I think I drank 8 beers and couldn't walk. Most beers are overrated, except for Canadian. I've spent plenty of time in Canada on business and it's the bee's knees.

Basically netting you half a batch of a standard homebrew production (full is 5gallons). For 10.5% ABV you'd probably need roughly $30 worth of raw material to get the brew done. $20 if you are buying in bulk. If you got this I would assume you would want to rack it to a half keg and then carb it up unless you have some big party of beer nerds. If you go to that expense then purging your keg with something like argon would not be the worst idea ever. However just a tiny bit of googling finds 750ml of this beer at less than 10 bucks. Nice try siegels. That roughly works out to a $72 6-pack.

Water, sugar, barley, malt and hops costs how much?
