  I could not believe your story about some people re-marketing their bottles of BCSV on Ebay until I looked....How low must a lemming go to "pimp" beer? Directly trading for another hard to find beer is more understandable, though I will refrain from the cheerful arguments of supply-side economics to support the situation. It is clear to me that the brewery is mostly to blame for the hype, which is also perpetuated locally by some of the competition such as Southampton and Capt Lawrence.
  
  The refreshing idea about your sale of the BCSV is that your price is modest compared to some other store's feeding of the beer geek frenzy.

  I get what you're saying, Rich, but I enjoy these "one offs" immensely. It's a more intense version of, say, pumpkin ales or oktoberfest biers- not being able to get them any ol' time makes them special and something to look forward to. Granted, some people are abusive but it's the nature of the beast these days. It's only a matter of time before Great South Bay, Barrier and Greeport have these limited releases too. At the end of the day, it boils down to what it's worth to the individual. Afterall, there are guys who would rather get a case of Bud than a six of Stone!

  Rich, the brewery accepts your blame. We create these beers to challenge the imagination of our brewers and to entertain beer lovers. We keep the prices unreasonably low (compared with the true cost of production) to make them accessible. The PR is only as good as the beers. We hope you enjoy them in the spirit in which they are brewed. Tony
