lol reality check from modern times hopefully. that’s the same price it was in san diego. 2 for $32. ridiculous

That's just how much their BA beer costs.

right i meant reality check in a new market

i thought about that when i heard they were opening a location up there

much cheaper competition that’s just as good if not better

there’s tons of monster park and devils teeth turding it up around here

their ipas are well priced tho

 

[Wino1]

a LOT of places have it, but who cares bc hazebro!

Which places? I'll take BP over haze any day.

Yeah that's what I really don't understand about MT. Their every day fare is almost priced below market and their BA stuff is priced well above.

You're a tedious one ain't cha? Some FW cans are $10, some are cheaper. In my experience they're around $7-$8 a pop, perhaps someone can chime in how much they shelled over for Tundra/Eliza? Viking's Lament was more experience [IB$ OMG NOT AN IPA!!!11].

Alvarado sell for cheapest I've seen $24 a 4 pack, I've seen them as high as $32.

Eliza was $7 a can and worth every penny. **** is delicious.

The best deal in hoppy cans around here is Moonraker.

I find distro Moonraker to be pretty hit or miss. Seems like their best stuff tends to stay in the 916 and the slow-moving stuff gets pushed out to 3rd party retail around the Bay Area/Central Valley.

The best hoppy can deal are probably the $1.79 20oz stovepipes of 12th of Never... (sorry not hazy iirc).

Was it worth dat line tho?

 

[abecall98]

Well, these cans definitely don't disappoint in the looks department. They do know how to market.

Agreed, I was just saying out of the hyped hoppy producers, Moonraker is cheaper than Cellarmaker, Revision, Fieldwork, etc.

That 12th of Never is great though.

We didn't wait long in San Mateo. Maybe 10 mins? We were sitting at a table and overall they were so slammed that we just went up to the to-go line to order.

I didn't know I wanted it until I tried it on tap. Awesome beer.

 

[abecall98]

Well, I was wrong. A little disappointing in the steep price for that DIPA too. I'll still snag a pack of Maui though.

Same as CM

 

[abecall98]

Eh, still not something I am willing to pay for a DIPA, I got my personal limits. I think that Scarcity is pretty good at $25 for a triple though.

I’m shocked they’re charging the same as CM. Rent is a little bit higher in SF...

These breweries aren't doing a normal cost + % = cost to customer. They are just throwing out numbers and seeing if they stick.

 

[litheum94]

Modern Times just opened in Portland and are charging over $16 for a 12oz BA adjunct nitro stout in a can. People are not happy.

Yeah....I bought the strawberry vanilla version cause the raspberry version I had on tap was fantastic (don’t make beer purchases when already drunk). Loved the strawberry as well.

But that is definitely a one time purchase for me. It does make me wonder about how they’ll do in Portland as far as their more expensive stuff is concerted.

 

[RyanG1]

Part of the cost of these expensive AF cans is the label art work, how else are struggling can artists suppose to make a living in this world! Support the arts!

The fact I was pounding awesome beer everywhere in Portland for like $4, I'm really curious how MT does. Especially in the high end category.

Yeah, it definitely won’t be my go to, but I enjoy their beer enough to stop by on a monthly basis.

And they’re already getting enough money from me through the club

Cascade seems to be doing fine there.

yeah those are a little too steep for Altamont imo, but I am not surprised considering what they charged for that sour in 2016 and that mo. even though I live in Livermore, I've found myself drinking less and less Altamont each year. mostly because I am not a big fan of their house yeast. I get the same flavors from every beer regardless of what it was hopped with

kinda surpised, i guess i was hoping for moonraker prices. that means 8-9 retail on that triple, bummer

How convenient are those from I-80?

Its like, ****, I'd love to hit New Glory, but don't wanna get too far off the beaten path.

Both a mile or two from I-80. Very convenient and on your way. Moksa is definitely worth the stop, and Nix Taco is the official taco of SBG. They make a variety of meats and flavors for their tacos, truly unique. You won't be disappointed.

Ok, yeah Moksa is closer to I-80 than Moonraker, will hit them up after Moonraker. Sucks (for me) their can release isn't until the next day, but makes sense with everyone else's releases on Friday.

That's that Nu dude's place that was at the Eclipse party? Both him and the Out of Bounds dudes seemed cool, would easily spend my $$$ for their congeniality alone.

Burrito Palace is my longest relationship (26 years and counting) I dunno if I could risk cheating on her . . .

Yep, Nu runs Moksa, and Bryan is a manager/brewer at Out of Bounds. Worth the trip to visit them IMO.

Hope so, just depends how long my leash is.
