    Yeah, think they are aware of this concern, so they are switching to 16 ounce cans but only filling each with 12.7 ounces so it makes more sense to the consumer.

    Wow. Definitely worth it at that price.

    Apparently glass used to be very expensive.

    I am not sure how many people even check this thread any more, but...

    I hope this move to canning is a good way for JOs to distract that they (hopefully) will lower prices.

    They make HQ beer, but I just can’t justify their prices all the time. I can...sometimes. I would, however, buy twice as much if they were at least inside 3 SDs from the mean.

    To me the barrel aged offerings are absolutely worth it at the current price point. 1$/oz is on the high end but not insane or anything. I'm sure those 375s are a bit pricier than aluminum cans, so it make sense to see their non-premium offerings move to that format.

    It really depends for me. A beer like AB Brick Kiln is absolutely worth the price. Good BWs are tough to come by, and finding one that is an AB? Forget about it.

    A beer like BBA Dark App? Maybe once a year at $12+tax.

    Pockets of sunlight? Depends how much I am traveling. It’s worth class, and I enjoy it, but $17+ tax is tough. To me, if I can, I’d rather just buy something from SP at that price. Hell, SP saisons are cheaper at that price. Which is crazy.!Or spend the money and trade for HF Saisons. Or drink Sofie, which in its current 6 pack form is only $2/beer.

    So, I am absolutely in the middle. If they were even just $10+ tax it would be more palatable, although I would like to see them closer to the $8-9 range. But at the current price? Hard sell for me to drink more than about 12 of them a year.

    I believe I've only ever seen Pockets of Sunlight priced at $10.99.

    Hate to be "that guy"...but what is "SP"? Side Project?

    Sorry, but this drives me nuts, I never know what anyone's talking about on here.

    Are you sure? When brad was still there, he told me that they had the minimum in Ohio. They have it for more than that at their tap room. 10.99 is very cheap for Pockets.

    That's the price currently listed on the taproom menu and what I recall seeing/paying for it in stores in the past as well.

    I remember when I first started trading on reddit and all of the acronyms were WAYYYY over my head

    FT: BCBBW, BCBCS ISO: SP BBT b1, BBPt5, BL FO, KBBS, MD 6:1+++


    I’d like to solve the puzzle, Pat

    Thanks, Brad.

    I know that you have moved on, and I wish you the best. -But, I greatly miss your presence.

    And thanks, both of you, for the correction. I absolutely fucked up.

    Good question. The end of 2019 is here, basically only 2 months left.

    Will it potentially be combined with the 14th Anniversary party?
