    Have beer prices gone up by
    you lately? If so how significant?

    In my state (NJ) I haven't seen a huge
    jump in prices. Maybe just slightly?
    You?

    Seems like locally crafted beers have seen price increases of mere cents in the storefront. Some of the higher end distribution is up as much as a dollar. As far as prices at the breweries themselves, I would say it’s near the same. Supposedly though a worldwide grain shortage is going to be putting a damper on things in the near future. I know, I know. Just what we need; another “crisis”. Cheers.

    Some stuff went up by .25 - .50 cents but most of it has stayed about the same.

    KBS recently dropped from 24ish dollars to 16 Dollars everywhere i have seen it.
    Never was a big fan of it. Espresso KBS is goodm KBS tastes like cheap chocolate syrup ( Hersheys,Kirkland etc)

    I've noticed higher prices in bars but not at retail stores.

    About $1.50 for 12-packs of midrange (price), local Craft brands, and about $1.00 for big national and international brands — typically mass consumption, light lagers.

    I’m hoping that these prices hold through 2022, but with energy costs and delivery fees increasing, you never can tell!

    Genny specialty 12 packs (Grapefruit Kolsch, Oktoberfest, Bock, Dry-Hopped Cream Ale, etc.) have gone up in the past three years from $8.99 to $10.99 or $11.99 depending on the retailer. Still a bargain though. The biggest jump I noticed the other day was Saranac seasonal 12 packs. I feel like it was just a few years ago they were $12.99. Picked one up a couple days ago and it was $17.99. Granted their quality has certainly improved but that used to be my budget beer. Still beats $20 for a 4 pack of hop slurry.

    Much like you in NJ, I haven't notice any huge changes. Just slight 1-2$ increases at some breweries. The bigger craft breweries (below) have pretty much stayed the same, from what I have seen.

    Prima still runs 9-10 a six pack, yards still going for 20$ a 12 pack along with Cape May.

    I think the max I've seen is $2.50 on speciality beers like local BA stouts and a very slight increase on local hazies and the like around DFW. Haven't noticed it at all on craft/import lagers which is what I mainly buy.

    To be honest I don't really know, so many beers in circulation. But why wouldn't they go up? That would be special these times...

    Things have been steadily going up out here for a while. I haven't noticed a steeper trajectory for beer prices this year, but they're going up just like they have every year since 2017'ish. I'm numb to it unless something is particularly egregious.

    Founders Porter has gone up a dollar, KBS has dropped from $22.99/$24.99 to $16.99, Alesmith BB Speedway is available at $7.99/12 oz, that's a huge drop from $35/25oz, Penn's best NA is at $2.99 a sixer. So I say, overall it has dropped a tad and more beers are now accessible than ever before.

    I prefer the 2020 11oz BB Speedway at $14 over the 2020. In my opinion the quality dropped in comparison but at least the 2020 Version is still available at Alesmith.

    Yes, it's gone up slightly higher. However, I feel like much less compared to many of consumer goods. Sure the price has gone up, but sometimes feels like a nice discount after getting gas and groceries.

    Yes. But I have always paid more for the beers I prefer.
