    You see it in 6 packs where you live?

    No, a six pack is 72oz. Three $7 bombers is 66oz and costs $21.

    How is that a value when there are DIPAs out there that are better, cheaper, and of more volume?

    Not that it's a bad beer, I just don't follow the logic.

    My vote for RIS is Brooklyn Black Chocolate

    For DIPA, I'd go with Sucks, FF Exit 16, Maximus, or Double Trouble.

    I see that bomber at 9.99 to 11.99. So at 6.99, i get value. I get your argument with the 6 pack volume logic but a bomber would have to be at 2,.99 to be of value. I was serious though....if you see it in a sixer, let me know. Be good.......drink better

    Torpedo is one of my favorite IPAs, but it's not an Imperial IPA. The name, "Torpedo Extra IPA" is a bit misleading.

    Yeah, all the stamps were faded. I made the mistake of assuming that a beer that had so much hype behind it couldn't have stayed on the shelf for any extended amount of time. Anyway, all Oskar Blues beers in the Massachusetts area are ridiculously priced. They want $12 for a 6 pack of Dale's Pale Ale. No thanks. I'll have SNPA for $8.

    I agree with this, fresh this beer is amazing, had one that was I don't know how old, maybe a couple months but not much more, and it was unimpressive to say the least.

    Agree 100%. I'd rather that buck or two go to the awesome family that owns my local bottle shop.

    Sucks at 10.99 a sixer, easily the best easy to get DIPA I can get in NC.
