    If big box stores only then I won't see it. Don't shop at them and PA does not get beer at Costco types. Interested in the chili stout. BA BF is about $15-18 when it's around. Not tried it yet.


    Enjoy

    Tried the Dunkelweizen, Six Rights IPA, and Chocolate Chili Stout at the SN Torpedo Room about three weeks ago. All are good beers with my favorite being the Dunkelweizen followed by a close second the Chocolate Chili Stout. Dunkelweizen has a nice, fruity characteristics where as the Stout has just a slight chili tastes to a good base beer. I can see some people be disappointed because the chili is not front and center.

    My bad for assuming it was a twelvepack of 12 oz. Only defense is this would be the first SN 25.4 oz. fourpack I can remember ever seeing. Normally $30+ for one fourpack of 750mls, roughly the equivalent of eight 12 oz., would be all but unthinkable for me. And I've passed on BA Narwhal and Bigfoot in 25.4s because they were dollars beyond my comfort point for a bomber. But If the BA Bigfoot is normally $15-20 alone, I suppose it could easily be justified. Better yet, consider it $7.50+ per 25.4 oz. which is not bad for a premium group. If this shows up in my area for that price I'll likely spring for it.

    It sounds like an expensive four pack, if this was eight 12 oz instead of four 24 oz Id be all over it. I might pick it up if I see it, but would much rather just get the barrel aged bigfoot separate.

    They should have released this as the beer camp mixed 12 pack.

    Agreed, that'd be way better. I wanted to open one of them the other night but was already pretty blitzed and it would have been such a waste of overpriced beer. If I'd had the option of just 12 oz I wouldn't have hesitated.

    I always prefer 12 oz over bombers. I also would like to drink one and cellar the other, but do agree sometimes you've already had a few and opening a bigger bottle just isn't ideal.

    If I see this I'll be all over it. Good reason to migrate from Sam's Club to Costco.

    I had BA Bigfoot on tap last year. The bourbon/oak/hops come off a considerably more aggressive than Sucaba. I like Bigfoot, bourbon, and barrel aged beers. It was good, but I have passed on 750's of BA Bigfoot at $20 more times than I can count.

    That being said, it could have some aging potential if you want to go that route.

    Da FUQ? Some of you BA's need to take a mathematics refresher course. So, you'd rather spend $40 on 96 ounces of beer ($.42/ounce), but you WON'T spend $30 on 144 ounces of beer ($.21/ounce)? No wonder breweries keep ripping us off, simpletons can't do the math.

    Visited a Costco in the Kansas City area and no sign of this.

    Where are people seeing these packs? I'd really like to pick one up.

    My warehouse is expecting these in on a load tomorrow I believe. Chicago Suburbs should see them starting next week if they are indeed our truck.

    Anyone notice that this 22oz BA Bigfoot says aged in bourbon barrels as opposed to the previous 750ml format that said aged in whiskey barrels?

    I wonder what the specific barrels were that were used b1-b3. . . ?

    Yeah, but what's in that Alpine Growler in the OP pic, @Brent212 ?

    Yes I'd rather spend 40 on beer I like than 30 on beer I don't like. I've never felt like I've been ripped off by a brewery.

    It used to house some delicious Nelson, but currently it's empty, unfortunately.
