.. and so many more that could be added here. Add in all the VA, PA and NY pop up breweries and its getting ridiculous. Im not dropping $12 for a sixer I know nothing about. When I do, its fucking meh below average quality.

They need to be sending reps to every craft beer store and give out free samples. And not just what the beer store has in their inventory (its usually dated and stuff that doesnt sell quickly). Covid has made free samples impossible right now but ... the market is just flooded with new beers from new breweries i never heard of.

If I like a beer you have, i will buy it in my regular rotation.

Im sticking with the originals like RAR, Union, Manor Hill, Monument etc.

if beer is this cheap to make and market that any dick and tom can open a brewery .. fuck off with charging us $12 a sixer for a simple pale ale or pils.

Why is every 6 pack $12 and up?
