    Still shocked it wasnt Aphasia with the rebranding of artwork/name, donation and any pulled product. Though those figures may not have been pulled into the gross revenue for the brew

    I did not include such costs when I looked, that certainly would alter it. Superfluid always carrys a donation also.

    so... how bout that Compression? Sounds pretty good. Seems pretty fairly priced as well. I see a lot of the info says its a 550ml bottle. Is it 550 or 500? I'm not sure I can remember seeing a 550ml bottle.

    Bought a half case of Compression, skipped Anny Ale (I've never been a big fan anyway). Glad I don't have to wait in a line for bottles at least!

    It is 500, I am not a huge sour fan so cannot tell you personally. I hear from the brewers who like sours and tried it that it was very good. (Of course no bias there). I can say that we will have some available for sale on the day so not to upset those who did not hear about the online sale and got there early to buy some .

    Heads up for this group that online there is only 4 bottles left.

    Managed to get a few bottles of Compression from someone who made it up for the anniversary party. I'll say, I'm really enjoying the amount of blackberry and plum in the overall flavor. Very happy with this beer.

    I paid around $15 in stores last year, like a lot of other people have said. Maybe it wasn't profitable because stores were charging less than wholesale and didn't know it and then coming back to you guys looking for some sort of credit? I have no idea. Either way, I would pay more for per oz for a 6 pack vs bombers. Especially on such a high ABV beer. I'm not going to sit down and drink a bomber by myself. 12 oz sure.

    That being said, could someone tell me what the going rate on the bombers of Anniversary is going to be? I'm assuming it's getting distro...

    Edit, just clicked on the link to the evenbrite page, bombers were over $11.50 a bottle? Stores are to charge at least $15 then. So, 1 bomber vs the 6 pack price the past 3 years..umm yeah I normally don't complain about pricing because it's usually only a couple bucks, but this is ridiculous.
