    So I have a friend that came up from Tampa and brought me some Cigar City. He's telling me he paid 15 bucks for a 6 pack down there and got a growler for 30 bucks from the brewery.I have a hard time believing this seeing as I have seen them go for 10 and I have done multiple trades trading zombie dust for jai lai.


    I have a feeling he's trying to make money off me so could someone please tell me the average price per 6 pack and growler at the brewery?

    Cheers!

    He's adding roughly 5 to the sixer and doubling the growler.

    He's trying to make money.

    my girl and i bought 2 32oz growlers 2 weeks ago. i think they were about 15 a piece. this price includes the grower + the beer. so he may not be far off from the truth. im pretty sure the 64oz were twice the price.

    Publix in Clearwater ran a sixer of Jai Alai on sale for $7.99 in March. I bought a case of them for the beach for the week. Only lasted 4 days though...

    Aren't 64oz growlers still illegal in Florida? I thought it was 32oz or 128oz only.

    What's the rationale for that? I mean obviously there isn't any, but it's outrageously stupid.

    Leftover prohibition era law being clung to by lobbyists for big beer:

    http://consumerist.com/2013/04/02/f...rowlers-since-sometimes-a-gallon-is-too-much/

    "Those opponents of the 64-ounce growlers say they’re trying to protect the three-tier system of alcohol distribution the federal government put in place after Prohibition ended. A lobbyist for the Florida Beer Wholesalers Association says the state law, which allows for take-home sales at breweries, wasn’t intended for breweries to sell directly to consumers."

    I believe the growlers themselves cost $4 (32 oz) and $8 (gallon)
    add on the beer cost
    I believe it was $11 (32 oz j.a.) and i think $27 (128 oz) and youc an see where the prices are. No growler costs $30 with beer. The gallon one is over 30 and the quart is WAAAAAY under 30.The six pack is not 15. I believe it was 11 at the brewery, or 8.99 at ABC just a couple miles away on kennedy.

    I have a friend in Mississippi. Somebody used to him Pliny but for $9/bottle. I told him it should be $5/bottle so now he trades with me.

    $15 a sixer for Jai Alai is a bit high for Tampa, the brewery is charging $11 and I've seen prices running anywhere from $9-13 at retail...
