People love to bitch and moan about the $18+ 4-packs of 16oz cans that have become so common in taprooms with the hazy IPA explosion, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone bitch about the PtE equivalent cost on a per ounce basis of $30.25.

I mean, I buy it whenever I come across it, too, but somehow RRBC is exempt from the conversation.

For the record I’ll gladly pay that ($18) for a four pack from Great Heights and love me some Fruity Pebbles particularly since most pints cost around 8 bucks at breweries/bars…your question made me think of what are the actual ‘whale’ offerings in the U.S. and globally these days that people will pay top dollar for? I’d put Russian River, Treehouse and The Alchemist up there in the U.S.  Globally I guess Cantillon, the Trappist brewery that makes Westy 12 in Belgium? What others am I missing?

Fun fact: did you know there is a Taco Bell in Pacifica, CA that (1) is right on the beach and (2) has their own (surprisingly OK) IPA brewed for them?

Also, just a few miles down south in the same center in Half Moon Bay, you can visit Half Moon Bay Brewing (good beers and food…just don’t order the fish tacos) as well as Hop Dogma. Their Alpha Dankapotamus just won a gold at the US Beer Open Championship for West Coast IPA

mdmost and I were just there as well this weekend and I agree on Bierstadt’s pils being delicious. Plus, I felt so fancy whilst drinking what with the doily and all

Reminds me of when I was learning to scuba in lake Travis in the 90s. Shit ton of that style can on the bottom of the lake.

Passing through, so pretty flexible. Camping near Mt Hood and then spending a night at Nehalem Bay State Park. 

ones on the list so far:

pFriem in Hood River and/or Ferment next door

Solera

Double Mountain as well has some real good pizza in Hood River too. Volcanic Bottle Shop is like a mile away more in town too. Haven't been to the Hood River Common House yet.

Occidental's Fresh Hop Pils I think just came out and one I really like every year. Loyal Legion in Portland is always good too. But I still just enjoy going to the classics like Belmont Station and John's Marketplace.

Texas Brewery/Brewpub #300
 
IMG_1140.thumb.jpeg.793036c7e6513516fe6459fa385c7d81.jpeg
There is no brewpub in Texas that has more money behind it than this place (I dont count Altsadt, they package their beer). Holy shit what a property. Too bad the beer sucks ass

this talyard’s brewing joint in sugar land is in for $10-15M. it’s a production brewery in addition to taproom & restaurant, but good god. i haven’t been yet and i imagine it will do very well, but the payback period on that kind of investment is a looong time.
