Side Project / Shared (2022)

I wish they’d bundle regular SDF.

Or even make it again.

 

This is one of the reasons I was so happy when I got the LC email last year. My bank account can't take buying these packages anymore. Especially now that I'm able to go drink at the brewery/cellar

 

Since you mentioned drinking at the brewery/cellar…

Am I wrong that draft prices of sours/saisons has risen (perhaps by a sizeable %)? I was pretty surprised to see an 8oz pour of La Ruche was $9. That puts a bottle at $27. I thought the price of La Ruche was more like $25. And, I thought historically draft pours were always cheaper than bottles. I mean, yea - ok - La Ruche didn’t get a Public release this year. But That is just an example. All the draft prices seem high. I could have sworn that I remembered that draft prices used to be a lot more attractive…

 

I agree here. The pricing just seems to keep going up and up and pricing people out. Sunsets was $60 on-site over the weekend when it was what, $30 at the release? It is starting to feel more and more like a money grab.

 

Several reasons why these packages are becoming a “problem” for me. I have so many package beers that I STILL haven’t gone through. Part of that is because I drink a wide wide variety of beverages (beer - several styles, wine and whiskey). Part of the problem is I’m trying to stop drinking randomly when I feel like it. Advanced age and waistline. Part of the problem is it gets very very expensive to buy everything. I’ve tried. That being said, packages that have a variety of styles (and sizes) are the most attractive to me. I kinda wish they’d throw in a canning run (lager / hops / whatevs) to one of these packages. Cheers, all!

 

i think because they labeled it a wheatwine. fine by me, i got a bunch of those at cost and it was delicious!

 

Whether we want to believe it or not, this inflation thing is a bit scary. Labor, materials, etc have risen and will continue to rise. This is a monetary policy comment, not political.

 

Fair, but their prices have been on a steady incline FAR before inflation started to hit hard

 

What was the package? Aside from the obvious forever darkness. I totally forgot about this.

 

Forver Darkness
CdC b8
Grisette x2

$130 + tax = $142

 

just as an FYI, you can purchase 4 medianoches in the up coming weldwerks sale for this price. Included 3 of the reserves which were amazing last batch. Knowing that, this was an easy pass for me.

 

I think I'd rather have this package but I understand why some might prefer 4 stouts
