$/oz breaking point on beer

Three Fidy?

 

$1/oz? jesus that's a high breaking point.

 

$1/oz is $72 for a six-pack. So you've got a pretty darn high breaking point I'd say.

 

For most beer, 0.75/oz. The most I have ever paid was 45 for a bottle of cantillon cuvee de champions, and I struggled the whole way to the register

 

Good question.

I am way low, likely, compared to many here. I have to really swallow hard to ever pay more than $ .25/oz for any everyday drinker. Very, very, very rarely will I pay upwards of $ .50/oz. And at that....only for something as special to me as BCBS. Beyond that...I'm passing. Funny thing....my budget, my disposable, and my wife would let me buy anything I want. I just don't feel the need to over pay when so many great beers are available in my daily range of $ .10-.15/oz.

Good thread. May get folks to really thinking about just how much they DO pay sometimes.

 

I mean... If I just want to drink to get drunk, I probably wouldn't surpass $1.5/12 oz. (ZD)

If I was drinking because it tastes good, no more than $10-20/1oz.

 

That's a tough call. I can't say I've ever been out to a bar and broke my beer selection down the cost per oz. I tend to go with a budget for the experience of the night, and go after new interesting looking beers, and then fall back to the few 2-4 beers that I've been hooked on. Those 2-4 beers change based on seasons, mood and event types. I know that doesn't fully answer your question, but its honestly how I approach my night.

 

not proud, but I paid close to 1.50 once. mikkeller beer geek weasel edition. bought 5 bottles

 

8.33$ per oz, Sink the Bismark

 

This is a weird thread that requires math! I suck at math when sober and I usually have a beer while on this site. I dont know what my breaking point is. Probably 50 cents per ounce but only on a rare occasion. That comes out to a 12 dollar bomber. That it a good stopping point for beer.... Unless supply is severely limited. In which case I may trade one of my appendages for a sip of warm bud light!

 

None, if I want it, I buy/trade for it and I drink it and enjoy.

 

Two years ago I made a promise to myself to never spend more than $20 on a bottle of beer. Thank God Alemsith's Kopi Luwaks were only $17 per bottle.

 

I guess a dollar per ounce is pretty much my max but I rarely spend that much. $12 per bomber is pretty rare for me. I saw Brooklyn Black Ops in the store today for $35 and didn't even consider it.

 

Well said sir, as this is how I do it. When I walk into a bottles shop or bar, I pretty much always have a set amount of what I'm going to spend. Whether a walk out with 100 or 1 beer, I try not to exceed that set amount.

 

Depends a lot on the format, since "one" can be 11 oz or 25 or...

For a repeat buy, it's rare that I spend more than:

$20 for a bomber or 750ml = $0.90/oz
Single small bottles (think DeStruise), rarely more than $8/11oz = $0.72/oz
$22 for a 4-pk (BCBS) = $0.46/oz
$15 for a sixer = $0.21/oz

A lot of this has to do with the type of beer that comes in each format. I wouldn't be paying $70 for a sixer (equivalent to the 750ml price), and I wouldn't want that much beer, anyway.

 

I work hard so that I can enjoy things in life. If I like a beer, I'll buy it. It's a relatively inexpensive luxury.

 

Heck no. I love the stuff, but when it's normally around $22....

 

I rarely buy bombers over 8 or 9 bucks. $15 or so would probably be my limit unless its something really unusual. That's around $.75/oz.

In general I try to stick to 4 or 6 packs due to cost though. A $12 4 pack is still only $.25 per oz. Bombers are the biggest ripoff in the craft beer world IMO.

 

Saw a Black Ops for $21 today , that's a size able difference.
