    Sculpin, even though I like it, is not worth the money. There are so many great ipas for 10 is a six, so I'll pass on this. Hopefully I can get a single of pineapple I would like to try it.

    I'd occasionally buy a 12 of (super fresh) regular sculpin at $20-24, the grapefruit shit is gross, no interest in trying the pineapple. My grocery store sells sixers for $14 so I need a price break or no point in having a 12 pack.

    Fine with that. People bought bombers years ago of sculpin for $8+.
    Do math folks.

    Hell, I don't like paying more than $14.99 for a 12 pack. $33 is way too much. That's case territory right there.

    $28.99 here. Which seems like a steal compared to $24.99 for Hopslam 6er.

    I buy Sculpin when my Meijer has it for $11.99/6er, which is about every other month. I won't touch it at $14-15, though I did buy a 6er of Pineapple for $15 just because A.) I knew that this beer was super fresh, B.) I really like Pineapple IPAs. Suffice it to say though, the price will keep me from coming back until my Meijer has more than just Victory at Sea, Sculpin and Grapefruit Sculpin (as they are the only store that has Ballast's big 3 at decent prices occasionally).

    Saw it for 20-something. Not entirely sure. Either way, reasonable.

    Holy Shit, $24.99 for Hopslam. I was dissapointed with my purchase @ $17.99. At that point I would be picking mixed 12's of Sculpin all day long.

    Might be the reason I can not find it fresh, probably a Distributor markdown to clear out all the old crap.

    Definately want to have some fresh because the American Mosaic and Calypso hops play very well together.

    That could make sense. It's a great beer, but it's insanely priced for a pale ale.

    26.99 here in the Boston area. A big saving of a dollar if you were to buy 2 of the 3 six packs.

    $33? :astonished: I think all of the Sculpin's might be some of the most overrated beers in existence.

    I've never had Sculpin, or any Ballast Point beers. I can't see why I'd bother with those prices.
