    It's not illegal but damn it should be!!!! Here in the Twin Cities you can find a 6 pack for as low as $15.99.

    disagree. Just because suckers exist, it doesn't make being a greedy asshole ethical

    $19.99 in Council Bluff, IA. I bought 2 without blinking, but it is a luxury.

    I will seek out fresh Odell Myrcenary as very suitable substitute. Sucks as aformentioned (sic) is right on it's heels too. 20+ a sixer, no thanks. Sorry for the all bold:grimacing:

    I found it for as low as $13.59 a six pack. Usually 16-18 but 25 seems unethical like mentioned earlier.

    I've bought a bottle of Hopslam for $7 at a bar before, so I don't think this is too crazy. It equates to a $7.63 bomber price which is a lot better than some of the DIPAs I see in CA. If you don't like the price, don't buy it; it's as simple as that.

    I would do that every time, good choice. I like hopslam, but prefer flower power without even thinking about price, then throw in the money and it's a no brainer.

    I paid $21.99 a sixer. At the time, I thought that was high...but then I did the math.

    It equates to $14.67 for a 4-pack...roughly the same price as Duvel. And, if I'm doing the math correctly, it's about $6.72 for a bomber's worth...roughly the same price as Southern Tier Chokolat. (Not that either of these two beers are comparable in style, but they are both currently available and I know their price.)

    So, yes the price is high, but as others have stated it's comparable to other currently available brews (although it is pricier than other DIPAs). But, it is a damn good beer!

    $14.99/6 at the grocery store a couple days ago. Still $7 more than I'm willing to pay.

    No, I heard of prices ranging from $15.99 to $27.99 (highest for a 6pk). That price is not all that bad.

    Places like that need to be ousted on social media.

    If you do the math, 24.99 per six-pack is the same as a 24.99 six-pack. However, if you do the conversion its clearly better than 318.47 pesos, AND 2341.06 Japanese yen.

    You make a good point. It was just a little shocking to see it that high when everywhere else in town it was $17.

    In DC and Northern VA it was going anywhere from $19.99 to $29.99 a six pack. It was pretty much gone in a two days no matter the price. I don't know if others have talked about this, but this years version definitely seems off to me. More of a harsh bitter lingering aftertaste and less of that sweet honey taste that used to minimize the alcohol burn. $36 for a case of Nugget Nectar, next year I'll be sticking with NN and skipping HS.
