I'm more than happy to pay $13.80 a sixer for this. Basically the same price as Centennial IPA and comparable in quality IMO. Good on Cameron's!

Also, check this math-a-magic:

Cameron's RPA Bomber: $5.95 per 650 mL -> $9.15/L

Cameron's RPA 6-pack: $13.80 per ( 6 x 341 mL) -> $6.74/L

25% of $9.15 is $2.29. $9.15 subtract $2.29 is $6.86. In short, a savings of around (just a little more than) 25% from the old price. 25% is a lot extra to pay for a bomber, no?

Remember when it was 16 bucks a six pack brewery only? Talk about a change...I wonder if its a recipie change using less pricey ingrediants or just typical marketplace pricing?

My guess would be economy of scale. Full capacity vs pilot/small system.

Not if you can taste the additional Table Presence. Developing a taste for a beer's Table Presence is encouraged, and I believe the LCBO now offers courses for honing this special skill, just for appreciating Ontario bombers and 750mls.

Sorry couldn't resist fanning the flames.

Either way, good deal...I'm looking forward to paying that price for a six pack!

Next year all bombers will be packaged in those little wicker baskets that Cantillon is sometimes served in. They will be an additional $2 and be mandatory. It's for our own good.

Interesting that their tag line is 'brewed by a connoisseur, not an accountant'...

Not sure if it has been posted here yet (softly curses search function), but did find a batch of the Historic Ales from Scotland packs @ Summerhill had Kelpie in them. Same product # as the regular pack, but the regular mix was in a grey box whilst the one with Kelpie is in the trad brown box.

Been looking for that one for over a decade now...

Shame that both sets have the same product #.

The Erin Mills Mississauga LCBO only had the non-Kelpie set.

I wish there was an easy way to tell which stores had the Kelpie one.

Ultimately they've decided to sell this in a more affordable format, so I don't think they deserve to be slagged.

Also, the problem is the endemic over-pricing of the format, not one brewery in particular. I could see it being hard to buck the trend. It could also lend credence to their tag line, since I'd imagine a connoisseur to just look at what the format goes for and sell them for that. Which seems to be the case here: just matching whatever a given format is generally listed for.
