Sculpin Cans

Bottles 7 days old with no nose tasting skunked. Purchased at Old Grove location.

 

How much will 6 packs be? $20?

 

Yeah, hopefully not...

 

Don't feed the troll?

 

I am asking a legitimate question. If 6 packs are a staggering $18 a piece that's still only less than $6 a bomber. How cheap does it have to be seriously?

 

My appologies.

 

Your sentence is to go on être gourmet and spend ~$180 on a bottle of Struise Five Squared so that you can feel the pain of true loss, the brackish spray of regret and excess.

Only then will $18 sculpin provide solace to a threadbare heart.

 

Never seen a 6 pack here. If all breweries used your twisted logic then there would be no 6 packs under 15 dollars.

 

What is twisted about my logic? here I will set if forward as a setential proof:

p1 - Sculpin costs $18 for 6 12oz cans
p2 - Sculpin costs $3 for a 12oz can
p3 - A bomber is 22 ounces
p4 - 2 12oz cans is more than a single bomber
p5 - distributing p2, two Sculpin cans cost $6
- - -
c1 - using distributed middle, a bomber would cost less than $6.00

I have no problem with that price point given the quality of the product received. Whether you feel that Sculpin is worth $6 a bomber is a matter of personal preference which not even my twisted logic can sway.

Before this gets into Stupac/Pahn territory, I am not making prescriptive statements of what breweries should charge, I am simply stating that at the $6 mark, I would happily pay that much given the comparable alternatives in that realm.

 

I've had bad luck with Sculpin over the last 18 months. I would put the ones I had on the level of something like Full Sail IPA, an ok, but seriously underwhelming beer.

 

I never once questioned the price of Sculpin. In fact, if you look at my previous posts in this very thread, you'll see that I was defending it.

 

It's twisted logic because that's not how a business works. It's not 6 dollars a bomber (here), it's 10-11.

Most 12 oz. bottles cost around 1.60, in terms of normal 6 pack pricings of around 10 bucks. But if I choose to grab a bomber, I'm not refusing anything just because it's over 3 dollars. Do 3 dollars bombers even exist? If everything was priced by the ounce we would probably be paying 20+ bucks per 6 pack. Different serving types have different price points, and around 8 dollars is what I would consider to be the limit on a bomber for a single IPA.

I hope cans bring the price down, and they should. I'd pay 12 bucks for 6 pack of cans from time to time, for sure.

 

if a 6 pack is $18, how does 22 ounces of beer become 10 or 11 dollars?

a 6 pack of beer is 72 ounces, if you divide that by $18.00 you get Sculpin at $.25 cents an ounce, if there are 22 ounces in a bomber, that is a $5.50 purchase for 22 ounces at that price point.

I dont even math that hard and this makes sense to me.

 

Should I just start the thread now that Sculpin should be consumed directly from the can?

 

People who bitch about buying Ye Olde Sculpin really have no one to blame but themselves:

"Ballast Point: Uses a best before date. Ex.: BE293/03302. BE = Big Eye, 293 = Batch, 03302 is the best before (Mar. 30, 2012). All of our ales and lagers under 10% ABV have an enjoy by date that is 120 days from the moment it touches our bottling line. Our ales and lagers that are over 10% ABV have an enjoy by date of 1 year." - via Fresh Beer Only database

 

Pff. I've bought 2 day old bottles @ Old Grove. Same issue.

 

Nevermind, I didn't realize I was dealing with an autistic.

 

Yep - yet people will continue to say "you gotta get it fresh bro" to people who can jog to the brewery.
