out in Dublin. When was the last time you had a night out? Use those savings to buy this box.

    That's how I justify these things or compare them to a bottle of wine.

    ... sold! Now to keep an eye on the pre-order.

    Plus, I just entered the Masters sweepstakes in work so maybe I'll get returns from that to justify it...!

    Seems fairly reasonable to me? Let's say delivery is €5-10, then we're looking at €45-40 for x3 aged beers & a glass. Decent value?

    I'm already thinking about trying to get a couple of different beers that might be worth aging. Different discussions have gotten me curious. Might open a thread on that at a later stage.

    That seems a bit steep? Can get a decent bottle of whiskey for that kind of money.

    Aye, it's ok when you consider 2 of them are from 2018 and are 2% higher ABV than previous editions as well.

    You're getting a barrel aged stout, plus x2 from 2018 that have been aged for another two years. A lot of time, resources...

    I'm totally clueless at judging value for money right now, but for me (the uneducated) it seems decent.
