Why do the 4 packs sell so much faster than the bombers did? I remember being able to find the bombers pretty easily in the New Orleans area, but have not really seen the 4 packs anywhere.

Just finished the last bomber that I stashed away a week or two ago.

How was it ?



The bombers release wasn't nearly as good as the last two. I bought 2 bombers, thought it was overrated. 2nd batch in 4 packs I became a freaking goat farmer.

It was pretty good. I haven't had a chance to try the 4 packs so I can't really compare. I guess its gotten a lot better since ot has been flying off the shelves.

What should have been my response? I'm no beer connoisseur, and not exactly sure how it was supposed to taste.

I wasn't blown away by it and it wasn't bad, hence the pretty good label.

I haven't had a chance to have it since they moved away from the bombers to the 4 packs, so I can't compare it to how it tastes now.

Just that IPAs aren't really meant for aging. They're meant for immediate consumption.

Similar situation, I was with my girlfriend and her friends over the 4th of july this year in the poconos. We went beer shopping which I bought a very large Bells variety pack that was about 2 weeks old from packaging, so it was nice and fresh. One of the friends brought from home a 6 pack of Lagunitas IPA. Of course she offered me one and before accepting I looked at the bottle date, which was sometime in late 2012. She was drinking, and loving might I add, this 18 month old IPA.

I had to try it because I wanted to see what I was missing out on. It tasted like a sock after a football game. Absolutely awful.

Myself, R2R and bbrou opened a ghost bomber in August. None of us could finish a small pour of it. R2R might have even thrown up.

Moral of the stories (and yours), you like what you like I guess.
