The outrage continues! - PBR prices increase 100% over past 6 months

[Lethe]

A few months ago i posted here that i was really pissed over a $1 increase in PBR 6 packs. It was just an overnight thing, bam, it was $1 higher.

Now it has roughly doubled in price! Six months ago it was $3.79 for a 6 pack, now it's $6.79.

WTF? Thats more than your average domestics now! This trend is disturbing, i think all beers are headed for a steep increase in price.

By the way I stopped drinking PBR when it rose a dollar.

Who the hell is going to pay $6.79 for a six pack of PBR?? When I was in high school the 6 pack non-tall PBR was 2.50 at the same grocery store. (10 years ago)

Fuck gold, oil, and costco rice.....stock up on beer. We are heading for hard times, fellow beer drinkers. We are gonna have to start brewing ourselves.

1. $6.79 for six of PBR? That's the same price as good beer!

How bizarre.

[Lethe]

2. yeah!

and this is not just one isolated grocery store, this price is the same for the majority of a giant chain of grocery stores in texas. (my friends in different cities in texas reported to me the same price)

3. It's because the goddamn hipsters buy it.

PBR is the ironic thrifted tshirt of beers.

13. Best beer to drink on a tuesday when you want to have some fun, but not TOO much fun.

6. this is sacrilige!

:(

[Cant trust em]

12. Someone tried to label me as a hipster when I ordered one the other day

I thought it was especially strange because I was there in a sweater and Khaki pants. Not exactly the uniform.

Also it cost two dollars. I'm more of a cheapster.

[Cant trust em]

7. That defeats the purpose of PBR. NT

11. Heineken? Fuck that shit!

[PVnRT]

9. Fucking hipsters

I drink because I actually like it for a cheap American beer. Good thing I bought a cube two weeks ago.

[Auggie]

10. I remember buying it for $1.29

in 1979. What's the equivalent in 2008 dollars?

[Lethe]

14. wait whats the deal with the hipster thing?

is it actually "cool" to drink PBR in some places? Seriously? I thought you guys were just kidding about it.

We mostly drank PBR because it was the cheapest beer in the aisle.

15. You know what this is? The sign of the Apocalypse!

No, really...this is just God's way of telling you to quit drinking shitty beer.
