And they are required to purchase in minimum quanities. But focusing on bombers, they'll be able to do away with that overhead and focus on getting beer out to the masses.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02390860551767424713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-90781687201490954062010-03-03T14:21:51.655-05:002010-03-03T14:21:51.655-05:00In my experience, at best you pay a small premium ...In my experience, at best you pay a small premium for a bomber. At worst, bombers are outright gouging. <br /><br />My favorite example is Stone Ruination, which costs $19 per six pack and $7.50 per bomber (Kahn's prices). The bomber is the SAME BEER in a LESS COSTLY package (as LBC is pointing out) and yet it costs almost 30% more by volume.<br /><br />Personally, I like that Founders rare beers come in 12oz. You can buy two for the same price of comparable rare bombers, open one and save one for another time. Bombers force you to have a larger volume at one time.CorrNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371462855078578516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-53045877686309498812010-03-02T17:15:30.776-05:002010-03-02T17:15:30.776-05:00In MOST instances bombers are a rip off.
Brewery ...In MOST instances bombers are a rip off.<br /><br />Brewery A sells 6 pack for $9. That is $1.50 per 12 oz beer and $3.00 for 24 oz of beer. Brewery A then decides to sell 22 oz bombers at $5-$6 a pop. No thanks.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972687327086509103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-12328592071067656862010-03-02T16:14:21.541-05:002010-03-02T16:14:21.541-05:00Would you like to share your inside information on...Would you like to share your inside information on the pricing for the bombers? I understand the industry trend, but I can't help but think the price of two 12oz bottles of Nemesis would be in line with one 22oz bomber.<br /><br />Personally I'd like to see Tippecanoe Common in 12oz bottles and more limited run items (dare I say Big Boris?) in bombers.rodneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280976642258884193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-3504412501988922962010-03-02T08:46:37.871-05:002010-03-02T08:46:37.871-05:00In the next year, look for LBC to transition away ...<i>In the next year, look for LBC to transition away from 12 ounce bottles to 22 ounce bottles. It is less costly to produce and allows them to bottle more of their other beers.</i><br /><br />The real reason is that it allows them to rake in the insane profit margin on bombers. Screw bombers -- I'm sticking to Founders and Bell's!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
