    Not every brewery can brew and sell at the capacity to make 6 packs more economical, especially if you're trying to get a variety of styles on the market.

    Yeah, there really aren't many beers out there that I "hate". Even if I don't like it enough to buy again, I can at least drink it or share it with friends. And for those few times that I'd really be that nervous about buying something crazy, most stores sell singles nowadays.

    Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised to see 8 oz mini bottles (for sale as singles) become popular in the near future. Higher price per ounce seems to be the latest trend in craft beer, especially in the perceived "high end" market.

    With all the info available about beers nowadays, I find it hard to believe someone could be surprisingly appalled enough to not drink a 6 pack of any commercial beer.

    Damn, I thought it was my secret place. Thanks! ;0)

    Tho it's cheaper in comparison do u realize even @ $2.99 it equates to a ~ $12.50 6 pack?

    Just cracked one open: Big malt up front with a hoppy finish, nice and complex. Good job.

    They're 16 oz bottles so 12.50 for a wider of pints is a pretty solid deal.

    My brother is in IT. People often pay him in beer. This will result in his getting 2-3 cases of the same 12oz bottled beer. Even in that case, he doesn't get stuck with stuff. Every guest is offered a beer. I'm routinely given 12 packs of what he's burnt out on. This leads to a surplus on my end. If it's not my scene, it goes to touring bands or becomes beer bread or gets used to marinate beef for jerky.

    I think what was meant is that the price per ounce works out to over $12.50 (closer to $12.75) for a 6 pack of 12oz bottles.

    Wanted to let everyone know that we are sending our distributor cases of Jabby Brau and Smoke & Dagger today. Unfortunately, at the last minute our 4-pack supplier pushed back our delivery by a month. Rather than sit on the beer for a month we are releasing them now as singles.

    We want to apologize for the confusion and let you know that we are not abandoning the 4-packs. The next production run of these beers will be in 4-packs, baring any future issues.

    Nice. I have to figure out where these are going.

    I am working on getting a page added to our website that lists all the locations. In the meantime where are you from? I will let you know what is close.

    Ouch. That AND the stickers? I'd normally offer you a beer but you sort of already have everything in my fridge.

    Just curious, but why Jabby and Smoke before Hoponious Union? Seems odd you would release three beers before the highest rated and previously most accessible draft beer you made.

    We are currently brewing at capacity. With our current production cycle we need all the Hoponius we can make to meet our current draft demand. We had room with our other beers to bottle part of a batch and keg the rest.

    We have three more tanks being installed in May which will allow us to keep a steady supply of all our beers in both draft and bottles.

    why wouldn't you just brew more HU, and less of your secondary offerings? Isn't HU the flagship?
