Side Project / Shared (2022)

Living vicariously and as a fellow MA resident, For Gabe seems pretty can't miss and would be on my list. Also, Floue Floue going in the wild direction. Have a great time.

 

Y'all sure do complain a lot.

Prices are up across the board people. Glass bottles, labels, any/all shipping, and grain has doubled this year for my spot.

 

Absolutely wish it was.

 

What brewery has ever decreased prices?

 

don’t sleep on Maplewood’s Best. the Shared lager game is strong.

 

see post above about SARA…

 

Fair enough, there is an example of a brewery doing it once. Still not sure they qualifies as something that "usually always happens"

 

for sure. people pretend to act like Biden’s legacy is $7/gallon fuel prices but we all know it’s $65 375s.

 

i don’t have the facts but almost guessing floyds has made this happen… moving from bombers to six packs perhaps. again, i’d have to do my research.

 

i do agree with you though @unlikelyspiderperson its a slippery slope and once consumers have accepted the price increase or the price at all, why would you ever lower it??

 

One of the reasons it probably has shifted towards economics and not the beer may be that folks (myself included) have a harder time enjoying the beers/occasions when you feel like you’re being gouged as a consumer. I tried to support side project heavily during Covid and don’t feel like there was been a return on that towards the consumer now that they have cleared the Covid waters so to say and aggressively amped up/expanded as mention above.

 

DB Generational was $50 right?

Forever Darkness was at Anchorages price point for whatever reason.

 

yeah, i’m kind of just messing around. although, i will say the price increase we’re already in play before covid was a thing. it’s just amped them up.

 

That's a really good point, for whatever reasons bombers were always expensive on a $/oz basis, so I'd bet that any brewery that started as bombers only and and switched to 6 packs probably reduced their per oz price in that transition

 

Revolution absolutely decreased the price on Deep Woods core beers like Deth’s Tar, Cafe Deth, Straight Jacket, and Ryeway when they moved away from the boxed bomber (22 oz) and over to the canned format. This included spending a lot of money to redouble their efforts to dramatically improve their barrel program. And it wasn't an insignificant amount of savings either. Shit, DT and SJ haven't had a price increase since the format changed. Still $24.99 per 4 pack.

 

yes, doesn’t necessarily have to be “used to $25 for a 750mL and now it’s $20” could be just a transition from large format to 4pk or 6pk.

 

love the Rev BA 4pks. i often ask myself why i’m spending 50 on anabasis when i could get 8 cans of SJ.

 

Man, Gin SdF & Gin BdP w/ Spruce tips are some absolutely phenomenal beers, especially during this summer heat. Def need more of both of these!

 

Well count me in for the first run of BBT 4 packs
