    This one in particular involves importing bourbon barrels from various places, then aging the base imperial stout in those barrels for around 11 months. Any time you have aged products like that, the price is going to go up. I’ve absolutely seen stouts priced up like that without deserving the tag though.

      Even excluding the the barrel cost it makes sense if you have to age a product for a while your losing money on it and need to charge more.

        I’ve been tempted myself for an age. Apparently instead of using a full-size bourbon barrel, you can just toss some staves from the barrel in for the aging process. I definitely don’t have room to brew a full barrel.
