    Yeah, and now it's a "Craft beer" (by the Brewers Association's standard), since AB sold it to Tilray Brands.

    Label lists Atlanta (Sweetwater) but might be brewed at any of their other breweries in Colorado, Washington, Oregon and New York.

    My local bottle shop also has the Shock Top Mango and Blueberry variants.

    The price of Allagash White in my area is stupid expensive now. A four pack cans used to be $9.99, now it's $14.99. Six packs used to be 9.99, now $16.99, which I cant justify when I can get 12 packs of Hoegaarden for $1 more.

    Allagash 12 pack of cans are 19.99 here and thats still a good deal I think. Im across the border from you and I would think CT and RI have similar pricing. A 6 pack of bottles is 14.99 but I guess it depends on the store and town, right, but thats the last price I saw.

    $14.99 six pack for Allagash white is still pretty outrageous, but the $19.99 12 pack is a good deal all things considered.

    Yeah, Tilray's really all in on the Shock Top brand. They've got a Lemonade Shandy ("with Lemonade Flavor" - go figure) and a line of Hard Teas branded "LIIT" - "Long Island Ice Tea", which they acquired when they bought Blue Point from AB at the same time.

    Get out?
    Definitely not a craft beer in my book, but if it fools some people, well then....

    Agreed. When the bar doesn't have a good belgian white on tap, I settle for an imperial stout
