Looking down on beers based on price.

If they did happen to make 6 packs one day, it would likely only be $9.99 which is in line with almost ALL of their beers. I rarely ever find it hard to pull the trigger on a $9.99 sixer.

 

Stone IRS is $5.99/bomber, which I think is about as good of a deal as can be found from a pure value perspective.

 

I am guilty of this.

 

I personally dont let the cheap price detur me. My thought process is that I would rather spend a small amount to find out if I liked a beer or not then a lot. I found one of my favorite all time porters call Grand because they had it for $2.29 for a 16.9oz. I really try not to let things like price, BA rating or anything effect my thought on the beer.

 

Cheap beer is great. If you hate it, you don't feel like an asshat pouring it down the drain.

 

Idk what your talking about I still have a Giant Eagle around me that has the $7.99 a bottle. They are not flying off the shelf since most people come in for Samuel Adams or Yings.

Ow and I had my first Black boss was $2.59 and I don't know if I would seek it out again. Fruity and roasty yet nothing to be excited about

 

How big was that Samiclaus? I'm pretty sure you got ripped off.

I never blind buy. I look up the reviews on almost every beer I think about buying.

 

There are special edition ones that come in 750 ml bottles. I really hope that's what he bought for that price.

 

That'd be fucked if it wasn't.

 

Those are not bombers. Bombers are 22 oz. Those German beers come in 16.9 oz bottles (except, I think, Celebrator only comes in 11.2 oz bottles).

 

I did not let $2.89CDN deter me from buying bottle of Peche Mortel in Montreal

 

That's why I read 5-10 reviews before I decide to buy a beer. I try to average them out, flavor wise.

 

Guilty of that as well, unless I know something about the beer/brewery before hand.

 

Saint Arnold Endeavour was 8.99 a bomber earlier this year now I can get it for 5.99 all day. And I do. Great fucking beer.

 

Ah, yeah you're right. That's still a great deal though. So many of those German beers you can get for really cheap and most are above average quality.

 

I need to start looking down,or looking away, from high priced beers. I just can't help myself though!

 

I think it has more to do with mass produced vs. small-batch than it does price. Though Zwyiec Porter is a fucking gem. I wish it popped up on shelves more often.

 

Value in craft beer is usually there if you look hard enough, like the Porter you mention - ie. $2.99 for Weihenstephan Vitus 16.9 oz. Not bad for a world class beer.
