12 pack of Abita costs 16.99. I can get a 30 pack of Natty Light for 20.99. Seems like a no brainer to me

There's a reason why you drink Natty Light.

Two issues. Abita, while not trash is not the premium beer they think they are. The fact they demand premium prices over say things from parish or great raft is laughable.

2 wtf are you doing drinking natty light. Come on man, respect yoself.

Why are you comparing Abita to Natty light? They are very different.

$16.99 for a 12 pack of craft beer is not bad for 2022. I'm not a big fan of most Abita, but most other 6 packs are at least $8-9.

Why pay $21 for Natty Light when you can drink ditch water for free? It's the same stuff.

It’s local and they don’t do anywhere even close to the volume of sales that the national big names do

It’s that whole supply and demand thing

That's not expensive for a 12 pack.

I just want someone local to make a real, widely available pale lager or pilsner in the traditional style. Not a low cal light beer. Not a canebrake tasting pilsner. Not a dry hopped pilsner. Not a strawberry lager. Not an amber. Just a full-bodied malty traditional barley beer. Preferably in cans.

And GB skater aid is not that. It's thin bodied and overhopped. I don't find Paradise Park to have much body either and it's got some weird huell melon fruity hop.

Ingredients are better quality but I agree theyve done a great marketing job. However Blossman guy is personally involved and quite the beer snob so they keep creating new things. I like the recent alpha Gator but their satsuma or lemon should be poured straight in the bogue falaya
