Favorite Sixpoint Brew

Have you broke it down on a price per ounce? That is the only thing that ultimately matters, as you should know.

Also, the $15 is NYC only. Only the strong survive here. ;-)

 

whats the price per ounce of your cream ale?

 

We don't make a cream ale.

 

if you had to pick a category, what do you consider sweet action?

 

Sixpoint invented that style. It created that category.

 

Whats the price per ounce of the 5.2% 34ibu, Part pale ale, part wheat, part cream ale?

 

resin - 4pack 12oz cans - double ipa, $10.99
brownstone - 4pack 16oz cans - brown ale - $10.99
sweet action - 4pk 16oz cans - hoppy cream ale - $10.99
Bengali tiger - 4pk 16oz cans - ipa - $10.99
crisp pilsner - 4pk 16oz cans - pilsner -$10.99
righteous ale - 4pk 16oz cans - rye beer - $10.99

don't come in here and start talking price per ounce man

 

That is entry level arithmetic. Might require some long division though. ;-)

 

since you are so active in this thread, why don't you do me the favor of doing the math for me? how does it compare to your other styles? whats the business logic in it?

 

Call me crazy but I don't think any of them are out of line. I am quick to say something is overpriced but they are all reasonable to me. I'd prefer to see The Crisp a touch lower but I am a pilsner lover and would pay it.

 

OK, with all of this crazy arithmetic, I'm going to say it simply: I like paying <$10. I know I am getting less than 6 beers, and the price per ounce is about a penny higher, but I am paying less in the moment. Beer typically isnt a long term investment. When I go to the store with $20 and have a choice, I'd rather get what still allows me to afford a taco bell grande meal later on....

 

Righteous Ale and Bengali Tiger

 

Exactly, there is a huge discrepancy in price at retail but that is not due to our actions - it is the actions of the retailer. The MSRP for NJ is $8.99-$9.99 depending on the flavor. Certain one-offs like Hi-Res should be $11.99

They should routinely be $9.99 or less with the exception being NYC, where markups tend to be much higher.

 

Way too malty.. Had hi-res, which smelled like malt liquor and tasted similar

 

what is your point? You listed the prices of their beer and you can clearly see that the Resin costs more, seeing as its only 12 ounce cans and not 16 ounce cans. I fail to see the problem with that. Almost every single brewery offers beer in difference price ranges, based on cost, availability, etc.

So your issue is that you feel stiffed somehow because Sixpoint is trying to "pull a fast one" on us by selling the Resin in 12 ounce cans at the same price as other 16 ounce cans?

Have you also taken up that point with Victory who sells some beer in 4 packs and some in 6 packs for the same prices?

 

no, I was pointing out the majority is all priced the same per ounce. The ipa is priced the same as the cream ale, priced the same as the pilsner.

 

HiRes would be it, dont care for what else I've had from them.

 

love me some sweet action

 

Are you implying that the Sweet Action or Crisp should be priced lower than the Righteous Ale, Bengali Tiger, Brownstone?

 

That's easy HI RES, I could write a book on how it tastes. Just bought it last night.
