    $1.97?!?!?! And it's such a tasty beer too. What the hell is Costco doing? I cannot believe there is THAT much mark up in this beer that they can let it go so cheaply. I'll definitely be back next year.

    Giving my palate a break from all the heavy hitting stouts and barleywines I've had over the winter. Trying this one for the first time courtesy of @jffrson729 . Canned 1/28/15..

    someone else explained those are manager markdowns * & .97 price points indicate discontinued & personal pricing - sounds like they got desperate and maybe blew them out at a loss?

    however, that conclusion strikes me as off in that i could see 1 location reaching that point - the fact that multiple stores had it $2.97 & $1.97 sounds coordinated & unlike 1 belligerent manager. so, maybe that was their cost? fwiw, they were originally $5.99 before the markdowns kicked in.

    $5.99 or $1.97, sounds like I need to check out the Costco beer aisle more often.

    Plus that bottle is a bit hefty, it doubles as a stubby club when shit gets real.

    they had Santa's Little Helper (same time period) at the same price. so far as i can tell, they never budged on the pricing of those though.

    Just had my first beer from Flying Fish - Exit 16 (4.31). This one is very similar to Sculpin, just not as intense. Give it a try.

    It is truly great, just like this...

    Not exactly an open beer, but I did a little birthday shopping at lunch.

    Just barely missed adding some Plead The 5th to that as well. Dang it.

    Nice haul. I also find it impossible to listen to Korpiklaani without drinking a pint or seven :sunglasses:
