    Just wanted to let anyone know who didnt know already. Sculpin has been hitting CT stores this past week. Selling out quick, but plenty of places have it. Great to have this awesome beer here, and FRESH.

    I was told by my local shop that MA isn't getting Sculpin cans this year. Not sure if that applies to that entire NE area. But i'll take fresh Sculpin bottles in its place!

    Is it $32 a 6-pack? The bombers at $10+ are a bit pricey. Horseshoe Pub in Hudson, MA has it on tap a ton and it's around $5.50 for a 20oz Nonic pour. Lets just say last time I was there I had my fair share... ha-ha.

    I know places like Redstone and CBC got it, wondering about south of Boston, maybe Quincy/Weymouth area. Would make the hike up to CBC but its a bit a of a ride.

    I have only seen the bombers so far in CT for around $10, which is kinda pricey. Hope to see it on draft soon for a decent price

    If six packs show up at that price in and around New Haven, I will be buying a lot more sculpin...

    Picked up super fresh Big Eye this am for 10-ish. Big Eye > Sculpin IMO.

    Beer guy at the store said a huge truckload of of fresh BP landed at E Mass distros mid-week, dunno if it will be a common occurrence.

    BP is in the process of rebranding their packaging. Wonder if there sending out 6pks to more markets to work through old packaging inventory. Regardless, nice to have fresh Sculpin at a reasonable price. Admins can prob go back and lock like 50 threads complaining about Sculpin prices.

    Coastal Wine in Branford, CT has brand new bombers of Sculpin ($8.99), Big Eye ($5.99) and 6 packs of Big Eye ($16.99). Yes, you read that right, $16.99. I talked to the guys working there, they said that's what the distributor is pricing them at and I believe them. My guess is there's a bad case of wrong pricing going on here, but maybe that really is what its supposed to cost.

    $16.99?! that is a joke for Big Eye, not even close to worth that

    I know you're looking for CT, but MA got best by 12/2/13, which puts bottling at early July.

    Well, a $16.99 sixpack is the same price per ounce as a $5.19 bomber, so it's a better deal than the $5.99 bomber that nobody seems to be complaining about...:astonished:
