Wow, 10 bucks. Beer was 5 bucks a case 50 years ago in 1967. It sure hasn't kept up with inflation. I'm sure it tastes like donkey piss, but what the heck. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Look up 'metaphor' in the dictionary, learn something. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I did just learn something. I think I understand why you’re so in love with Donald. It appears you might have some common interests. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Based on beer shipment data and U.S. Census population statistics, U.S. consumers 21 years and older consumed 26.5 gallons of beer and cider per person (283 twelve ounce cans) during 2018. There are 20 breweries that make 83% of all beer consumed. AB makes 40.8% and Miller makes 23.5%.
Inflation adjusted $5 in 1967 is about $38 today. So most beer costs less than that. MICHELOB ULTRA PURE GOLD is the most expensive non-craft domestic beer in the distributor and it is $35 a case. ABV is only 4.30% SAM ADAM 76 is considered a craft beer, and is $36.29 a case |
