    Looks like stores near me (Bay Area, CA) have received this year's vintage, however in 22oz bomber gift packs that include two 10oz tumbler jars. I'm guessing these are retailing around $20. Will they also be released in 6-packs or solo bombers? We'll see, I suppose.

    I have never seen it for sale but would LOVE to try some gift pack or not.

    hope it's in six packs again this year -- last year's price for a 6 pack was unbeatable!

    The original hi West was 22oz and I paid $8 a bottle by the case. Don’t want mason jar mugs so it’s a pass unless it’s $8

    Enjoy

    Usually when glasses are included, it doesn't cost more.

    Well at least it doesn't cost more TO the retailer. If they want to try to charge more (or break the complimentary glasses out and try to sell them on their own)... maybe find a different shop.

    Lagunitas 22oz pricing is great so even though 6pks are preferable, I will still buy 22s if they are $6-8.

    Looks like $15 per from what I'm seeing... gotta pay for this stupid ass packaging and glasses.

    Man did they screw up and get greedy on this.

    Loved this last year, awesome stuff. If the 6 packs make it back here I am all in for sure, fantastic beer.

    I would love to try this but sadly my area doesn't seem to get any of the Laguintas coffee beers. I've never seen any of them on the shelves which is odd considering their hoppy offerings are always available. I already own a couple of these Laguintas glasses and they are probably my least favorite beer glass

    Hate that glass type. No need to buy packaging. Total fail for me. I get that they want to make $ and this will sell really well as gifts,

    I hope there is an alternative to buy this as beer only

    Enjoy

    Great beer, I agree with. Price, not so much. $15 for a 22oz?

    I paid $11.99 last year for 6 packs... and got multiple at that price.

    $15 for 22oz... or $12 for 72oz... I know which one I prefer.

    I was gonna say, I'll happily take that has a Christmas present but no fucking way am I buying that with my own money.

    @ChiPez66 yeah, I guess this is what we all deserve for praising Lagunitas and their fair price point for an excellent BA stout. I wonder how much they'll jack up the price on High Westified

    High Westified will never exist again, more likely than not. Constellation owns both Ballast Point and High West. The High West barrels are used for BA Victory at Sea.

    I agree, thanks for the correction.

    This is a weird move for a company that typically listens to consumers and has reasonable prices. I definitely won't be buying this if it only comes in bombers.

    Never saw it Dallas either. I don’t know if I missed it or if it was never sent to Texas
