seeing as some beers are now double what they were just a few years ago and still sitting on the shelves everywhere i go,id say they either lower prices back to whats reasonable,or go out of business.

I don’t understand why I keep seeing places bringing in more of this Italian stuff. I don’t know what you guys pay for it in California, but here there aren’t really any of them going for less than 18-20 bucks for a 500-750 ml bottle. They’ve all been sitting there for a year now, and there’s no way they’re going to go anywhere at those prices.

Once tickers stop buying $30 bottles of beer, brewers will stop this stupidity, and things will get back to normal.

It’s kinda funny, because I originally started using Ratebeer to know which beers were the best and to only buy those. Now I’m inclinded to try new things just to get ratings, even when I know they’re not rated very highly. Recently I’m starting to revert back because I think too many breweries and importers are charging too much for lackluster products.
