Going to 4 packs instead of 6...another price increase from CCB but at least they aren't going to put it in bombers like Puppy's Breath and Jose Marti. I will still buy it in 4 pack cans and hopefully there will be more of it available as suggested. http://cigarcitybrewing.com/ccb-blog/
I thought the last batch they brewed tasted off - if the four-packs are up to the prior standard I'll continue to buy them.
They offered a reasonable explanation for the change. And the pricing will put it on par with White Oak Jai Alai which I feel is pretty reasonable
Citra hops are just too expensive. Word is they were making nothing off Tocabaga in a 6 pack. Pricing it the same as a 4 pack to make it worth producing.
Doesn't matter how good it is. Only high ABV beers belong in 4-pack format. Victory Kirsch Gose is another example.
This is a 50% price increase and people are cool with it? I get that citra hops are expensive but c'mon...
It puts it in line with the pricing on White Oak Jai Alai, Cubano Espresso, and numerous other 4 pack offerings in stores/from breweries.
It's not aged on wood or any other additional flavors, so I am not sure the comparison holds up. But hey, if people are willing to pay it, I don't blame CCB for the 50% increase.
Like I said...it is in line with numerous other 4 pack offerings. There are countless IPAs, DIPAs, and even other Red Ales that have similar (or even higher) price per ounce.
