Well that's not good. I have got some stores that have it in stock in Atlanta, let me grab some for you and get you hooked up. I'll be heading out of town early tomorrow morning but I'll get you covered Monday.

Dan, 

 

 Thanks for reaching out. Your best bet to score some Habanero Sculpin is Cumming Beverage Mart or Jax. If you can't find any at those two store please call/text me and the # below and I will hook you up. Thanks for the support!

Hello,

 

I live in Cumming, GA and love your Habanero Sculpin.  Went to 3 different stores today and all are out.  Did you stop brewing it?  I’ve never seen it run out before.  Please let me know, and thank you!

    You could drive to the brewery. 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Read up on these guys and apparently they have sold out to The Man. Sounds like good beer though.

    I really like the Sculpin pineapple. All Ballast Point beers are excellent IMO. Kind of hard not to sell out to the Man @Eoin when he offers the kind of money he does AND allows you to continue your independence brewing. Of course with the outside money input that could be subject to change.

    It's an interesting beer but the heat overpowers a lot of the other notes for me.  And I really like spicy food.  Worth trying but the Habanero Sculpin is either a love it or hate it.  No thanks for me.

    This surprises me. The Creature Comforts folks NEVER tell people where their beer is in stock.  Word is the revenooers in Atlanta look on that as a form of advertising direct-to-consumer, I believe.

    It seems like Tropicália is the only one that they have trouble keeping in stock. It is definitely a good IPA.

    I'd love to see Deschutes make it to the east coast.  Their Black Butte Porter - now there's a beer!

    I have. The fruit kills it for me. Good? Yes. Great? No.

    Love habanero sculpin, but for me, I like one and then on to other things.  The second one is not as good.  Glad to hear they're so responsive.  I have heard they made some ghost pepper sculpin, but I've never seen it.  Probably too much heat for me.
    Love you bro!

    I think the construction for Deschutes starts in 2018.  Ballast Point a bit earlier.

    That's gotten a lot better lately as CC has ramped up their production, though the perception hasn't changed.  It's become kind of a running joke on /r/ATLBeer, since people keep showing up to post a picture of a pallet of Trop at some gas station OTP as if that will start a stampede. Even Koko Buni's pretty easy to come by this year, at least around Athens.  Tickets to their special releases, not so much.
