Wasnt Avery one of the breweries involved with the brewing of Izzy? I actually thought I heard that it was one of the Avery barrels that they didnt use in the blending of Izzy. If Avery was involved then I dont think it is much of a shocker that they have some of the bottles.

This is correct. Five brewers involved: DFH, Avery, Lost Abbey, RR, and Allagash.

Adam Avery was in on the brewing of "Izzy" those were probably out of his private stash which is at the brewery.

That makes a bit more sense. Forgot that detail.

Ah, gotcha, makes a bit more sense then.

Still, there’s a Dark Lord in that picture...

Odd story.

Re: Isabelle

If I remember the story right, and I probably dont since the release was almost 5 years ago, each of the participating breweries got 10 cases of the beer.

Replacement cost is not the same as auction or pawn price. Usually they use insurance or replacement costs when they consider cost of a theft
