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…

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.

Few years back I was gifted a 6 pack of one of those rare hard to get annual release beers, Pliny The Younger I think, and while it was quite excellent, as someone who appreciates value, I'd much rather have 10X the quantity with 90% of the quality.

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.

“This Six-Pack of California Beer Costs $120. It’s Worth Every Penny.”

Does it cure CANCER?

Do you stay drunk for a month?

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

“This beer features an heirloom grain variety named Haná that was originally used to brew the world’s first Pilsner. Brought back from near extinction by British farmers, we source it from one of the only fields in the world where it can be found today, in Norfolk, England. Our Haná Pilsner is the rhythm section of our brewery and is produced year-round. It represents the core of our house approach and style. Presented as a Pilsner style lager, this heritage barley brings aromatic notes of fresh wholegrain bread, nori, and dried spearmint, along with a long, fresh finish.”

“Phillips’ Screaming Eagle vineyard seems ideal for Cabernet. The soil is virtually a rock pile on a gentle, west-facing slope east of the Napa River. Drainage and exposure are excellent — witness the string of first-class vintages the wine has enjoyed. The property is at a point in the valley where the weather is hot enough during the day to ripen Cabernet to its optimum, yet the grapes are cooled by the afternoon breezes that blow north from San Pablo Bay.

“Through the years, Phillips has removed tons of rocks from her property, making a major contribution to the many rock walls you see while driving along the Silverado Trail in the Oakville area. She’s also presided over a massive replanting, replacing the white varieties with Bordeaux red grapes. One inspiration came from the late André Tchelistcheff—the master vintner urged her to focus on Cabernet and use Clone 7. This expensive undertaking took several years, but now all of her 57 acres are planted with Bordeaux varieties.

“The resulting wines are brimming with deep, plush layers of flavor, echoing currant, cassis, blackberry and black cherry. The tannins are soft, round and polished, yet firm enough to give every indication that the wines will age quite well for 10 to 20 years. Oak plays a minimal role as a flavor accent, lingering in the background.”

“Screaming Eagle is usually 75-85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3-4% Cabernet Franc, and the rest is Merlot.”
