    I do it all the time. Because great beer used to be a hell of a lot cheaper, and we're not talking about overhead or inflation driving up the brewer's costs. Luckily most of the brewers that made great beer 5-10 years ago still do so, and it's still reasonably priced. It's just the new operations that have supported the price hike. And that's coming from someone who spends thousands on beer every year.


    Back on topic, I've never been to the tasting room. I usually get my fill at bars. Do they really charge $15 for a tasting flight, and how many beers does that come with (4 oz. pours?)

    I really haven't paid attention - anyone in the Bay Area getting their beers for Beer Week?

    Societe is making some of the best IPA's and DIPA's coming out of the SD area right now. These guys know what is up.

    Maybe stick to the badass Riverside breweries then.

    What does my hometown have to do with anything? Did I say Riverside made the best beer?

    I'm curious as to which other four breweries you thought were better than Societe in a trip around there.

    Societe has lessened my Alpine visits. Home to Alpine = 12 miles. Work to Societe = 1 mile.

    definitely want to get over there tomorrow to try The Roustabout. Love everything they make pretty much. Also, think that they used to charge 15 for the belgian flight but you got to keep the glass, but they are a lot cheaper now.

    Nope. My point is you're not going to beat CA law when it comes to the growler issue. Beer geeks spend an incredible amount on beer. All those growlers rattling around a 1 time purchase won't kill you or your bank account. Relax people.

    More goes into this than just gouging. Stainless is a helluva lot more expensive and starting up a new brewery is also expensive as hell. Most of the other breweries have cheaper equipment or maybe better lease terms. There's a lot more that goes into the price point that "Bwa ha ha, we made an IPA, let's charge $25 for a growler fill".

    Go check out their tasting room, it's pretty sweet.
