Why does everyone bitch so much about the price. If it sucks that bad for you, then don't buy the beer. It's not that hard.
Yet I see every single one of yall buying it up. This conversation has been had with all of Parish's bombers and the product is still flying off the shelves. Why change the pricepoint when the demand is there? I will pay $12 or more to Parish all day everyday.


Eh. This isn't a hard and fast rule for all consumers. I personally only bought 3 bottles of Grand Reserve because of the high price. Same with Farmhouse, same will be likely with GiTM. Great beer, but once I get to try a couple three bottles the price tag will keep me from going back for more. If it were cheaper and packaged to be more conducive to everyday drinking I might change my mind.

I think the high price is strictly do to supply and demand.in a competitive market I think the beer would probably be priced at 8-9 bucks a bottle and Parish still make money. What needs to happen is that Great Raft and Tin Roof and Abita need to get their asses In gear and make a worthy competitor. when this happens, the price will come down.

I think this because I see in other places where the competition for your business is high, the price of beers is not nearly so high. Even the small breweries can come in with the competitive price.

I agree with all this.

At the same time, i try to keep price point out of beer conversations, because in the long run its all about the taste and your enjoyment. Unless its something like mikkeller where the cost to enjoyment ratio is too high.

Naw... The fact it's sold out everywhere will keep you from going back for more.
