    Hello,

    I have been buying these for about a month now. I was just wondering if the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale/Torpedo cans are a year round release or only a season release during the spring/summer. I really hope is year round.

    I believe it's year round. Correct me if I'm wrong, BA.

    I still don't see the appeal of the 16 oz 4-pack - unless of course you are comparing it to a 12 oz 4 pack.

    I love the sixer. 3 sessions of 2. 3 weeknights if you will.

    Does 24 ounces constitute a session?

    Canned beer is the way to go.

    for me, yes, on a weekday. i realize this varies wildly based on some of the sick shit i read on the nightly threads.

    I have yet to try Hoptimum.

    I would love to have it canned though!

    Ok, after now having Hoptimum in bottled form, this would be awesome to have available in cans! 10%+ ABV in a handy package!

    Picked up a 12-pack of SNPA cans over the weekend. It was fun seeing the green cans in the cooler while sitting on the beach. I hope it's year round.

    Was @ TW picking up some Torpedo tonight and noticed that 6 packs of bottles were $6.99 while 4 packs of 16 oz. cans were $8.49. Sounds like they are trying to cash in on the novelty of packaging.

    Sierra Nevada has stated that they have set the MSRP comparable to that of the 6 packs...naturally, SN can't control what a retailer prices them at. Of course, if the ambiguous "they" in your statement is Total Wine, then I suppose your statement is totally correct. :slight_smile:

    "They" was definitely aimed at TW. Oh well, they can keep their overpriced cans and I'll happily buy up their stock of bottles.
