    Well, that might be because people will keep buying them at that price! (In which case, maybe TG will INCREASE the price!)

    Yeah, but p'Sue is priced equivalent to $5.00 per bomber... same as Fair State Pahlay'Ahlay.

    Any word if TG will hit the St. Paul area today? Sounds like a lot of the West Metro got theirs yesterday.

    $9.99 for a four pack of Sue is not bad at all. At least they are not only bombers like before. I look at it like they just cut the price in half. People complain based on comparing Sue to other beer prices, but there's a big reason why it was so sought after, because it's at least a notch above (if not more as I believe) than other beers.

    I mean honestly if it gets back to pre-Beerhub bomber quality AND is $9.99 for essentially two bombers, who can complain?

    Seriously? :grinning:

    Actually, I was annoyed at the price + packaging combination. A 4 pack of 12 oz just seems like they are borderline sleazy (same reaction, BTW, to Cold Press), until I thought about it a little more and did some comparisons.

    Compared with Pahlay'Ahlay, for example, I do prefer the flexibility of a 4 pack of 12 oz vs 2 bombers. I can choose to drink 1 or 3, and not just 2 or 4!

    Anyway, I'm OK with the price, but it won't be a high volume purchase for me (just as Cold Press and anything in bombers aren't now).

    Yeah, I have come to the conclusion I am screwed in this market. May have a lead, just not sure how much it will cost me.

    Was it a 24 pack, called the Game Over pack I think? I think I saw that at Total Wine in Roseville when I was there Tuesday. Huge stack of it.
