Ballast Point in Wisconsin

I'm hoping to see some Even Keel cans in the near future. Got one as an extra a while back and it was one of the most refreshing and flavorful session IPA's I've ever had. A perfect beer for summer kayaking adventures.

 

We (Steve's Junction Rd) have had them for about a week, along with Big Eye

 

It'll be around soon, but I don't remember if they said cans or bottles.

 

Even keel in madison in cans

 

I guess knowing is half the battle! Looks like I have a stop to make on the way home tonight

 

Nice, see you then!

 

Any chance we'll get Grunion bottles anytime soon. Had that at Flying Hound tap takeover and was blown away.

 

I wouldn't be surprised. Seems like they're rolling out a few new packages every other week. 6pks of VaS shouldn't be far behind either.

 

I just gotta say, I really like how and what Ballast Point has rolled out into Wisconsin so far (the pace, the products, the tastings, etc.).

Picked my up some Grapefruit Sculpin yesterday which is really good.

I still have a slight hard time with the price point on regular Sculpin though (sorry). It's very good/GREAT, no doubt, but just seems a tad high. Who am I kidding though, I'll pay it. Gotta do a side by side tasting with Grapefruit, so I can weigh in!

 

Yea, there's a little sticker shock but it's about the same price per bottle as Scream.

 

Green Bay is getting 9 month old beer

 

That's a shame. When it got to the one grocery store here in Spooner, I checked and it was only 3 weeks old. Between the lack of interest in craft beer here and the price point, I don't think they have sold any yet. At least it's fresh though.

 

Sun Prairie Woodman's cases of Grapefruit @ $14.49 a sixer. Glad I passed on the $17.99 price I saw Fri night.

 

I am not sure there is a scientific answer, but I prefer the Sculpin in a can as well!

Even Keel cans should be getting around in the market right now, more to come! Even at 3.8%, this is one of the most full bodied session IPAs I have had!

Grunion will be draft only for a little while. We need to find more Mosaic hops before we can send bottles out past California, but I'm in the same boat right now! This Grunion in my kegerator will have to suffice!

 

I will send a PM to get this figured out.

9 month old beer would have been brewed and packaged in June/July of last year, from our Scripps Ranch facility, before we finished Miramar. Maybe there is some confusion on our date codes?

 

wish i had taken pictures of the codes

 

Saw them at Hy-Vee this weekend.

 

I don't about you, but in general I seem to prefer Ipas in cans vs bottles. Just seem fresher and better tasting.

 

I know it's the same beer, but I find myself reaching for a can over a bottle!

Even Keel Session IPA should be hitting WI now in cans!

 

Had this on tap Saturday and was also blown away.
