    My local store has 8/20 bottles Sculpin for $13.99. Life is good.

    I got one on sale yesterday (4.99 / bomber) and the hops are really lacking. Had Alesmith IPA and Double Jack right after and both of them were hugely more hoppy on the nose.

    Just moved to Vegas from Santa Rosa (near Russian River). I was looking at $16.99 for a sixer of Sculpin up there and now in Vegas I see it is $13.99. Did they change the recipe? It used to be my favorite beer circa 2010, but now I sense something different about it and just don't get as excited for it anymore, or maybe my palate has just changed.

    Got a sixer of Sculpin at Wegmans today (new label) and it was 14 bucks.

    I just picked up a sixer, looks like label has changed and the bottle dating methodology has changed again.

    I got the last sixer of the new labels at Wegmans. Great success!

    I just bought a sixer of Sculpin cans in Chicago for $10.99 and it was only three weeks old. That's a three buck price drop in this market. I'm guessing the store meant to tag Big Eye instead but who knows? I've been passing it up based on price as well as my underwhelming experience with it so far. But thought I'd give it another go based on the more reasonable cost.

    With a $3 price drop, methinks your guess about Big Eye was accurate. I'd go scoop up as much Sculpin @ $10.99 before they catch the error.

    I once got a Sculpin sixer for $6.99 at Whole Foods because it wasn't "in their system yet". Glorious day.

    It's $17 here, at $10.99 I'd have another IPA option.

    It's $15 at the brewery... Definitely sounds like a pricing error in your favor. Collect 24 Sculpins.
