    As opposed to $12 for a (12oz) 6-pk? I will wait for the Weyebacher SMS and get it for $14 4-pk.

    I think the reason for the packaging is the gift factor in the upcoming holiday season. Price point is really reasonable compared to others out there.

    Only reason we are fit to complain is we are the 0.00000001% of the population that knows what a sixer of Lagunitas BA stouts cost in the past. Honestly I don't think we're the target market on this one.

    I bought a bottle of Willet bourbon for $45 and I'm not even 1/2 through it over 9mo. of sipping/pouring an oz or 2 every couple weeks. That's a much better deal IMO.

    It's not even that they "may never". It is probably 99.9% that it doesn't happen.

    I see Binny's has both the gift pack (14.99) and individual bombers (8.99).

    $9 isn't the worst, but it's still a significant downgrade from the great pricing of the sixers.

    I bought a sixer last year, and have a few left. It's a great price, but when put up against pretty much any other bba stout, it shies. You get what you pay for. Not hating.

    You sir, are practically a teetotaler at that pace! I can’t keep good Bourbon in the House very long. I have lots of bottles but they always seem to be near empty somehow.

    I won't buy a single with glasses. Reminds me of a whiskey producer on a cash grab.

    If I see it in a 6 pack, it's in my cart no question. Otherwise, I don't see the draw. Even as a big coffee beer fan.

    I'm craft beer 90%+ of the time, but every now and then (usually when fridge is empty and I need to restock), I may pour a few oz of bourbon for variety. About once every couple weeks or so.

    Shoot, I'll take a single 22oz with glasses for $15. Not bad at all. These hit PA yet? Or closer to December we thinking

    Enjoy those tiny 10oz cups

    Anyone see this in S Jersey? I’m in for an $8-9 bottle this weekend and one to hold for thanksgiving.

    Enjoy

    Just had my last High Westified, it’s still holding up really well. The coffee has definitely faded but aside from that it tastes almost exactly the same as it did when it was fresh. I never saw Willetized in NJ but if I see it around this year I’ll definitely grab some.

    I liked Westified much better than Willetized. And I wasn't going to pay $15 for a couple of glasses and a fancy box. But, I'll by a bomber or two if they can keep it in the $8-$9 range.

    When you find out its only coming out in a bomber instead of a six pack like last year.



    I haven't tried this beer yet so I'm thinking about getting the gift pack but I'll wait for the stand alone release.

    Bought a gift set for 15. My wife liked the jars, so she wasn't too bummed by the price. I just pretend it's any other brand of BBA stout so the price doesn't hurt so much.

    I'll just buy some BA Ten Fidy or something else. It's a little bit of a bummer, but not the end of the world.

    Bombers hit KY. Grabbed one in Lexington priced 8.99. Not as ideal as six packs, but worth it IMO.

    Now that it's making it's way around, hows it taste compared to last year? Also, compared to westified?
