Thanks for the well tought out response hadacol.
Just like chain restaurants and national real estate investments, etc, sometimes we need the deep pocket guys to make things run.

Hadacol, thanks! That was very educational. It confirmed what a lot of us thought. Now I feel really insignificant. Perhaps this is why I don't attend any more.

I very much enjoyed being able to purchase the Abita yesterday. Was very suprised to see the Jockamo IPA on the list, so I had three of them to start with.

I too partook of many many Abitas yesterday. Between the music and the wonderful weather.......the only thing that would have been better was a prime rib sandwich!!!:mad:

Excellent and informative post by Hadacol. I don't have much to add, other than it is pretty accurate to the best of my knowledge. It will make the swill taste even worse this weekend. But then again, I don't drink very much out there anymore (as opposed to most of my behavoir out there over the past 28 years, which included many drunken days).

Would anyone care to make a guess as to what Miller sells the beer to the jazzfest people for?

I heard yesterday that I group gets to keep $4.85 for every $96 case that we sell. That seems like a pretty small profit for us so I was curious as to who is making the big bucks off of the rip off of selling beer for $4 per can.
