If you like the beer buy it, if not great, buy something else, but please get off the soap box about it being "overpriced" by a dollar.

This.

I never understand the mentality that paying $2 more a 6-pack or $1 more a beer could turn someone off that beer.

If you go out to a restaurant, do you immediately look for the cheapest thing on the menu and go with that? Do you say to yourself, "sure i'm hungry, and i took the time to come to this restaurant to eat, but i'm not paying over $20 for my meal, so i'll just take the burger or the salad."

People are more than willing to pay more to eat at a nice restaurant, especially if it's local. But ask them to pay more for a nicer local beer, and they get pissy.

No, but if I go into a restaurant and their plain cheese burger is $20. I may do a double take and order something else.

I don't think $10 is a lot for a six pack if you want six beers. It's the equivalent of a $3.75 bomber/750 and we know people would lose their minds if they could get a bomber of canebrake that cheap.

Oh, and i know this is a canebrake thread but....

I went to Sammy's saturday and got some crawfish. Decided to get a glass of Tin Roof Pale Ale. I said it before, and i'm more convinced now. It's a pretty good beer. I think they've been tinkering with the recipe some, because it does not resemble the crap they released. I'm having a crawfish boil in a couple weeks and i may pick up a sixer of this to drink with my crawfish.

I just hope they "tinker" with their other recipes and make their beer better. I'd love to be able to talk about Tin Roof, the way we do Parish or NOLA. But i know that's probably a few years away.
