.but again, I think the business model of most is at a lower price point for more regualr IPAs, Stouts, etc.

what i am seeing here is that not only are the specialty beers becoming just stupid priced but the regular line up is inching up month after month. Take Sculpin for example, its a very good beer but it is priced at $14-16 a sixer here for a 7% beer. Dales, the colorado staple, is now normally priced at $10 a sixer and is hard to find fresh here( i think due to over saturation of the market). Ten Fidy is $15 a 4 pack at most places, I remember a few years ago it being $10.50, that was the schtick. And even at that price it was high dollar purchase in the market. At what price does Joe six pack(who we all agree is the life blood of breweries) say frick it, I am drinking high life because Dales isn't worth x amount of the price? I think we are approaching that price.
