Ballast Point this Summer

Edina liquor on York has a ton of Sculpin @ $14.99, the other six packs are $9.99, VaS & Sea Monster were around $9.

 

Are the six packs bottles or cans?

 

Bottles.

 

I picked up a Sea Monster and a Victory at Sea for $7.99 a piece. Did not see any Sixers.

 

Where?

 

Drinking a Big Eye right now. Really nice stuff.

 

Stinson has Sculpin for $13.99 and it's very good.

 

Anyone know if the Julian code is it on the bar code?

Ballast Point: As of April 2013, uses a bottling date. It's a Julian date code. First two digits represent the year, next three digits is the Julian date. Ex: 13094 would be April 4th, 2013.

 

St. Anthony Liquors on Silver Lake Rd.

 

Anyone know if the sculpin has bottle dates?

 

I know on the bombers there is an enjoy by date in the lower left corner.

 

Hope we see $9.99/6 packs of Sculpin in cans....

 

the old label sixers had an enjoy by date as do the bombers that are currently here did not see this on the new label sixers having said that sculpin was delicious 2day

 

They had all the sixers in the cooler at St. Anthony

 

Not Avery bashing at all. I love Avery's brews. I am just saying I would rather have Ballast Point here than Avery, if it's one or the other.

 

It'll be a sad day when Stone and Ballast Point pull out my market . . . .

 

their situations have nothing to do with one another. Avery took off some time ago, as did other beers/breweries/distributors/importers. To single them out makes it seem you're making some qualitative comparison, which is unfair and ridiculous. Everyone piled on and it seemed like insipid bullying.

 

Do they have that in CA?

 

Avery was an early craft brewery for me (introduced me to huge stouts and strong ales) and although they make some pretty good stuff, I didn't buy anything from them for years and I won't miss 'em. Very excited about Ballast Point.

 

The boxes the six packs come in have a bottled on date. At Edina liquor they are 8/23/13.
