Over charging for Pliny... AGAIN!

30+ minute drive doesn't sound like it costs more unless you are adding a value for your time or drive a tank.

 

Lucky you don't drive my car then. Everyone else I have met from CA thinks hour drives are short.

 

I can be in many states in 2 hours, VT, NH, RI, CT, ME and all over MA

 

Not many get Alpine, ST is ok but mostly on the sweet side, Founders is bomb(I have had so much KBS this year it's just stupid), not a DFH fan though we get it all, don't get Three floy'ds but want some zombie dust, Saranac is not my thing at all. Bell's and Cigar City don't head here either, that is why there is the trading forum. Some of the best local stuff(New England) are the obvious ones like Heady Topper and Hill Farmstead; but others like Maine Beer, Jack's Abby, Wormtown, Cambridge Brewing(the best stuff is only at the brewpub), NEBCO, etc areworth seeking.

 

You're complaining about a 30 minute drive? I'm officially over this thread.

 

I took a day off from work this year(paid) and drove a lot of miles to net 34 bottles of KBS, which I shared at least 8-10 bottles with brewers/bartenders at places I frequent as well more with as friends and other random beer lovers. I had a couple myself and trade a few for odds and ends I can't easily get. I noticed I only have 3 left, oh well. Take the drive and make it worth it

 

In all honesty you guys should be mad at those willing to pay that price, after all, the market sets the price not the store.

 

I buy online for right at 6 a bottle, I'd never pay much more than that. For the money Alpine is just as good, take your pick all 3 are great.

 

All these righteous indignation threads about some store overcharging for beer are quite silly.
A) As Manzo points out, if there wouldn't be beer geeks willing to pay the prices charged, the stores wouldn't be able to do it. It's primarily the buyers' fault;
B) As FunkyMcG & others have pointed out, It's not like there's only one good beer available. Drink something else good and fugedabadit;
C) The beer you want costs more than your disposable income? Waa-Boo-Hoo. Increase your income and you won't care what it costs. As J.P. Morgan once said, "If you have to ask (the price), you can't afford it."
D) The store bought it and the store owner can charge what he/she wants. To complain about that is tantamount to complaining when some BA writes that they drainpoured a beer. Once someone owns a beer, they can do what they want with it.
E) Yet another example of the entitlement society: "I want that beer and it should cost what I want to pay for it."
Yadayadayada....

 

:-(

 

If your the avtar he missed that one by a mile.

 

If that were me in the avatar I would be too busy touching myself right now to post.

 

Funny as shit, but I still like the avtar.

 

I bought Pliny off-the-shelf in Ohio for less than that. I'd order online going forward though.

 

Where at online?
