    Dont think so, just saw the three pack thingy. Just seems like hudson is a good week or more behind those down south. Of course weve always been a few minute drive from sculpin and the others for a while now.

    Well the box is taped up and I'm not about to go opening up boxes at my local store!

    Ahhh ok. The box I purchased wasn't taped shut, I just flipped the cardboard tab up and pulled the bottle out. No biggie. I guess some stores don't want you to open them?

    Fresh Sculpin, right? Look forward to it, but I hope it isn't months old.

    The way those boxes are constructed, the tab for the top flap doesn't stay in very well, so when you lift it by the handle, it pops open. Guessing it's more of a safety/repair issue than a "hiding something" one.

    Paul Elder, creator of all Ballast Point labels, with the artwork for Grunion, 2014 GABF Gold Medal winning Pale Ale.

    "An International Pale Ale with a strong hop flavor from the use of two new hop varieties, American Mosaic & Calypso. Both hops give off pungent summer fruit aromas and flavors with hints of pineapple, ripe cantaloupe, basil, cherry blossoms, spruce & grapefruit. The underlying nutty malt base has hints of toasted bagel and fresh crepes from the use of Marris Otter barley and Carapils malt." 5.5% 35 IBU

    This is currently draft only, look for it in WI as soon as this week!

    Cheers!

    Any truth to the rumors of Grapefruit Sculpin hitting a few draft lines on the west side of the state soon?
