Did I say this before? Someone must have.
At some point during the heady last few years that brought an explosion of new beer and slick places to drink everyone collectively forgot what each is worth.
Yes, I am bitching about the price of beer. N0, no one is forcing me to go spend that money but, and here’s where we can all be selfish, I don’t want these places to go under either. If they’re charging $8.50/$9.00 or whatever for a pint (or less) then people are going to wake up and start staying away in droves. There’s some combination of overestimation and general opportunism running the show during these heady days and it’s setting the bar at the bars unsustainably high. Some of the new and funky places are going to start collapsing when the public collectively realizes that they don’t have $40 to get a couple of drinks for a themselves and a friend. Too much… —R Bivouac

You’re not just paying the cost of the beer. The establishment have to pay for pesky things like licences, rent, utilities, staff, furnishings, equipment, etc, etc, etc.
Priorities. If the price of an evening out upsets the distribution of beans on your abacus then you should not be spending your beans on beer. Your friends will understand.
It is getting to be a bit much though, don’t you think?
What’s a bit much is you idiots still going out and actually PAYING that.
It’s too fucking expensive from the LC AS IS.
It’s not the beer per se that people are going to those places for – it’s the experience of drinking a luxury beverage amongst exclusive company that they shell out for.
I pay premium prices for properly grown, organic weed, why should I expect to pay welf prices for premium beer? When shit is done in small batches without the aid of quick fermentation chemicals it takes longer to mature, premium ingredients cost more, and the lack of automation usually means more attention to detail as well as more staff, those things just cost more. If you’re happy drinking the North end raccoon piss, then all the power to ya.
They all taste the same after a couple anyway…
You’re just pissing away money…. literally.
You just come in…. (phrasing)
Wet your whistle…. (uh…phrasing)
And chug it all down….
