My local beershop has like two basketball courts floorspace, stocking 800-1000 different local beers. The next closest place (10min drive) is like two and a half basketball courts shop floorspace, with a warehouse twice as big out back. They actually have about the same number of different beers, but around 1/4 don't overlap with the first place's range.
I pay €1.50 - €2.20 for single bottles of most of these. Supermarket prices are about the same.

This is why I brew. Even the cheap shit is $2 or $3/bottle. I have trouble with those ultra light German styles but the American styles that actually taste good are pretty easy. If I just want to get fucked it's under $20 for a basic pale ale. Even getting fancy with a big beer it's still under $50/5 gallons.

Maybe you're underage. Maybe you're a poor cheapskate. Maybe you're adverse to change. Maybe your tastebuds plain suck. Maybe it's a combination of all that.

I'm sorry that you can't appreciate the vast spectrum of beer flavors available to you during this absolute renaissance of beer making in America. To be fair, it is a bubble and there are a lot of breweries that plain don't know what the fuck they're doing and produce bad shit. And there are big breweries that are trying to capitalize on the craft boom but still put out inferior products. But somewhere in the middle of all this there is amazing beer. I guarantee there's a style and a brewery out there that does it all perfectly to suit your tastes.

the thing about craft beer is that you can go to a ubrew and get for 50% less than it can legally be sold anywhere else (where i live at least)

Where is that? That's less than in America for the good stuff as far as I know, but I don't buy sankes so that might be what you're talking about. Even if it were that cheap I'd probably still brew. I like the flexibility to get exactly what I want.

>under 50/5gallons for big beers

If by that you mean something like a 12% Imperial Stout, it's much less than that. The malts are cheap, generally $2.50 or less/lb. It's the hops and liquid yeast that are expensive. So yeah, a big IPA will be pricey, but an Imperial which uses much less hops, not so much.

not sure what ubrew is, is that some sort of homebrewing club? yeah homebrewing is cheaper but brewing decent beer is still kinda expensive, especially when you get into specialty hops and malts and adjuncts and barrel aging and...

craft beer is essentially just well made beer, like if you made it at home and knew what you were doing. you can't compare that to the trash macro corn adjunct lagers that taste like skunked watered down corn piss

Wow. Do Americans really have to pay so much for beer? Hitachino Nest is pretty cheap here, you can buy it in regular grocery stores and is often included in deals such as 4 bottles for £6

American here. Heineken is a $1-$2/bottle beer, $3-5 at a restaurant. Homebrew is about $0.25/bottle.

I pity you all out of the country. Went to Aruba once and had to pay $5 for a 'fun-sized' bottle. Worst place to be an alky.

Does the Walmart website show different stock to what is in store? Because on the page for Heineken it shows the bottles to be at 200ml as well. They do have slightly bigger cans at 350ml though.

This is a hipster for /ck/

A hipster is someone that compulsively follows the newest trends or fashions, and outright refuses to do anything "mainstream".
Drinking or eating what you like to eat is not hipster per se, as long as you're doing it because you like it and not because the beer youre drinking is the hottest new shit this week.

The $ symbol first occurs in the 1770s, in manuscript documents of English-Americans who had business dealings with Spanish-Americans, and it starts to appear in print after 1800.
