hoptimum and palate wrecker

Palate Wrecker has hit Bevmo both in Costa Mesa & Irvine

 

I've got the 22oz bottles of Palate Wrecker in stock $7.99. If its been released in OC, then I should get Hoptimum on Monday.

I don't know... have I?

 

Secured a 5 gallon keg of Palate Wrecker. 4 packs are going for around $10.5 and bombers are around 7.

 

We stopped by Green Flash yesterday and did the math after leaving... Should have done it before on their pricing and they have reverse scale pricing. Usually things get cheaper per ounce as the bottle size goes up.

4 pack = 48 oz = $11 = $0.23 per oz
Bomber = 22 oz = $7 = $0.32 per oz
Grower = 64 oz = $22 (fill only) = $0.34 per oz

Should have bought all 4 packs instead of 2 four packs, 2 bombers and a growler.

 

for a 5.5 gallon keg = 661 oz @ $110 = $0.17 per oz

 

ah, i see that green flash has adopted the pizza port philosophy on growler fills.

 

I've been seeing an increase on "growler fills only" almost everywhere. My last visit to the Bruery I filled my growler with Humulus Lagar and it cost me $20 just for the fill. I think the last time I had it filled with Humulus (a few months back) was $16 or $17. At ABC a growler fill of Expo Hop was $20 or $22 (cant remember). At Beachwood BBQ & Brewery a fill will cost you $17 or $22 (depending on the ABV). Pizza Port has always been ridiculously high for a growler fill. I have never bought a growler from Pizza Port and probably never will. But I wouldn't mind a keg of Mongo from them. I was surprised to see they had kegs of Palate Wrecker in kegs in the OC already!! Worth the price!

 

I can tell you that I bought a growler of Humulus Lager about a year ago and it was $20 then too. Though I can't speak for those other prices you mentioned.

 

Is Hoptimum in San Diego? If so, where? PM me if you'd like. Thanks.

 

So Cal will be the last to recieve Hoptimum from what I have been told. Could show up later this week or next week. Who knows....when it hits shelves I will buy it.

 

I wonder why we are put on hold for this stuff

PS..Stone IPA 12ers have hit shelves...17.99?!

 

Just get it at Costco like I do.

 

Yup, I passed on the 12er. I get the 24er at Costco and I'll stick to that!

 

Saw Hoptimum at BevMo Mira Mesa last week.

 

I'm sure Costco beer is super fresh. And cold.

 

I read that it was a result of shortages of other SN product in our market that took precedence.
