Domestic beer is $10 a six pack now.
That is a direct indication of inflation.
A twelve pack runs $18+.
The idiots in CA can spend whatever they want on special brews.
Fools are easily parted from their money…
in california?
would that compute to $1.50 for the beer + $18.50 for gavin’s taxes?
I buy what I can afford.
I remember in college, underaged, we used to get Hi Brau for a $1.69 a six-pack. We said the name translated to Rat Piss.
Haha
Beer snobs, prancing around with their dainty taste buds stuck up in the air.
I can get a case of Mic Ultra for $25 at the class six on base, no tax, that’s more my speed.
Around 50 years back, when I was an underaged beer drinker, Bohemia beer was 39 cents a quart, or 89 cents a six-pack. It was Blitz Weinhard’s economy brand, if you can believe there was such a thing.
Dang, we missed out on Bohemia beer!
Things are worth what a buyer is willing to pay for them
1. If it’s expensive, it must be good.
2. If it’s good, it must be expensive.
Repeat 1 and 2 until you pass out.
“It’s worth every penny”
I’ve got a $100 bill that says you’re wrong.
During the Billy Beer years several of us would make Billy Beer bets. The winner could chose the beer of his choice but the loser had to drink His loss in Billy Beers.
Two of us were sent to an IBM school in Washington DC during the period. We stopped at a local libation store on the way back to the hotel. On the cooler that had the beer in it was a large sign that said “Do not break 6-packs!”. There was a broken 6-pack of Billy Beer, one missing, sitting near the front. We asked the owner about that and he replied with a question,”Have you ever tried to sell a 6-pack of that stuff?”. True story!.
Billy Beer was franchised out to different local brewery’s around the country and they all must have used the same lousy recipe. It really was bad!
When Billy Beer was taken out of production, we had a 6-pack waiting to be drank over a lost bet (I won). We decided to not break the 6-pack as it might become collectible as it did. I claimed it because I won the bet but the loser claimed it because he purchased the beer. We had an ongoing argument about this over several years until I was transferred to another location. As far as I know the beer is still in his family.
Indeed.

“This Six-Pack of California Beer Costs $120. It’s Worth Every Penny.”
Does it cure CANCER?
Do you stay drunk for a month?
There’s a legend that someone sent a can of Billy Beer to the FDA for testing. The message that came back was “we regret to inform you your horse has diabetes.”
Going to have to order some thanks to Newson he caused
Phillips 66 to close LA refinery due to state’s ‘hostility’ toward oil and gas.
Gas prices going up
