    it's only overpriced if it doesn't move and therefore you can't find it fresh. beyond that, meh.

    Tasty beer, but the price is a definite put-off.

    I can get it in PA or OH either way it depends on freshness 13 to 14 in ohio 17 to 18 a six in PA...I've had it on tap at 9 bucks in PA (foul old beer) no one cared they drank it like drones, or fresh in Cincy for 10 bucks for a half yard at the Yardhouse delicious and fresh. Watch the dates and ask the bartender when they tapped it, or ask for a sample if they do that! Most bad Sculpin experiences have to do with freshness.

    I like Sculpin, but not it's price point. I also like Heady, but think it's overrated/overhyped.

    All I am saying is, come home from a hard days work outside before you have anything to eat for dinner and have a nice fresh Sculpin IPA. IMO I don't know if it is possible to find anything any better.

    Overpriced. I'm always like "Hell yeah Sculpin" when I see it on the shelf. BUT then I see the price and I'm like "oh yeah..." There are way better beers to spend bigger bucks on. But it's worth a try...that's ferdammsher...thatsferdammshur...

    It's the nicest American IPA I've had but then I haven't had many. It's nothing to get excited about.

    imo, Heady is currently the most overhyped beer, Sculpin doesn't get remotely close to the amout of hype that Heady receives.

    It might be chaper if you live in Vermont but for everyone else it either means spending a good amount of time and money to drive to Vermont and buy it or trade for it which practically doubles the cost when you factor in shipping (assuming $4$ trade).

    Sculpin is over rated. Habenero Sculpin is not over rated
