Ballast Point: Sculpin Variety Pack

What no habanero!?

 

Personally, I'm completely willing to pretend the habanero never existed, but that's me.

 

Seems in line with 6-pack prices ($15/6-pack). What's the problem?

 

I think the original is very good and the grapefruit is even better, but they need to get over themselves and find a price point closer to the rest of the world if they want to stay relevant. The one thing I always notice when I look at the beer cooler is the shortage of IPA's to choose from.

 

Amen. $33 for a 12-pack is ridiculous.

 

Haven't seen the 12 pack, but recently tried the Pineapple Sculpin and did not find it very enjoyable. Grapefruit is easily the best. They're all a bit overrated imho though.

 

You definitely answered your own question there.

 

$25.99 in my area

 

Over rated and way over priced.

 

That makes a little more sense price wise.

 

I really do like Sculpin, but I never buy it in 6 packs or 12 packs. It doesn't make financial sense when there's a SN Torpedo or Beer Camp 12 pack right next to the Sculpin for 12.99. I'll drink my Grapefruit Sculpin at a bar or restaurant if it's available.

 

Ouch. that is expensive.

Dark horse does a mixed 12 pack of IPAs each year (a special variant thing) and it is priced pretty high too. ~$25 from memory, and it turds for a while at least near me.

If I want variety, I'll go to the pick and mix section and get 6 different beers I haven't had before for $10. A 12 pack needs to be quite a bit cheaper to get me interested in trying their beer...

 

Likewise. It is usually the same price or only $1 more in bars compared to other IPA's. It might help if I liked Sculpin though... It is nice, but no better than many other options that are a lot cheaper. Hell, in a bar if Sculpin is $1 more, I will usually order something else on principle.

 

I'd actually like a mixed 6, with 2 bottles of each of them. I bought a sixer of Pineapple Sculpin yesterday because I like Scuplin and I love pineapple. I had a bottle last night, and it was fine - didn't blow my mind. As I was drinking it, I thought it'd be nice if I didn't have 5 more of them, but instead a couple Grapefruit and a couple regular.

 

Wow 33 plus tax! That's like almost $17 a six Fuck that

 

The price point is on par with what I typically see here in Baltimore.

I do wish they had added Habanero to the mix as well though..

 

Absolutely insane! I enjoy sculpin, but man, so much more quality-including IPAs-can be had by that amount.

 

24 Pk of Ballast Point variety is at my Costco for only $31 - Also seeing Sculpin on draft a lot more these days; right next to the Corona tap!
