In San Diego I paid $16.99 for a pint at the Padres game and $17 per pint at the Final Four in Houston this past year. My takeaway is brew your own at home, heavily pre-game with home brew before going to the sporting event, and maybe get one at the game. The intangible is the joy you get from making your own beer plus it can be a social interaction if you find a friend or family member who also likes to brew.

ya, sports venues take the ridiculously high prices and "super-size them" into a whole new category. I remember over 10 years ago buying a 12 oz beer for $10 at the Army/Navy football game. At least it was a good beer ...... Thanks for the comment. -DT

Cool channel! Tucson AZ - depending on the beer, ABV and place - 7-10 dollars. TBH, it may be higher now because since I started home brewing I haven't bought a pint out in many months since I now know the actual cost lol. Buying in bulk saves me a ton as well, bulk hops, bulk grain bags and harvesting yeast. I've made a really good Golden Ale for about 0.17 a pint just based on bulk price ingredients with harvested yeast. Most expensive is a Belgian Tripel I just brewed for 0.92 a pint (ingredients only) - 2lb of Belgian Candi was the majority. I have a spreadsheet I use to track costs for all beers I've brewed over the last 2 years of home brewing. With all my equipment (simple stove-top multi-kettle system and bucket/pressure fermenters), ingredients and supplies, I'm at an average $1.44 a pint with a 5 to 7 gallon system and it goes down each batch. Having an RO water system helps a ton as well with cost of bottled / distilled water. This includes a few mistake batches that were tossed as well. Cheers!

Awesome! Thanks for watching and your comment. Ya, since I posted this prices around here have even moved higher. We just did a brewery tour through central coastal Oregon and in the remote areas we saw $7 quite often. The sad part about is that $7 seems pretty good these days! I love the spread sheet. I too tend to track things closely. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Happy New Year! -DT

Yes, the incremental cost can be relatively cheap (when you give yourself no value for your time and effort). But I've got a bells and whistles rig, and when you amortize in the fixed costs (even being generous with your productivity) the resulting all-in cost is ... well, let's just call it a hobby (and the most expensive pints you will ever have)!!! But you have to add in the fun factor, which is huge. Reminds me of the book about home gardening called "The $64 Tomato".

Great message and I do agree. The fun factor, hobby aspects, "tinkering" (as my wife calls it) all makes it worthwhile! It is sort of like getting a free dog though. Once you pay for all the needed supplies and vet bills, it is far from free ...... Thanks for watching and your comment. -DT

Fort Myers, SW Florida; no bargains here, 6-8$ a pint!! On a side note, I have difficulty getting fresh canned beer. When I buy canned/bottled beer it takes me 30+ minutes to pick out a selection and sometimes I come home empty-handed! I also have been disappointed in some of our local breweries not being up to par with what I am used to. Our SW Florida inexpensive living is going away! Steve F.

Pretty crazy and frustrating for sure. I am a FL boy through and through having spent many great years in Melbourne. That was great livin' and I miss it quite a bit from time to time.

I know you can easily beat that homebrew cost if you order grain by the 55lb bag, hops by the lb, and culture your yeast. Equipment costs, as you say, are another issue, but generally a one time cost.

100% agree!! I didn't want to tip the scales too much. I buy hops directly from the farm, manage my yeast, and bulk purchase chemicals and other incidentals. The best part about it is, that after all of the years brewing, I "think" I am close to figuring it out. My beer is always good (I always strive to make it better!). You might get a kick out of this one regarding yeast: kzitem.info/news/bejne/pZ-Vr3ZsjniGq20 I appreciate you watching the video and sending my your comment. All the best. -DT

I'm in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Nothing here under $7.00 when going out. I about crapped when one of my favorite Breweries charged $19.00 for a 48 oz pitcher. Every now and then you can find 12 packs at $17 of good beers. But very seldom

Thanks Curt. It is interesting in that most folks would assume that you could find a beer in IA for $5 bucks or so. I guess that there is no escaping it ...... I hope all is well. -DT

Used to be beer was the "cheap" option at the bar compared to a glass of wine or cocktail, these days not uncommon to see Rob's craft IPA pints going for $8-10 here in SD! Same in Seattle or Austin. Overall when I go out in SD I will anticipate a pint of craft beer to go for $7-9 in general. As someone else mentioned, if you're counting sporting events or concerts, then you're looking at a whole new level of overpriced.

I paid 9.00 for a 12 oz pour in while in DC the other day for business. Now I'm going to tell my wife that every homebrew I drink at home is 8 dollars in the kitty to spend on more brew equipment. 😂

Perfect!! That is the kind of spin that you can only learn in DC!!! You could also let her know that you might "actually be making money" by brewing your own; hence, more equipment, more profit! Thanks for watching and your input. All the best. -DT
