re: Parish now selling $24 4 packs

I'm not hating on Trillium, or at least don't want to. Actually, in reverse, I got in a debate recently at Parish defending Trillium and their negative press taking the side of the business owner. My point simply was that the price per sq ft for the warehouse at Trillium Canton is probably not too far off from the price per sq ft for the warehouse in Broussard. I looked it up and it's about $0.25-0.50/sq ft more for Canton. Could be significant when you get into some of these gigantic sized warehouse spaces. But, Trillium also sells 100% of their beer out of the brewery. It would slow down their expansions a little bit if their majority of their sells were coming at the brewery to distributor price point. Parish does brewery sales 10x a year like someone such as Tree House does daily with their constant 200+ people in line. Just give them their day. And I love Boston. One of my favorite cities. Actually named my son Boston. True story. Only knock on Boston is the ok bar scene. With liquor licenses running a mill plus, it will stay that way until they increase the number issued for the first time since prohibition ending.

I wish I could trade my life story for 90k TD posts

I do understand that point, but as I've already mentioned, Trillium has:

1. Fort Point Commercial Location
2. Seaport Location
3. Canton Location (building a brand new one to replace the current one)
4. Greenway Location
5. Fenway Location

Fenway = not open
Beer garden = not currently open
Farm = not open

Ah so if they're not open, they cost no money to build/operate.

So, even currently with the expanded fort point open, I would be willing to bet that 75-80% of their beer to go sales happens at the canton location. What about that makes it invalid?

Do you not understand how businesses and their costs work?

The fort point location is still owned and operated by Trillium, but the public is not allowed in anymore. They strictly have offices and production there now.

The Seaport location is a few blocks away, has a bar and can/bottle sales on the first floor (along with food), a restaurant on the second floor, and a patio area on the third floor.

You’d lose that bet.

Man, I'm genuinely sorry this became a thing... I think I have an ok idea of how much it costs to build/open/operate food/drink service establishments. I do also think they have a huge, significant advantage with 100% of their sales being sales at their own establishments. Profit margins are significantly higher, obviously. Plus, their doing that type of sales with the same or more production levels as Parish. At that rate, you can do whatever you want wherever you want. Parish would love to have triple the profit margin on the majority of the beer they brew. But, that's just a major advantage of operating in a highly more populated area. It's comparing apples to oranges. My only and original point, that I never thought would have me googling real estate prices in Broussard or Massachusetts, was that for the quality of the beer anticipated inside plus Other Half on the label, I didn't think $6/can was unfair with it being one of the biggest releases in the history of Louisiana. I get a lot of people disagree, and I'm sorry that this has become an out of left field argument. Literally this morning woke up and said dammit, why the eff did I post on TD last night.

He's explaining it for you mofos who continue to shite on Parish and CY, you Urban South fanboys.

The best thing about it is when mixed 4 packs sell aftermarket for $55 each.

I don’t “shite” on Parish. It’s a free market, and I just laugh at the mad run on “special releases”, and at the same time, very well see why they do it. Free market and they sell out in minutes.

I also can count on one hand the number of times I’ve bought Urban South beer, and probably have a couple fingers left over.
