Alpine spotted in MA

Anyone understand the dating, I thought it was 6 months but found bottles dated drink by 7months out.

 

I passed at $ 19 DOLLARS for a six pack. Yikes.

 

Fort Point Market had Pure Hoppiness for $16 a six-pack.

 

^^^ Same thing. Better than fresh trillium right across the street?

 

Of course not, quality-wise. But it is less than half the price. I'd still rather pay more for Trillium of course, which is what I do.

This is not directed at you, but it continues to baffle me how we collectively find a $16 six-pack abhorrent, but can't pay $10-12 for a 750ml bottle fast enough. Unless we give breweries like Trillium reason to believe we'll pay premium prices for premium products regardless of format, there will be a powerful incentive to stick with large-format bottles because the market will tolerate those in a way that $16-18 six-packs aren't. I've said time and time again that I would gladly pay $20 for a four-pack of pint cans from Trillium.
