    #Unsessionable imperial IPA sample cans! Draft version releases 9/24 at the brewpub and tap room. Can release on the horizon... Our first specialty brew in a can!

    Says it will 10% ABV and sold in 12 ounce cans in 6 packs. Excited to try this. Hoping they start doing this for other specialty brews in the future.

    Sure did. I'm adding that I'd prefer they put their Bomber-ed beers into Cans instead, as Ive been saying for ages.

    Play on Playa!

    This thread needs a pretty picture. Label states 6 hop varieties - centennial, chinook, cascade, amarillo, galaxy & citra. Very much looking forward to picking up a 6 pk of this (in cans to boot - thank you Revolution!).

    Guess your wording was just poor. As they first used the word "specialty" to describe said 6-pack of cans of Unsessionable. You then expressed a yearning for a "specialty" 4-pack...Obviously one would then assume you would prefer this "specialty" 6-pack to be a 4-pack instead...

    Probably could have said "I would like to see X, X, and X Revolution beers that are currently only in bombers to come in cans as well..."

    People have zero problem scooping up BCBS bombers... Bombers are not dumb nor a waste of money...people just think everything should be priced like a 6-pack; which is dumb.

    This should hold us over for a couple weeks while we wait for those NvU cans.

    $/oz/ABV

    I'm surprised they are doing six packs for a 10% ABV beer. Seems irresponsible but I like that its an option.

    I've only seen it on draft at my local watering hole, but it ran out before I could get in there for one. I'd imagine they were selling 12oz tulips for $7-8 based on their price point for comparable DIPAs.

    Looks like most 6packs are between $13.99-$15.99. $15 at the Taproom

    Yet still 1/3 of the price of most bombers in our market. I split one of these last night. Revolution can do no wrong in my book. Loved it.

    He's right. We all know that if you buy a sixer, you must consume it entirely in one evening. Revolution is acting so irresponsibly here!
