    I haven't had my bar listed on any of the signage I have gotten from Wirtz yet either... Milwaukee I am guessing?

    Ha, I guess the venue is important!! Did not realize it was not on the poster!

    It is, in fact, 8th Street Ale Haus.

    Winner will get the wall space to design however they would like.....I think a big high res Sculpin logo would look pretty nice up there!

    I'll bite. Which easily obtainable shelf DIPAs are these? NG Scream is one of my favorite beers and it's $2.50 per. So roughly the same as Sculpin.

    Sculpin is an IPA, Scream is a DIPA so not a fair comparison.

    In Madison Karben4 Fantasy Factory is $8.99 a sixer. I guess I did pay $7 more for a sixer of Sculpin. :grimacing: It still equates to paying $4.90 a bomber...

    Coming to the fox valley in a couple weeks. Am I going to be able to find victory at sea?

    Ridgeview Liquor has Ballast Point (VaS I assume) right now. I would think Woodman's would as well...might not be anywhere else in Green Bay. Not sure.

    It's a 2% abv difference. Seems like a fair comparison.

    The verdict is in....both are pretty fantastic!

    Please forgive photo quality, I snapped this in between snow blower sessions. We are at 8-10" at least right now!

    Not gonna lie, fresh Sculpin is pretty good. Its been only 2 months since I've had it fresh at the taproom. Can we keep it this way (having fresh Sculpin on the shelves regularly)? I'm not so sure, but as far as IPAs readily available year-round in Madison, Wisconsin goes, this is pretty good stuff.

    Agreed, when fresh this beer is fantastic and worth the price. The key will be whether we keep seeing fresh bottles/cans. Hoping it doesn't show up in huge quantities, I will be more than fine with gaps in availability if it means fresh stock.

    That's the plan! Toeing the fine line of availability to ensure fresh date codes!
