Singlecut Beersmiths, Astoria, NY

does this really exist or are you just using a new term to describe yuppies? do you mean tech bros or finance d-bags?

 

Quite widespread, I’m guilty of it sometimes

 

"new money" in the beer world means people new to beer who are willing to pay exorbitant prices for hype beer. the $22 DDHDIPA haze or the $18 adjunct candy bar stout collab bottles are examples of this.

 

I went to SingleCut yesterday with some friends who were visiting and the DDH Bon Bon 2x TNT on tap was on point

 

I see, that makes more sense to me than previous explanations. So basically anyone who buys beer from SingleCut or Other Half?

 

Or Barrier. Actually probably Barrier most of all

 

I only buy the $14 or $16 4packs from them. They also have a $4 off sale each 4pack going on now. Paying more than that for beer is irresponsible in my opinion but that's just me. You have to admit there are a few NYC area breweries who price a bit higher than others. I bought some IPAs for a gift from a good source in Astoria and there was some Finback 4pack I never heard of for 20.99 before tax and deposit. Passed on that out of principle. Threes and LIC were 17.99

 

That phrase existed long before craft beer or tech bros even existed man.

 

Barrier 4-packs top out at like $18, what are you talking about?

 

he was just trolling me b/c he knows I like Barrier out of all NYC area breweries. I think they do have a few that are priced out of hand but many are in the $14-16 range. Are there other area breweries that put out cans of traditional kolsch, cali common, brown ales in addition to IPAs? I just wish they were priced more like $10-12.

 

Haha, I see what you did.
Ah, @ecpho beat me to the punch.

 

Ohhhhh haha. Well, ignore me then.

 

I'm pretty sure there's a 95%+ correlation between people who use the term 'new money' and 18-30yo white guys who's lives are based on riding the coat tails of their parents.

 

The concept of 'nouveau riche' dates back to antiquity, so, no.

 

Guys guys - I feel like we’re talking over each other

In life:

New money / nouveau riche - fairly obnoxious term (although occasionally warranted) for someone who’s recently acquired wealth and spends tastelessly. Often used by “old money” (which is not a perjorative but should be cos those f’ers didn’t even have to go through the effort of buying a lottery ticket, let alone working for it)

In beer:

New money - I don’t know if it was “invented” by DDB or popularized by him, but insulting term for a relatively new beer drinker who is only interested in hazy ipas / pastry stouts etc. I.e. not interested in ever trying a Palatine or a Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout or an Orval etc
