    Are we going to get expired bottles of Sculpin like Dallas? I was in Dallas for the holidays and they still have the Sculpin bottles with a best before 10/06/12 on the shelf at Whole Foods. I'm so disappointed as I love this beer and it turns fast, as you would expect.

    Hopefully the distributer figures out their issues. I remember calling them last year (Andrews I think it was) and the employees I spoke with didn't even know what Ballast Point was. I thought the point of a distributor was to help a company successfully launch their product and navigate the process.

    Yea I agree, I bought some when it 1st came out but haven't found a fresh batch since, $16.99 is quite a bit for a 6 pack. The bombers are like $8.99 as well

    They're expired because they never sold.

    Do we get the liquor as well? That's all I'm really interested in. That and Victory.

    Someone give "THIS GUY!" a cookie... :wink:.

    I'm sure there are more than a handful of SW BA's who are currently holding VaS... (including "this guy"...).

    I'll take the Victory, but at $9 a bomber for Sculpin I'd rather have Hop Stoopid or Endeavour.

    6-packs are cheaper per oz.

    As long as I can get Sculpin fresh, I don't care about paying $15-20 a six pack.

    Ruination is vastly superior. So is Hop Stupid. So is Endeavour.

    If it were $9 a six I'd consider it. At $15 it's way too expensive.
