I'd agree with this 100%. Cost of the raw materials has basically zero to do with the price of the end product.

Still less fhan pre-prohibition numbers.

How many have closed in the last year? If the market cant support it, why are new breweries opening in sd?
I don't know the answer to those questions. I don't know why tiny houses in San Diego were selling for $600k either, but they did, until the bubble burst

well that is a bit misleading
breweries weren't shipping all across the country then either, everyone just went to their local brewery
every small town could have their own brewery and get support, that is not true these days

I think any industry that grows as rapidly as the craft beer movement is currently growing, that there will always be a bubble. Not sure when that bubble will hit. There are over 2,000 breweries in the US now, wonder the magic number will eventually be.
BUT craft beer is also gaining more and more of the market share every year.

There are something like 7,000 wineries in the USA, no reason craft breweries can't keep succeeding.

What beers are in the market that are similar to the farmhouse ipa and dr hoptagon?
I was making a general statement in regards to their full lineup including pale ales, wheats, and now amber ale.
I bought a few of the FIPAs and will probably buy a Dr. Hoptagon or two. I bought plenty of Grand Reserve and still have a few stashed. I enjoy all of Parish's offerings. I'm just saying that sometimes the pricing steers me in a different direction.
The FIPA for example was good, but not so good I felt like I needed to load up on it. So, since it was $12-$14 per bottle, I did not. If it was closer to $9 or $10 per bottle, I probably would have bought more and enjoyed it relative to its price point.

I sure hope so

How much of that $12 does Parish actually see though after the distributor and retailer get their profit?
I'm not saying $12 for a 750ml isn't high, but nobody has a problem paying that much for a 500ml farmhouse ale from Oklahoma, but they balk at giving that much to a local Louisiana brewery for a kickass black IPA? Would I prefer the price point to be $9? Absolutely. Is that feasible for Parish to cover their costs and make a little profit? Doubt it.

well that's not true. I've never bought any Prairie strictly because of it's prices.
If Parish sells it at $12 and people are lined up to get it, fantastic. If they sell the next one at $15 and people still line up, more power to them.
I tell myself that if these local brewers make more profit, or sell their beers at higher profit margins, that means money for them to expand operations and try new ideas

Well said.
It is what it is, and that "is" just happens to be $12.
I can't wait to take down a few bottles Saturday.

Probably around $4 depending on the distributor... Which is why a lot of the blame on high prices of local beers is on the shoulders of Louisiana's distribution laws. The distributor is probably getting 33% or more of the sales price.
If you visit states where breweries can self distribute the local beers are ridiculously cheap.

I have a problem with it. It's really hard for me to pull the trigger on those sorts of beers. I usually end up buying just one, just like I'll be buying a Dr. Hoptagon.
What I find interesting is how much psychological impact a few dollars has. I mean really, $3 isn't that much in the grand scheme of things, and I'm nowhere near well off. I will go to Avenue and spend $6 on a 10 oz pour of something, but if I go to the store and see a beer for $12, I'm gonna step back go "woah! Let's think about this purchase first." I don't understand how my brain works. Maybe I should have taken psychology classes in college rather than those fruity art classes.
Posted on 10/10/13 at 12:02 pm to BottomlandBrew
Because $3 or $6 adds up quickly when buying a lot of beer.
Posted on 10/10/13 at 12:04 pm to BottomlandBrew
Everyone's brain works this way.
Society is way more willing to buy something at $9.99 rather than $10. And it's only a penny.
Psychological marketing is a bitch

I think you would have a very difficult time purchasing beer online.
Posted on 10/10/13 at 12:28 pm to TigerHam85
I always get to shipping and chicken out.
Posted on 10/10/13 at 12:30 pm to BottomlandBrew
It's still fun to fill up the cart.
