    Julio's went through their shipment in < 2 hrs on Friday. I think Redstone went through theirs same day too.

    You know who enjoys the constant MBC price grousing? Sculpin.

    Yea, I got one for $8 at Marty's in Newton. They got a case and told me it was promised to a list of people. I asked how to get on said list for the future, and the guy told me you have to be a friend of one of the beer guys. There were only 10 on the list, so I got one of the two bottles for sale. Good DIPA but damn is it tough to get

    Wormtown Be Hoppy is better and easier to get.

    Liquor World in Porter Square tweeted that they had some at the beginning of the weekend. Probably long gone by now, but give them a call.

    No kidding. MBC Lunch almost makes Sculpin seem reasonably priced. Almost.

    Sculpin = $9.99/22oz (generous in this area) = $.45/oz
    Lunch = $7.99/16.9oz (also generous) = $.47/oz

    Fresh Be Hoppy really is much better than Lunch. For real. Seriously. No doubt. Truly is. It tastes like HF Edward and Flower Power had a baby together.
    I just can't find any fresh ones. I guess I gotta hit the brewery for some growlers.

    Wormtown Be Hoppy = $7.99/22oz and kicks ass

    Where the hell do you find Sculpin for 9.99?? In RI and Southeastern Mass, it's at least 11.99. :grimacing:

    I picked up 3 bottles of this batch at Bier Cellar in Portland, ME last week ($6.50 a bottle), it is drinking freaking amazing right now. Absolutely loving each bottle.

    Just got an email from Greg and they will be getting a few more cases in the next couple of days. Get it while you can.

    I kept it really low to illustrate my point. It's usually around 10.99 here.
