We've had a new brewery open recently in Nacogdoches and it has me thinking about how breweries price beer pours. I have seen the comments regarding not wanting to undercut the prices at the local bars that serve your beer, and can understand that. But it seems like the price of a beer at some breweries, particularly new ones, is pretty unreasonable.

How much are pours at the breweries you go to? Do you think that is a fair price? Do they offer smaller (half-pint or 4 oz) pours? What do you consider a reasonable price for a pint?

GR is $5 for all pours, but some pours are bigger than others

seems reasonable enough for me

$6-7 for a 20 oz pint; growler fills aren't too much more most places ($12-20 usually). Most breweries do 4-5oz samplers at ~9 for 4.

//edit half pours are generally only $1-2 less and are 14 oz not 20; I'd much prefer 8/16 oz pours and slightly lower price point.

cost plus 50% (profit and overhead)

use a simple cost of labor + supplies

SN in Asheville is pretty cheap. Don't remember exactly but $3-4, and they don't take tips. Uinta was closer to the $5 range.

Drinking beers from a brewery taproom is never more economical than buying packaged beer and drinking at home. But that's not why I drink at taprooms. I mostly do so to try the beers that I can't have at home for one reason or another (taproom only release, brewery doesn't package, etc.).

I do like the thought of the brewery getting the entire cut of that pint, and not getting less money than both the distributor and retailer. For that reason alone, I'll support the brewery.
