    Why is it inappropriate to compare the price/oz of two beers? The format shouldn't matter. As I saw someone say on here once, I'm buying beer, not collecting bottles.

    I don't think it's inappropriate, I think it just depends on your philosophy on buying beer. If you're going for the absolute value of beer when purchasing, then comparing price per oz makes sense. If you go based on the typical price of bombers (higher than 4 and 6 packs, usually), then you'll probably come up with a different set of rules on what is and isn't a good deal. I fall into the latter group; after purchasing a million Pipeworks and FFF bombers at anywhere from $11-18 a pop, not to mention a bunch of Bourbon Country bombers at anywhere from $25-50 (my girlfriend really likes Prop '14), anything less seems like a good deal to me.

    Hmm. So taking on new markets and increasing their distribution foot print with contacting what they have brewed and getting further out from the center, and less able to fully control what they are doing is how they are handling damage control and putting that bit a of drama behind them.
    Interesting.
    I really pissed off the best welder I have, so I'm having all my bikes made in China going forward.
