Exactly. It isn't like Canebrake is some revolutionary beer that deserves a price hike on quality alone. It is hiked up because supply is low. That is fine, but I won't be running all over town to find it.

Well i'm not arguing that it is the be all end all of beer. I enjoy canebrake. I think it is a fine beer, and when it first came out, i couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Now that it is more readily available, i do not actively seek out canebrake. I will probably pick up a 6 pack, if i make room in my fridge for more beer, but i'm not driving all over town for some. It is a solid very good beer, but i have many other available favorites that i will go for before canebrake, mainly due to style. It's spring and i'm in my hops mode now.

But that being said, i find it rather ridiculous that in the 5 pages of this thread, cost of a 6-pack has occupied 90% of the posts. It's a great beer and $10 for a 6 pack does not seem unreasonable for me, especially due to demand.

Now maybe for people like myself, and you and other craft enthusiasts, we are happy that it's in bottles now in BR, but we aren't as giddy as some of the beginner craft beer drinkers and some of the local beer drinkers. The style is not all that exciting, but they made a very good wheat beer with that style. But i'll gladly buy a 6pack if A) i have room in the fridge and B) i see it in the store to support a great local craft brewery, and if it means more availability of their upcoming brews. Especially that Farmhouse IPA and Envie
