    !!! Is that a loss leader or is that the real deal street price? How did they possibly go from 22 oz for $6 to 72 oz for $10? It wasn't even terribly priced in bombers relative to the competition...

    Sorry anybody else not named Jack's Abby or Ithaca - your IPA sales are in trouble.

    Great marketing move for Wachusett to move to 6 packs @ a reasonable price. Huge glut in the DIPA bomber market - always good to see a differentiator that benefits customers nowadays. And good to see them shed the "Publick House Series" label/moniker which never came to fruition.

    Squatters Hop Rising DIPA is a similar price for a six pack.

    Craft brewers competing on price - love it....

    Sick looking can! Are you still love this IPA when it was seven and a half percent. Haven't tried the new one at eight and a half. But cans will make me try it.

    Shot up to Stoneham this morning for a sixer. Just cracked the first one, and yeah... this is a competing breweries nightmare assuming it stays at this price or a buck more in the city. I've actually never had fresh Larry either until today and I'm very impressed. To be honest, between this, Green Monsta, and that Light IPA, (which I thought was nearly as good as Daytime) all at fantastic prices, they have their bases covered for the IPA lovers in Mass. I can guarantee that this will reroute a lot of cash that would otherwise gone to folks like SN and Harpoon. Hell, Lagunitas might even see a couple less bucks from me as well if they don't keep Sucks sixers under $12. If they ever come back...
    Now, I just hope Wachusett doesn't go and make way too much too fast. I'd rather have to wait a week or two and/or look around a little bit to find fresh Larry than have it saturate the state and be in every shop at all times....only 6 months old. I'll be buying this shit by the case anyway so if my shops are out of stock here and there, I'm OK with that.

    If this makes it to CT I'm absolutely buying a grip of it. Larry is great and cans are great.

    I've had Larry once, I don't remember it being particularly fresh. Look forward to finding one of these bad boys
