    Unless you're Avery. Or just about any brewery that has a beer in 12oz and 22oz bottles... Never understood that one.

    The answer to that is simple: because they can and people continue to pay for it.

    They don't usually sell single 12 oz bottles though. So it's consistent with paying more per oz to buy a smaller quantity

    I think he means the other way: more per oz to buy the big format. Like, a 22oz of you-name-it is more $$ than a 6pk of the same.
    Right? Or is my confusion palpable? :grimacing:

    Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what he means, but 72oz > 22oz

    So would like Highlands Ranch (god forbid you go there) be New Mexico for you?

    More like Gitmo. I shudder to think about going to HR

    I work within sight of it and HR makes me shutter, too.

    Same. We all may live in different parts of Denver, but we share a common thread: Highlands Ranch is the worst.

    You can't make an apples to apples price comparison from growlers to on premise consumption, six packs, bombers, etc.

    Unit cost, a 16oz glass is lower than a 10oz glass is lower than a 4oz glass.
    Unit cost, a 64oz growler fill is lower than a 32oz growler fill.
    Unit cost, a case of 12oz is lower than a six-pack.

    Must fill growlers this weekend! Damn snowpocalypse has kept me in the Springs the past two weekends but it's finally looking better.

    I finally made it to Comrade yesterday. Hop Chops is as good as advertised. I'm quickly becoming a Comrade fanboy. I haven't had a bad beer yet. Too bad I live so far away.

    Stopped in today for a fill of Hop Chops but got drawn in by Man Oar-Board Scotch Ale so I had a glass and I am glad I did.

    Hop Chops was at Falling Rock as of Sunday. In all honestly it's a GREAT beer but to me Superpower is much more drinkable and at 8oz for like $7-8 I'm definitely sticking to Superpower from here on out. I understand the pricing based on the hop bill but it's just not as enjoyable to me as Superpower. Glad I got to try it though
