    Haha!, and given the size of the box, $60 for a 12 pack!

    This is good, because I will know that the cans are fresh, the bottles here never are, EVER.

    I hope those cans are BPA free... Raulsky doesn't really care. He kids, he kids.

    That's actually a 6-pack box. See the blank can there for size comparison?

    Hope these make their way to Texas. I'd be much more inclined to pick up older cannings than older bottlings in Austin (although right now we're getting it ~10 days out from bottling. Whee!)

    And I'm guessing it'll be priced around the same as 6-pack bottles... so $2.50 a can.

    I still don't understand why sculpin in so expensive. Excellent beer but almost twice as much as their other IPA which is while not as good, definately close. Love the cans though.

    15 bucks for a 6 pack? Sadly, you're probably not far off but in that case it will be just like the bombers, collecting dust somewhere. Makes it harder for me to even get some fresh ones if I actually wanted to stomach that price. I could understand if it was a DIPA, then package it by 4 and charge 9.99, but for a 7% IPA they are outrageously priced. Funny thing is when I manage to get it on draft it's pretty fairly priced.

    Don't y'all get 6-pack bottles in Massachusetts? We get them here in Texas and, indeed, they are $14.99. A Much better "value" than the bomber, if you can call it that, lol.

    It is a better value for the 6'er but a bomber is good enough for me.

    Our sixpacks are currently with expiration mid April. Taste fresh to me.

    I think its unfair to quibble over the ABV, because if it registered in that fuzzy area of say 7.7, would it be fair then? I think quality is more important than some stupid, really useless when you think about it, categorizing label. Sculpin may not be new, and therefore bubbled up with whale gaga broo bro, but it's a stone cold classic IPA that'll give 9 out of 10 IPAs a run for their money.

    The cans should be cheaper at the end of the day. I suggest you not buy Sculpin in a can so I can buy what you left on the shelf! At around $2.50 to $3 a can, you cannot go wrong if it is a pint! This is awesome news. Now, we just need to see it on the shelves....

    Where I live the difference is 2 dollars. 13.99 vs 15.99 per 6
