I just got my "Pumking" goblet in the mail from Southern Tier and it's begging to be filled!

Well if that is the one, we've had them for about a month now at my store.

Interesting, because all the ones I have seen the Value Add is just 8 cans for the price of 7. I will have to look again, any idea if it just a standard glass, or maybe something different for haloween?

Last year at Halloween, there was a Guinness glass with a firey Guinness symbol on it which somehow depicted the gates of hell. Plus, Guinness is a meal in a glass and it what it means to be Irish.

I thought the Guinness last year was the inflatable mini tombstone/cooler thingy.

What I saw was a silver box with the beer said Guiness on the glass and "The True beer of Halloween" on the box and on the other side of the glass. Guinness superimposed over a stone harp with lightning bolts around it.

This listing though is not in the system:

676676 Guinness Draught 8 pack Value Add GUINNESS BREWING 4.20% 8X440 ML $20.95

So was the inflatable a value added or was the glass, so is the glass last years or a rerun or old stock?

A good question. Let me find out for you today. I'll post my findings when I get to work.

I opened up one, and while the artwork on the package doesn't show this, the glass is actually a limited edition glass with a cool looking Raven on it. the package does say limited edition, but fails to show what the glass looks like. it is actually a cool looking glass. It is just too bad the beer sucks so bad.

Excellent. $8.95 is not a terrible price either, considering...
