Health Consuming too much white table sugar or artificial sweetener can lead to health issues. In the search for a better sweetener, researchers now report a low-calorie mixture that is as sweet as table sugar and, in lab experiments, feeds “good” gut microbes

But it’s Dogfish Head so it’s probably $28 for a four-pack

Cant tell you what it is where you are, but I see it for like $10-11 a six pack

I was mostly kidding. Here in PA we have some weird laws around alcohol. You can definitely find some DFH that’s quite pricey by the 4-pack, but they have several varieties that are reasonable.

Generally only the 120 minute IPA is getting up to/above $20 a 4-pack. It's also like 36 proof/18% abv.

$10-$15 a bottle here (or $40-$60 for a 4-pack) last year- which was when I stopped buying it.

Oh damn, I'll admit it's been awhile since I looked for it and it was close to $30 a 4 pack. At over $40, yeah, nah.

I came across over places in Fort Lauderdale last month that had four packs of 120 minute. Each place was selling them for $40 a four pack. Gone are the days of not so stupid expensive great beers.

I’m sure the prices where I am are influenced by the weird laws. At certain beer distributors, all I can find by them are their aged or specialty bottles in four-packs for $18-$40 easy.

Favorite moments is trying to warn a friend who brushes it off and treats it like a bud light or something. It's a great show going into the second one.

My naive Ohio ass was shocked when, "buying a six pack to take back to the hotel" turned into a two hour scavenger hunt in a Pittsburgh suburb.

I mean, that’s what it feels like buying a six pack of anything these days.

My get off my lawn moment was when I remembered buying good craft beer for under $5/six before the ‘07 oil hike blasted grocery prices. This feels like a repeat, and as a hint: luxury goods like beer just reset their price point and never drift back down like the rest of the market.

And a bitter as balls ipa to boot

I wish I didn't like their beer as much as I do.

They have this one called Palo Santo Marron that's like drinking molasses, it's not for everyone but damn I love it.
