Wolves & People

Rhubarb + Doug Fir sounds so weird I may have to seek it out.

 

So this is happening right now: https://www.facebook.com/events/1240018079353608/

All I can say is... $5 for a single 16oz can? With their 750s being priced at $14-18 I don't under stand this pricing.

 

Because Tree House. And Trillium.

Wait, $5 for a tallboy of Pilsner? Hahahaha.

 

That's where prices are headed to. With the amount of time a Pils has to spend in the tank, takes away the chance to brew other stuff.

 

I get that lagers are time intensive, but we're reaching $20/4 pack ridiculousness.

I hear if you read a Wolves & People announcement with "They Live" sunglasses, you can see "FOMO" everywhere in huge, bold letters.

 

But yet people have no problem paying $5 for a pint on draft. Why should a can that created more work and money be cheaper?

 

Because when you buy a pint at a bar, you aren't just paying for the beer.

"Created more work"? Are you saying that the amount of work (number of people employed?) in the production of the $5 can of beer is greater than the amount of work created in the serving of a $5 pint at a bar?

(Edit: If I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, let me know. I'm genuinely interested in hearing what your position is.)

 

It takes more work and money to fill individual cans and bottles at a brewery than it does a keg. Also anything small is always priced more per ounce or weight than larger items. Just go to the grocery store to see that.

 

Please tell me more about this expression, John.

 

It implies the poor, innocent farm boy, unfamiliar with the ways of the city, and trusting of everyone, gets taken advantage of at every opportunity. Someone who has been around for a while is said to have not just have fallen off the truck.

 

Yeah, I agree ... $5 for a 16 oz. can of pilsner seems ridiculous to me. I did however grab a couple of cans, because I'm that guy. I thought it was really good, but it would have had to really blow my mind for me to stop fixating on that price, which it did not.

However, I'm a big fan of La Truffe. Really has a nice creamy roastiness to it that goes great with the hazelnuts. Not too thin either. Great easy drinking stout at 4.5% ABV ... perfect to sip on all day while watching football with a storm going on outside.

 

Kinda curious to this as well. Haven't heard any updates on this at all. Or did I miss something? I contributed early on and I think I am promised 4 bottles at some point. Sent an email to Christian last month but didn't get a reply.

 

There is a release for cellar club members next month (date not specified yet, this is just from speaking to Christian) where the 2ea of all six cellar club bottles will be available for pick up.

Bottles can't be shipped to members directly due to legal requirements but they will work with your local bottle shop if you provide them the information and ship there. Keep emailing Christian, he's usually pretty good about responding.

 

Did I miss the cellar club member release?

 

As far as I can tell, last communication about cellar club bottles was Oct 11 and said they were hoping for thanksgiving week. That didn't happen but, not so surprising, haven't received any update.

 

I heard that Jake left Wolves and People for St Somewhere, and that it actually happened some time ago. Can anyone confirm this is true. And if so, who has been brewing?
