    Depends what kind of beer though. You're not making enough money in a day to afford anything from Rogue. *snicker*

    $1.80 for 500 mL of beer? They obviously aren't talking about Supplication.

    No wonder there are so many people from India here in the U.S.A. They're all beer lovers!

    Shit forget supplication, how about sours in general.

    By that math I should be able to get most 750s for around $2.40. Now that would be nice.

    It's called sarcasm. I don't know about where you live, but in my area, Rogue beers are extremely over-priced compared to every other brewer.

    The real question is why you would even want to buy anything from Rogue.

    They are all royalty there so the numbers are a bit skewed.

    I make on average 77 dollars a day (before taxes) and I love their beer, but they don't have much in the 6 dollar range a lot of it no matter the format is going to run me a 7th of my days work. (before my discount) If you dont get my discount and make a similar wage, I can definitely see where it would be hard to pull the trigger.

    Hell yellow snow is a 14 dollar 6 pack and and 8 or 9 and change bomber... I love that beer but I have to hand sell it... and its not easy unless someone is running low on IPAs to try. If your already paying Union Jack prices I might be able to sell you yellow snow if you continually hover in the 9.99 price range... Again they make some great brews but damn they are pricey for most people can get.
