Jester King Release - Omniscience & Proselytism Blend 3

Wicked Weed just released Cerise Morte and Golden Angel - both for $20 a bottle.

 

You guys know you don't have to like every action a business takes, right?

 

ding ding ding

 

Both in bigger bottles than O&P. You can also get Medora which has blackberries and raspberries for $14.95. Or Recurrant with black currants for $15.95 or Marina with Peaches and Apricots for $14.95. So... yeah.

 

Actually - Cerise Morte and Golden Angel are both in 500 ml bottles at $20 each. You also have to consider that Wicked Weed's sour program is the second largest in the country. Larger production allows them to sell more bottles at a lower margin per bottle.

 

$4 increase from last release.

This will still sell out at 2 bottles per, and quickly. Therefore, they are not charging enough.

 

Cool. I was wrong about those two bottles. I still listed multiple breweries that release fruit sours that are cheaper than $20 per bottle, so it can be done and still be done very well.

 

I wonder if the price increase means I can trade higher $4$? In all seriousness, glad to see another sour back out.

 

@jesterkingbeer will draft pour prices increase on the fruited sours as well, or just bottles?

 

I know I can't brew a world class for less than $20. Although the micro flora in my apartment may be pretty awesome due to all the dog hair...

 

not with that attitude

 

From a business perspective, they should've increased the price long before now. They'd sell it out at $25. No one is being forced to buy it

 

Not sure why every price increase is met with a gasp and frustration. It's a luxury good that takes a lot of time, energy, and resources to make and they have people lining up to clean out the stock in a day or two.

I am fairly new to the Austin area - what are the odds I can mosey on over after rush hour and grab 2 bottles with no fanfare?

 

It probably ensures that most of the people that buy it will actually drink it, as well.

 

Fairly easily.

 

Yes, glass pours are going up by $1.

 

I've not seen a correlation between a beer's price and people's unwillingness to trade it. If anything, it'll just push up secondary values a bit.

 

These boards would be a lot quieter if everyone had a rudimentary understanding of basic economics.

 

Sure, but not as fun!
