thanks birks - went there saturday, good selection. seemed like they had a real good selection for growlers too - clown shoes space cake anyone? you just got your son an extra 30-50 dollar a week customer.

they also had 23 day old sculpin cans which was awesome bc ive been waiting for a new batch to come out here. ive stopped buying sculpin bc every can/bottle the last few months were from april.

prices were also really good for montgomery county where stores have to pay a 25% mark up for beers not in the govt distributor network which im sure is very limited. you can order stuff but if the county needs to get it from a rpiv distributor, it costs the markup.

sculpin at 16.99 vs 14.99 is reasonable given the 25% markup. the "craft beer store" a half mile form my house and also within montgomery county sells it at 24.99.
