Shiner is making an 11% ABV Barrel Aged Marzen?

The ****?

Alright... special LIF if anyone wants to play. Please use hashtag #shinerbuild in your post (because this thread is long) and include a Texas or Disney meme. Whomever gets the closest, to the penny, at the grocery store I go to (HEB) to how much I pay for 1 bottle of this will win a bottle (assuming I’m able to get 2). Will pick a winner as soon as I get one and will alert on here and via PM. Price is Right rules apply if two people are within the same amount of cents.

Keep in mind a bomber of regular Shiner is like... $1.99. Their highest ABV Beer ever is like 5.7

Would certainly smash.

#shinerbuild

$10.99

^That's me after I win

 

[nathanmiller]

#shinerbuild - $8.63

I'm actually super interested in trying this silly thing. I bet it'll be fun.

Hopefully not a repost. I searched but sometimes I fail.

As soon as she said, "Take my money!" I realized they're not so different than us, haha.

It didn't work...I just sat here for 5 minutes waiting for the 504 Gateway errors to go away so I could post a snarky comment.

With some of the more.... prolific mule jobs that seem to be happening these days, esp. as people are starting to charge for mule fees... crossing state lines, etc.... have people gotten into legal trouble yet? Seems like just a matter of time.

For instance, if you're a Texas resident, if you go out of the state and come back in (mainly written this way for Mexico, but also seems applicable to.. say... Louisiana) you're only permitted

How much alcohol can I bring back from Mexico and other locations outside of Texas?


The maximum quantity of alcoholic beverages you may import into Texas is:

1 gallon of distilled spirits
3 gallons of wine and
24 twelve-ounce containers of beer.

Paired with...

Yes. All alcoholic beverages imported into our state are subject to the state liquor tax and a $3.00 administrative fee collected by Taxpayer Compliance Officers of the TABC. Payment of the fee and taxes is documented by a tax stamp placed on the bottles by our employees. Please note that failure to pay the tax and obtain the appropriate stamp will subject violators to a fine ranging from $100 to $1,000 and/or a jail term of up to one year.

So say I went to Parish, picked up 30 cases of DDH Ghost this weekend and got pulled over on my way home... seems like a perilous bind to find myself in.


Anyone heard stories like this actually being prosecuted?

Just swap manatee for neckbeard and he’s been doing beer commentary for years

I should amend what I said with a lot of people in the industry got offended.

This is just an ad?

 

[WhalezB4Rarez]

So I saw a rumor that Dogfish Head is going to lower their prices to compete with lower priced beer. I assume this is a shot back at the ABinBev $14.99 12 packs of Goose/Devil's Backbone I see advertised all around my area.

This used to be quite common in the Southeastern PA area, from what I was told. This was before my time there, but apparently the state run stores wine and liquor stores used to be closed all weekend (you could still buy beer from case stores), plus often had not great variety and prices so people would go to NJ and Delaware to stock up on stuff. How I heard people got caught was something along the lines out-of-state cops would report the PA license plates at liquor store parking lots to PA cops and they would pull people over once they crossed back into the state. I don't think people would get jail-time, but a hefty fine for violations, mostly related to avoiding paying taxes on the booze.

For muling, I think it would be more incredibly bad luck. It's not really common for a cop to ask to look in your trunk when you get pulled over* ya know, and I wonder how many cops would know or bother enforcing that law. I will be quite amused if I hear of such a story, though.




*this probably only applies to white folk

I got pulled over once coming back into Texas from New Mexico... those 85 mph speed limits just aren't quite enough sometimes. I had 6 cases of La Cumbre Elevated/Project Danks in my Jeep. The cop saw it in the back when he walked up and asked me about it. We talked about IPAs for like 5 minutes on the side of the road, and he got some new recommendations to try. Didn't get a ticket, got sent on my merry way.


I am also white folk.

Even lower than they already have?

Normal price for DFH was like... $12.99 8-9 years ago when I moved here....

6-packs are now $9.99.

Years since I've actually bought DFH.... probably 3-4. Fuckers need to bring back Raison D'Etre as a shelf beer.

DFH just got to Europe a couple months ago
€6 for a single 60 minute

About the same price here (tiny bit less). Also 9 months old when I bought it. Never again.

I was wondering where you had heard about this, I hadn't seen it anywhere else other than CBD, though I didn't look very hard. Do you get CBD/BBD every day?

I haven't seen their beers on shelves or in a tap for AT LEAST 4 years. LOL.

Oh ok. The article itself is pretty interesting. It calls out Lagunitas, Ballast Point, and Stone as brands that have lower price per case across their portfolio, so DFH are going to be optimizing pricing and portfolio mix in each market in order to be able to compete.
