The third release of this remarkable beer is underway.
Matt Kirkegaard has a good yarn about a recent tasting, involving some notable folk and a range of Riedel glasses.

I enjoyed his appreciation of a certain descriptive phrase..... it may also be found here:

The 1st release was $52. The third release is $90. I guess some of this can be attributed to the inclusion of some oak barrel-aged 2009.
But also, the last couple of years have seen a significant increase in the demand and supply of international super-premium beers: Nøgne Ø, Mikkeller, De Molen, Rogue XS to name a few.
It would appear Fosters are attempting to ride this wave.
As with previous years, I expect the beer will appear at Dan Murphy's. I'm not sure how quickly the 2010 will move at this price point.
