How Much Will You Pay For Beer?

[VTDuffman]

Both times it was hopslam. The bar I frequent got one keg of it and I paid $10 for a 10oz glass (VA liquor laws). I have also purchased 2 6 packs at ~$22 a piece.

My favorite lunch spot when ice fishing in Wisconsin is Mr. Ed's just outside of Wild Rose. Top shelf drinks... $2.50! It takes six drinks to use 1 can of pop. Three cocktails each, 2 cheeseburgers, two orders of fries, 23 bucks. I love Wisconsin !

I guess how much I would pay really depends on what grade of weizen I'm getting, and whether it is adjuncted or not of course.

 

[bottlebomber]

I just racked my weizen onto some baby laxatives. Times are hard, for a blue collared SOB.

Just for fun..... 2 gal batch with 25+lbs of hops, maybe yield one 12oz bottle....

You'd need a ton of water to boil all those hops, in which case your grain bill would need to be considerably higher to account for absorbtion loss.

 

[pm5k00]

Maybe, maybe not. Depending on your method of brewing, if all the hops were in a bag and squeezed post boil it could work. That being said no sane person is going to try this, so no need to poop at the party.

Most expensive beers I buy are $12 bombers of Deschutes Abyss and Black Butte XX, and I pick up 2 bottles of each a year. Won't buy Rogue anymore since the bombers are up to $6-7 each unless I find the Double Mocha Porter at Costco for $6 or they have cases of Dead Guy or American Amber for $24. Hell, while I love it, I have trouble paying $10 for a sixer of Caldera when there are so many other Oregon micros available for $8.

Most I have paid was 17-18 for a sixer of expedition, hopslam, or batch 471. What I don't understand is the prices of bombers. 2 hopslams is about 6 bucks in my neck of the woods. I know a brewer that sells a 5% lager for 5$ a bomber. All the bombers they have(4) are relative to that. I would think for most breweries that have bombers it would be easier and cheaper for them. I can't imagine spending more than 3$ for 12oz. of beer that's not close to the abv or quality of hopslam

I hate that. Where in the world would you get $1 rails? I've heard of 10 with a lap dance but at a real grimy doody hole bar

Rascal's in Milwaukee. Near UWM - we used to stop in before physics lecture. Sometimes we'd even go to lecture

They are not stingy either. its standard wisconsin drink - fill with booze, splash with mixer.

What I don't understand is the prices of bombers.

You mean like finding an Arrogant Bastard bomber for 8.99 with the 6 pack 10 feet to the side of it for 11.99? Yes I would like to spend 3/4th of the price and get 1/3rd of the beer.

 

[mikeysab]

Oh, I see. We're talking about different types of rails. Now it makes sense

 

[bottlebomber]

Yeah I had a rough week and was in rare form last night... *hiding my face*

 

[mikeysab]

No, you and I are talking bout the same thing, The non liquid rails

russian river sells those little 11oz bottles of sour beer for $10+.

 

[Kate00]

I'm finding that my pain threshold for craft beer is $10 for a bomber, $12 for a 4 pack, or $15 for a sixer. I'm curious to try supplication, and some of the Mikkeler brews, but I just can't bring myself to shell out $14 for a 12 oz bottle. I may be willing to try more expensive stuff as i have extra funds available, but just cant do it for now.

 

[Darkness]

Just picked up 7 bottles of beer for 86 and am fine with that. Going to a friends tonight and will take 180 in beer for three of us to enjoy.

If only I could get my hands on one... sigh...





$8 each for a few bottles of 120 IPA: What a waste...
$22 for a bomber of Oak Aged Yeti: Everything I hoped for and more.

 

[rubadubstyl]

I paid $13.99 a piece for 5 bottles of Widmer Burbon and have one to me son. It was worth it. An amazing brew.

They are 11.2 ounces and they are $14 thank you very much

 

[IffyG]

I had my brother pick up a 4 pack of Surly Abrasive for 18 bucks. I rarely end up spending that much on beer, but since I started brewing I really have no qualms spending 20 bucks on a fancy 4 pack, sixer or bomber as I'm brewing about 90% of what I drink for pretty much nothing. Before I started brewing, I wouldn't even look at something that was more than 10 bucks.

 

[hopalotamus]

Spent 30 bucks on 4 pack of sn hoptimum and 2 22oz of ballast point sculpin Ipa

 

[SoupNazi]

Mikkeller and Epic has much of my income. Much worth it- imho.

exactly, my wife does the shopping so i forgot the price. it does taste good, i'll give them that.

One of my favorite beers is Stone's Ruination. I went to grab a 6 pack the other day, until I noticed the price was almost $19.00. I think that was the first time I put a beer back on the shelve because of the price. I understand what's involved in producing these high end beers, but I can buy SN Celebration for about $12.00 a 6 pack, so that seemed a bit outrageous.

Lol, I did that once with a 6'er of Oaked Arrogant Bastard (only time I've ever had AB or its varieties). It was just sitting in with the other $8-9 6 packs, and had no price tag. I paid with a 20, and was like, where's my change, dude?
