Yes, You Can Afford To Drink The Best Beer In The World

You can if you can get it!

 

I can get zombie dust for 13 bucks for a six pack near me. You’ll never hear me complain about that.

Pretty good choices in the article

 

They forgot Bud Light.

 

I can get Pilsner Urquell for $5.99 for a 4 pack of tallboys. Otherwise, the rest of those were for singles, so not really that affordable, unless you only drink a few beers a week. I drink Pilsner Urquell out of that list regularly.

 

I see your point. Luckily I don't drink wine or hard liquor at all, ony about 7 to 10 beers a week. Usually never more than 2 in one day. Cheers!

 

What's 'better' than Orval? Maybe a homebrewed version of Orval:

They should have included that one in the article, if you ask me.

 

Absolutely, especially since they raised their distribution game and became more widely available. I’ve been going nuts on 3Fs beer ever since it came to VA

 

Neither is the head brewer at Orval:

It is true. Although haven't had Pliny, we are very fortunate to have access to most of these beers at a decent price. The best is debatable, but hard-pressed to find most beyond $10. Can't usually find a wine to do it better or cheaper.

 

The thing is that with the pricey spirits and wines you're paying through your nose for time, i.e. aging in warehouses or cellars. Time doesn't benefit many beers, especially if it's excessive time. Save your money and drink beer from the 'now' generation.

 

I agree with that statement. The term "excessive" can be subjective but a beer style that takes a long time (i.e., several years) is lambic and these beers can be quite pricey. For example a bottle (750 ml) of Cantillon Fou' Foune will be typically priced > $30, which is too expensive for me to buy it. Still, compared to a top shelf wine this is quite cheap.

Cheers!

 

That's a solid list, although it could have been written today or 10 years ago.

 

Exactly!
