Tonights beer is Sagres. Super Bock and Sagres are the most popular beers here.  Most beers here are sold as 'minis' which are 25cl about 8.45 ounces. It's actually hard to find full size beers here (33cl). As inquirng mimes wanted to know why, I asked. Was told it's because most fridges sold here are small and don't have the shelf height for full sized bottles. Sure enough my new LG fridge is tall and skinny and you can't adjust the shelves apart enough to stand up a normal sized bottle. They do sell "American' size fridges here but they are very expensive and you need the space to put it as most kitchens are small by US standards. There is one store in this village that sells imported beers such as Lowenbrau but even they are minis. They have Buttwiper and Shitz but only in cans not that I would buy them anyways.  The Sagres tastes different than any of the several Super Bock variants (lager, ale, dark etc) but it's not better. It's also different that beer here is sold by the bottle and you can just take one or 2 bottles from a six at a store. The prices listed are for a bottle on the shelves.

Seems like it's mostly beer and wine here. One of the main exports here is wine and it's dirt cheap here. There are several liquors made here mostly brandy flavored with passion fruit or pineapple. Pineapple is a main export here also.

So file this one under "how much would you pay for a beer"?

This picture is from the past few days.   I don't know who they are, but I know precisely where they are and what they are drinking.  The 3 yellow glasses contain a beer called "Ann", which was brewed in 2017 at Hill Farmstead Brewing in Northern VT.    It started life as Anna (a honey farmstead ale)...but dropped the "a" when it was selected as "special".

The description of the beer by Hill is:

Ann is a wine barrel fermented and aged version of Anna (1902-1993), our grandfather’s sister as well as the name of our honey Farmstead® ale. In honor of Anna, her namesake beer is the result of patiently waiting and then selecting our very best wine barrels of Anna – barrels that have been aged and conditioned for between 1 and 3 years. After being placed in wine barrels, the evolution of Anna into Ann is an indeterminate and metamorphic occurrence. Only a single digit percentage of all wine barrel-aged Anna becomes what is unmistakably identifiable as Ann. The beer, the barrel, and some yet unknown, unquantifiable condition seems to dictate its path and appearance. It is identified and selected only through the emotional response that it induces during barrel tasting. 
So how much would you spend?

Those 15cl pours (just over 5 ozs) cost $30 each.  If you doubt that...zoom in on the document and look at Ann.  Limit 1 pour per day.

The 750ml bottles are $95 each (limit one for the year).  

I love their beer and wouldn't argue with anyone who says Shaun Hill is the best brewer on the planet (he's won that title a bunch of times... here's the first that popped up)...but $95?  For reference, Anna is awesome and $12/bottle. 

What's the most you would pay for a beer?

Yesterday I was talking to a friend of mine who is a beer buyer for the local Whole Foods.  It turns out Stone Brewing seems to have expanded its presence too quickly into other markets (Berlin, Shanghai?) and found themselves over $450M in the red, as well as engaging in a few large, costly lawsuits.  Apparently being bought out was their best option.

Yeah I can't find it now but I was reading something about Koch's constant bleating about other breweries being sellouts; that article was as amused about it as yours.

I see a $56million settlementin the Molson/Coors lawsuit over their rebranding Keystone Light as "(key)STONE"

Did you know New Belgium got bought up by Kirin? They were employee owned; wonder how that sorts out. And Stone just sold to Sapporo. Doesn't matter as long as it's good, I guess. These buyouts do bring beer to the hinterlands so I guess I shouldn't gripe...

any link, really, and when I replied to the post, dragging to select the text in the Visual editor instead dragged that image that I posted. So it was embedded and covering everything, but invisible.

If I had any idea what I did...I probably could make a nice living selling it.  Oh well.

Didn't know that about either of them.  I guess as long as they don't mess with the recipes it's ultimately better to have wider distribution and availability.  Wicked Weed - also from Asheville - was acquired by Anheuser Busch, but it's still made the same way in the same brewery.  Very good beers though pricier than most others.
This session ale that they make is usually on sale for a week or two a month though - tasty stuff:
