    I feel like the price on B-Bomb has gone up since its release, at least by a couple dollars. I hazily remember buying it for ~$16 and now where I've seen it, it's been $20.

    Yeah, it has. It was $15 at the brewery (although 2 bottle limit/person for the first set, not sure about the second). It's disappointing (and oftentimes discouraging) to see the markup and I'm not sure who is to blame for it without knowing how much the shops paid for the bottles.

    Not sure if serious, but just funny because that limit clearly did not apply at the Spokane retailers that had it.

    It was released and available at the brewery for quite a while before it ever saw a store-shelf. I'm not sure what the story is, but it sure seems like, amazingly, the supply exceeded the demand on this one.

    regarding canning : I have no idea, but i assume you'll see the staples only in cans, which would be awesome for camping/tailgating/etc.

    and IMO, Fremont is #1 in Washington.

    Thanks for clarifying. :slight_smile: The brewery did have a bottle limit. I had a friend who was complaining that he couldn't talk them into giving him a 3rd bottle. I think there were a few stores that had limits as well, but as dirtylou mentioned, the supply obviously exceeded the demand, and it's just sitting on shelves now.

    The second release of B-Bomb didn't have a bottle limit at the brewery, and it was still $15. For anyone who missed out, the Roosevelt Whole Foods still has some for $17.99.
