    8$ for the Quarts. Some places sell 6 packs for less than that. From what I hear these are lingering on the shelves. Dumb move by Lagunitas.

    The ones I saw came out maybe 5 or 6 weeks ago and were bottled in early January

    And ya, they are lingering in glen ellyn. At least they were last week...

    I've seen it for 7.99, ive seen 6 packs for 7.49 so yes and yes. And maybe some stores are selling but plenty of them aren't, i've heard stores that have sold 2-3 since they've gotten the original shipment . And 6.99 is still a rip off compared to the 6pk price...

    No way it lasts, if it does I will lose a lot of respect for craft drinkers bending themselves over for the taking.

    It's a perfect sized vessel to share over ramen with several friends. I like it.

    But you could spend a buck more and get twice the beer.

    Ok, I believe it. Is a quart of Sucks $7.99 in Wisconsin, or someplace in Illinois?

    Regardless, 7.99 is an absolute rip, don't know how you could condone that beer at that price.

    With January bottle dates they are way past their prime, only hit long island a couple of weeks ago, took way too long to get here.

    the 32 oz size is not for the person drinking at home...It is not designed for the person who will be casually popping those small 12 oz beers, watching re-runs of say "yes to the dress". The 32oz/40 and 64oz bottles are made for the person on the move, who wants their beer in a convenient and large vessel, they don't have time to open all of those bottles....they prefer to keep their beer duct taped to their hands; as it was intended to be drank'd

    Anyone who has bought beer in both Illinois and Wisconsin knows that there is a big difference between the beer prices in both states.

    That quite a mark up for that minuscule luxury imo.

    Regardless, the quart prices suck. And as you're putting it you are also exposing the suckiness of IL beer prices.

    The show is called "Say Yes to the Dress" :wink:. Or as we in the know call it, "SYTTD."
