Yeah definitely skipping for that price.. I can't see a black ipa being worth that much.

 

Just confirmed with my beer guy at HEB that it was 17.99. Won't be buying any at that price... Although that is, what... 9 bucks a bomber?

 

I know... I'd definitely buy it at $8.50 a bomber, but paying the same price per ounce for a 4 pack of cans just feels so dirty to me. It's obviously illogical, but I just can't make myself stop thinking that way.

 

I just paid $11.49 at Specs for 4 pack. HEB is ******.

 

Makes sense to me.

 

I saw a tweet saying HEB has the wrong price in their system and should be closer to ~$12. Hope this is the case and they get it fixed.

 

Direct quote from my beer guy: "The gross is ridiculous on it. So I'll most likely be able to bring it down to 12-13 "

 

I think what happened was that Real Ale was going to release this in a 6pk that was going to be $17.99. They changed it to a 4pk ($11.99 at CM). Apparently HEB didn't get the memo.

Either way 3 bucks a 12 oz can is worth it.

 

San Antonio Central Market, 11.99 the 4-pk.

 

Has anybody actually drank one yet? is it good?

 

I'm drinking it right now. I mean, it's decent, but I'm rather disappointed. It's very drinkable and smooth for 8%, but the flavors just seem kinda muddled and not very complex. Definitely not thrilled to have way overpaid for this. ABW's black IPA was better IMO.

 

4pack of 12oz cans 17.99 at heb bandera/1604. hopefully it goes down to 12 then I'd buy it.

 

Anyone know if/when this is gonna make it to Dallas?

 

Head over to Specs DeZavala... $11.40 on the cash price.

I thought it was pretty good. I've tried each brewery's version and I thought it was the Best of the 3 - caveat that with the fact that it was also the freshest when I tasted it at only 8 days since canning.

 

Having tried it, I probably wouldn't pay for it again.... not worth it.

 

Tap at Goodfriend on Friday otherwise it should hit stores within the next week or so.

 

Anyone is Houston seen this yet?

 

It makes me laugh at the places that are selling it for 17.99. Even rosedale market, which i love but usually are a bit pricey(no where near the flag store prices though!), has it for 14.99.

Those who have had it, does it drink more like an ipa or a good mix of malt and hops? I didnt buy it because i like the idea of a black ale, but having been overwhelmed before (ranger creeks opa just too too tooo tooooo hioppy for me) so i didnt grab a four pack.

 

I walked in to the HEB today and before I could say a word my beer guy said "I owe you a refund". Corporate messed up the system and he was quick to make it right without even asking. Well done HEB. Made it right without even asking.

 

It definitely doesn't taste like an IPA IMO. Much closer to a good mix of malt and hops, but neither stood out to me.
