Prices have gone up in the last few months I paid $7.50 for basic, local IPA at one bar 2 weeks ago.....$7.50 for SN Pale Ale too, $8 at another bar for a good local IPA. 6 packs of local IPAs at Whole Foods run $9.99 or so.


I live in the ATL area, higher level craft beers here at bars and what not have been $6.50 - 7.00 for a few years. I recall buying 4 packs of TenFidy in 2009 for $10.49, it's now $15. I bought a 4-pk of Static Chipmunk and 6'er of Three Floyds in South Bend a few weeks ago and it was $31 and not worth it. Bought multiple 4's of Psuedo Sue in Aurora, IL for $10/per recently. Jai Alai here is now $11.99/6, BlueTarp Juicin' which is local and I really like is $11/6, multiple Orpheus are $10.50 to $12.00/6, etc. It's getting ridiculous to me.

Veil and Triple Crossing 4 packs run between $12 and $20. 12oz glasses generally run about $5-7. The other craft breweries in the area are about $5 a pint and their 6ers are touching $10-12. Growlers can be as much as $30 at the growler fill places.

I remember being in college and making my microbrew selection solely based on which one was on sale for $10/twelve pack. Sometimes I miss those simpler days of Magic Hat, Long Trail, and Otter Creek.

Usually $5-6 for a pour from the bar or brewery (ranging from 10 oz to a pint), I think a 6 pack of Envie is around $8.99 at the grocery store near my in-laws, and between $10-15 for bomber sized beers from a store.

I've spent way more than that, but that's probably around what I usually spend. If I see a beer that I want, I'll buy it, I don't typically let price determine if I'll buy a beer.

About $100.00 a week.

Less than my wine habit.

Good thing I don't smoke weed. My fried chicken would cost as much as my beer.

Pints have pretty much settled in around $6 here locally at most Breweries. Some still have them at $5. Stouts or other special offerings between $7-10.

Special release bottles average $20-25 for big stouts. Some have hit the $30 mark.

Seems the price keeps going up and up over the last few years. I've been drinking more whiskey because of it.

I am typically buying 4pks of 16oz cans for $16-20. These same cans are probably $8-10 in a bar, maybe $6-7 draft on happy hour.

Eta typical neipa cans

I rarely buy beer anymore because of pricing and the availability of fresh beer. I paid around $30 for the supplies to make 5 gallons of hoppy beers I like to drink.

bulk hops from YVH, dry yeast from Amazon and grain from Stubby's Texas Brewing

I guess that didn't include the water though since I use RO water
