After two hard earned AFD's I went and grabbed a 4 pack of Mosaics last night, they are dead set freaking delicious.

Are they the big tins? Once went to try one at my local and they wanted $20 for 1!

Anything that starts with 'Pirate Life' is expensive.

The Mosaic comes in 335ml cans, I don't think they do the 500ml.

They can be $20 for one 500ml can, but at 8% you get a tickle from the one can but agreed, anything Pirate Life is, in reality, over priced. Still nice, but over priced in the main.

You usually pay more for big cans.

The greater the % the greater the excise for brewers which means they have to pass on the cost or reduce their profit margin. Hence why you don't see the big players have large % beers and they even now focusing on mid strengths

Precisely.

That said, $20 is still a rip off!

Yes, it is and no, it isn't.

A nice hearty 500ml ale can is not much different to a mid priced bottle of wine. The can you drink in one night, you might not drink the bottle, but you might pair it with food to make the most of it. I don't do it often but occasionally I'll spend $15+ on a can and enjoy it more than I would 4 or 5 beers.

Especially when Dan's have decent 6 packs on special for $12-$15.


I'm somewhat of a bogan though.

I guess it’s all about your tastes as well.
We do blind beer tastings occasionally with all sorts of beers and prices.

I’ve had some beers in that price range you’re talking about and haven’t really enjoyed them.

Though I do prefer a draught or lager over Ale’s.

Admittedly I haven't and wont try many of them, but it's a good ploy to get people to "try" something different, worst case scenario they sit in the fridge til you run out of piss, have a cheapskate visitor or the kids pinch them.

I did see Pirate Life Acai and Passionfruit Sour cans @ 4 for $11.

I grew up on Fosters, it was easier to work out going quarters, them and long necks were the last slabs to stay at $20.

Not a Stella fan? Probz my favourite, and Peroni's.

The Black Sabbath is for around a fire in winter, the Rat Rod Hazy IPA for when you go back inside after the fire and the Quick Change XPA is for when you're awake.
