I had a pint last night at dinner. It was not worth the $8 i paid, but yall talked it up enough to make me want to try it. It was tasty, but i wouldn't put it beyond other ipas.

 

 

I have to say after having both the grapefruit Sculpin and the regular Sculpin...The Ballast Point Sculipin (regular) has my vote as my favorite beer to date. 

 

Both are really good but I like the muted Grapefruit flavor in the regular Sculpin.

So I have given up my search of the elusive Grapefruit Sculpin in the Charlotte area. I have been to two Total Wines and also 201 Central. Spoke to the manager and she said they received 2 shipments of the Grapefruit Sculpin this year and they were both sold out within 24 hours and there are no more deliveries available for this year.

 

Frugal McDoogal's may have it still (I guess I could call) but just don't have the time to make the trip down there. Maybe next year.

Cases of it in Columbia SC...at Green's and on tap at Flying Saucer in Columbia so I would imagine as well at the Flying Saucer in Charlotte in the Northeast. 

 

They had Ballast Point Habernero, regular Sculpin(My Fave), and Grapefruit.

Flying Saucer probably does have it and is on my way home so I will duck in there one day after work. Thanks....I was just hoping to find it to go. 

 

201 Central did have Ballast Point Big Eye and Ballast Point Dorado along with the regular Sculpin. None of which I have tried yet.

I'd be happy to get you some broseph. I'll see what it'll cost to ship a sixer your way. If it's not too expensive, sixer is on me.

DM me your address or at least let me know your zip code.

Really cool of you but you don't have to do all that. I will come across it around here one day. The Flying Saucer that was mentioned that might have it is about 2 minutes from my work and although I couldn't get a sixer, I can at least have a pint or two. 

 

Greene's liquor store in SC was mentioned and I'll be going past the one in Myrtle Beach in a few days so maybe they might have it. 

 

I appreciate the offer though!

I may start a thread on the regular sculpin..lol it is my fave beer currently..duck rabbit chocolate stout is good if you like Guinness type beers but heavy.

So on  my quest to find Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin I came across a couple of other Grapefruit beers that I decided to try. 

 

Illusive Traveler's wasn't bad...a tad on the sweet side but drinkable while hanging poolside:

Schofferhoffer was terrible. It's like drinking liquid sugar with a splash of grapefruit juice. Woke up with diabetes this morning. Plus it has 2.9% alcohol which I think technically makes it a wine cooler. Do not drink.

Welp I picked up a sixer tonight at BevMo, one of the employees walking by at check out even commented on what a great beer it is.

I gotta say I am disappoint. Tasty, goes down smooth but don't like the Alka Seltzer Plus after taste. Will continue to investigtae the sixer more closely. Could be it's so far out of the normal realm it's not hitting my pallet right.

Only getting a 6.2 on the KG scale.

I did enjoy Habanero Sculpin but you can't drink too many. It is pretty damn spicy. I also enjoy Piper Down, but GF Sculpin is my favorite. I actually drink that beer with breakfast.

​I was at the Flying Saucer in Columbia and our hot flirty waitress kept giving us like unlimited sample glasses and I got some of the Habanero.  it was a good break up of beer but I had to go to a chocolate milk stout afterwards. 

I was wasted and probably proposed marriage to her since this hot girl had a boba feet belt and a Nintendo 64 tattoo behind her knee. My wife would have to approve.
