Ballast Point this Summer

I can agree its a little overpriced and there are several good options for a bit less. I like a good variety in my beer fridge and I will pay a couple bucks more for this when it arrives.

 

Alright, decided to go at lunch and glad i did because they just got Fresh Squeezed in for $5 a bomber, excited to try that one and Rubaeus was just dropped off! Good afternoon at the store, those should keep me occupied tomorrow!

BP bombers were all 8.99, Sculpin sixer was $15.99 at that particular Hy-Vee.
Sculpin dates on bombers and sixers were "Enjoy by 10/21/13"
Dorado was bombers only and they were "Enjoy by 02/13/14"

 

BP is actually a reasonably priced brewery in CA. I hope that these are not the prices to expect in MN. Unless they are going through the same distribution as Stone here, then the inflated pricing wold be no surprise.

 

I asked Wirtz on facebook on Monday when Ballast Point will get here, and they confirmed it will be hitting stores early September.

 

I still don't understand why it bothers some people when new beers show up in stores that is a bit pricey.

 

I heard this is on the shelves today in bombers!

 

Screw that, I want the cans dammit!

 

Guy at my local store claimed two weeks until the cans come. He thought he would need to price Sculpin in the 12.99-13.99 range. My guess is we will start seeing some mighty old stock on the shelves at that price

 

what and where?

 

If that's the case, thanks but no thanks! I'll keep on buying what I normally do!

 

Zipps just tweeted about Sea Monster and Victory at Sea

 

hah i JUST saw the same thing. Awesome news.

 

Got they Calico, Longfin, Sculpin, Big Eye, and Pale Ale also.

 

Anybody hear about kegs/tappings yet? I saw about New Bohemian, but just wondered if anything else was creeping in yet. Specifically, I am wondering if they are sending any habenero Sculpin out to kick things off. The only pepper beer that I thought really worked on flavor combination and not just heat (although there is loads of heat).

 

Why the random Avery bashing?

 

Yes, VaS!! Hoping this hits the St. Paul side soon - one of my all time favs...

 

Grabbed VaS and Sea Monster. The had plenty of everything but it looked like Sculpin was moving nicely.

 

What have the prices been?

 

I've been told tomorrow for the St Paul side. At least for Thomas.

 

@ Zipps Sculpin sixes were $15.49. Pale Ale, Longfin, Calico, and Big Eye were $9.99. Sea Monster and VaS were $8.79/bombers.
