Southern Tier Rum Barrel Aged Pumking!

I haven't seen any posts about this being released, but pardon me if there is already. I just saw this at my local Buehlers (grocery store/market) yesterday. I imagine that it hasn't been out very long, as I didn't see it there last week. Looks good though! Love pumking, so I'm going to give it a try; there's some more info on it below. What do you all think of this?

All credit for this information goes to Southern Tier Brewery. I'm not affiliated with them, just passing on the information for all of y'all! just thought this would be a fun post to make.

FYI: The pricing seemed a bit steep ($15.99) but since it's rum barrel aged, I'm sure it's worth it to at least try once. There are more expensive beers!

 

Oh man, I hope it is for you too! I really don't know how long it's supposed to be out for, need to get one myself as well. I skipped out on it yesterday because of the price but hopefully it will still be there next week.

 

Lol yes!! Why did they not do this?! Shame Southern Tier, shaaaaaaame.

 

That's good to hear. I usually tend to like Southern Tier, to me, they're not as good as something like Founders or Lagunitas, but still good. I loved Pumking in spite of the hate some people have for it especially with the great price ($6.99 where I'm at).

 

I beg to differ. Maybe not for special breweries for something rare/extremely limited. I know many people including myself that wouldn't spend that much on a bomber, but that's just me. Many people think the same way. This is why I don't buy Hoppin' Frogs beers, all of their bombers are usually $15.99 and that's insane when I can get 6 packs of southern tier and Lagunitas for under $10 that taste just as good. I still want to try this however
