    It says 16oz cans, but I think it's still the 19.2oz can because I think that's all they do for Fiddlehead IPA. Not sure though.

    New fpm post showed different cans saying one pint on them. First time I've seen pint cans. Still holding out for 12oz 6/12pk.

    to be fair $50 for a case of stovepipes was absurd. $65 for a case of pints is still way ahead of all the competitors.

    Saw them IRL at Whole Foods today; definitely pint cans. That Fort Point Market deal was insane, wish I had bought a case! My best guess is that Fiddlehead cleared them out cheaply since those are the cans they send to concerts, etc. and now they are packaging and selling at the normal price.

    How quickly are you burning through these that you wish you bought 2 cases?

    Ha I thought the same thing.

    48 Stovepipe cans is a lot of beer.

    Maybe they saw this thread and how we all commented on what a great deal it was. We screwed ourselves :wink:

    They were really fresh if memory serves. If you are happy to drink IPAs over a 90 day period or so, I can see wanting to stock up at that price. 19.2 ounces is just under two standa
    ha! seriously doubt that. Everyone was selling the stovepipes super cheap as far as I could tell, even places that normally aren't great with pricing. Was a nice treat while it lasted. This whole situation sucks, but getting a few four packs of those stovepipes delivered a couple weeks ago, grabbing some Heady and Alchemist from a contactless pickup at Urban Grape later that same week, and now seeing Double Sunshine at my local Whole Foods--well that's at least something!

    It's become my wife's favorite beer, so faster than I'd like!

    Haha, that's great. I didn't mean for my question to come across as judgmental as it may have. It was more a "that's a lot of beer" reaction.
