Ran across this gem on craigslist here in florida! https://jacksonville.craigslist.org/for/5074981807.html
Heady is a great beer but idk about $15 a can...
Try to brew your own! I brew a half-assed version... Get some Perl malt, Apollo hops and some Vermont IPA yeast by giga yeast. Mash low and put in a ton of hops! It's a great beer. There's several threads on here on how to try and clone it and it wont be $15 a pint!
I'm doing this next week! Got some 2nd gen Conan from Giga and a can of hop extract on the way from Farmhouse. Probably going to be about $60-70 for a 10g batch...but that's a lot of heady and still less than $1 a pint.
Some lawyer in VT got busted for trying to sell Heady Topper on eBay. Mine always ends up being free. In-laws show up, beer fridge fills up with Heady.
Having had Heady of a few occasions, its no where near 15$/can IMO. I honestly dont even feel its worth all its hype. My .02 though...
I sort of agree. It's hard to live up to the level of hype this beer gets. It pretty much goes with anything that gets hyped up big. I had heard so much about Heady then I finally got to have some at a funeral and I was sort of surprised as how it tasted. I know it was fresh too because my buddy had just gotten back from VT from attending a wedding. Sure, it's a good beer, but I really don't know what makes it so special that causes people to go above and beyond the call of duty to get their hands on some. There are so many good beers out there these days to get caught up in something like $15 a can for 1 of them. Not to mention, us as homebrewers, can make some of the best and freshest beer around!
Good for them though. I'd love to have a product that made people act like that!
If the authorities got wind of the CL ad in time, the lister will probably get the same treatment as Stephenie Hoffman.
Forgot about her and that incident. I wonder what the final legal outcome was?
