    Of course it is regulated, but high prices charged are not in any market I am aware of. And, your use of the term liassez-faire is another non sequitur (or even a straw man), since I claimed no such thing. Nice try, though.

    If you're so informed, perhaps you can explain how pricing these beers and events so high is propping up the black market, as you claimed. I'll wait.

    Nice mental gymnastics there. As I said, an interesting understanding of economics.

    People will pay what the market will bear, especially on the secondary market. Are you seriously suggesting that the secondary market sellers are not already charging the max they can get away with? If so, what is your justification for that assumption?

    So now the price out the door doesn’t change what people will ask for? The “max they can get away with” on secondary is NOT affected by what someone has to pay to get their bottles? You understand, if your point is that the secondary market is correcting for the demand here, that that means TGs business model and pricing would be predicated on illegal resale and distribution by consumers, correct?

    You’re really straining your neck under the weight of that fedora, searching for away that a brewery should be as competitively priced as it can be found on the black market.

    Thanks, had last looked before they updated and then saw it after I posted.

    Had fingers crossed for some different stout options. This 9 hour RT is looking less and less likely.

    They are pretty quick about updating their list. And they don’t really hold back on anything so when going to the taproom there’s nothing special behind the counter that’s not listed.

    It may have been lost amidst the other talk about TG pricing, but they also announced another five course beer dinner that involves DB Assassin:

    https://www.tgbrews.com/events/dbassassin-beer-and-food-pairing

    If you pay to attend this event, on top of the DB Assassin you get, you can also purchase a set of Tequila Assassin and Vanilla Bean Assassin on top of your $250.

    Wondering how long they will leave the Thursday spot open? What if.... what if it doesn't sell???

    Can Clark handle that?

    Honestly think the biggest issue with it is being on a Thursday. Friday sold in like 10 minutes people usually don’t have 4 hours to spend at a brewery on a random Thursday for 2.5k.

    I was going to go but there were no private charter jets available that day. What am I supposed to do take a limo like a pleb? My guests will think I'm going broke FFS!

    Charter a jet? As in you don't own one for this kind of thing?
