$21 is insane, but I guess if Julios is charging $17 it does seem inline with the increased costs a smaller footprint shop in a higher cost city would have.

To me - MSRP means the brewer, distributor, and storeowner should all make a decent profit at that price, without the customer feeling like they are getting ripped off. I thought the beer was great, but at 50% and above mark-up, I felt I got ripped off, especially with the MRSP of $14.

 

Cost to MA retailers was higher than this from the distributor. It would be illegal for us to price it at 13.99

 

That explains it - so the brewery sets MSRP, distributor ignores, and prices it to retailers at MSRP +X, thus causing retailer to price at MSRP +X+Y.

 

It's probably a mistake, but yeah, it's against ABCC 204 CMR 2.00: "(1) No holder of a license issued under M.G.L. c. 138, s. 15 [off-premise sales] shall sell or offer to sell any alcoholic beverages at a price less than invoiced cost. Cost is defined as net cost appearing on the invoice for said alcoholic beverage."

 

I bought a 4 pack at Hunger Mountain in Montpelier for $18

 

MSRP may vary depending on which OC online rep you believe too?

 

$15/4pk in VT

 

Welcone to the three tier system in massachusetts!

 

One of the worst liquor laws in MA (right behind the anti- happy hour law) that conspires to screw consumers & guarantee profits to distros & retailers. Directly relates to why we have some of the highest beer prices in the country.

 

I will second that

 

I thought I paid $17 there but same neighborhood
