dauss Member       I'm not sure what they meant by "many
specialty brews have a heavier taste". I believe it's called
flavor.   2. leedorham      leedorham Member      It was a
misprint. They meant "Many specialty brew drinkers have a
heavier ass."     cavedave likes this.   3. racer2k      racer2k
Member      I believe it was referencing the fact that specialty
beer is real beer vs. BMC which is flavored carbonated water...

the price increases this year. I just had to raise the price on
Shocktop $3.00 a case from September to October because of
increases from A-B      Bud and the rest are up almost a dollar
a case. 30 packs of Bud will be almost $30 in the next few
years. Craft brewers are doing a much better job keeping the
increases under control and I think that is another reason why
they are outpacing the growth of BMC.
