  • I mean you’re probably right but at least for where I live, your numbers are WAY off. Looks like this is four 24 packs, which where I live goes for around $60 on the cheap end. So that’s $240 at a minimum. Assuming they do a bulk discount, maybe an even $200 if it’s cheap beer. On the other extreme, basically any restaurant here charges $9-10 for standard domestic beer, and obviously more for imported or premium. So that’s looking at close to $1,000 for all that. A bundle discount might bring it down to $900 or $850 or something. And then I guess you could go even further and talk about higher end beers which are oftentimes $20 here, or more probably too. So double the previous numbers.

    All that’s to say, even on the low end of $200, that’s still nuts for 5 beers. That would be $40 per beer, which even high end at a specialty restaurant I wouldn’t expect to see that high. Hell, even at a stadium, I think I’ve only seen as high as $25-30 for a single high end beer. I just checked online actually and I could get a 5L keg of Heineken at my local liquor store for $42. And for high end stuff, the most expensive individual beer I could get right now is $34, and that’s for 750ml which is larger than what’s shown in the picture.







  • Seeing all the awards it’s won, I’m honestly surprised it isn’t more popular. I don’t know what their sales numbers are obviously, but no one I’ve mentioned it to has ever heard of it before. I first discovered it at a restaurant that specializes in beer varieties, the server said it doesn’t get picked much but it’s one of, if not the best beer on the menu. I looked it up a bit more after trying it and really liking it, and saw it had a ton of awards and there was a beer magazine that called it the best in the world, so I thought I’d look for it figuring it would be popular, but apparently not. Maybe it’s big in Belgium, I’m not sure, but it’s definitely hard to find where I live.
