    I've read on here SNPA cans should be less than bottles. Is this what everyone is seeing? I went to my local beerstore yesterday and they told me they were selling them for the same price. Just curious what experience everyone else is having. Thanks!

    Checked that a couple days ago. The distributor/retailer (Lancaster, PA) I checked with is selling SNPA cans and bottles for the exact same price.

    So where does that leave us with Torpedo?​

    I overheard the SN rep talking yesterday at my local beer store in Frederick, MD. He was saying increased sales volume is the true strategy behind cans, not a lower price. I would guess any real savings in packaging and shipping is just pocketed somewhere along the way.

    Thanks folks.

    You're not saving money on Torpedo cans, you're getting more & more portable cans.
