>the only reason for that would be to create artificial scarcity, which inflates prices even more.
Good job revealing you have absolutely no clue what goes into manufacturing a beer like KBS. I'll give you a hint, time, resources, a fuckload of more time, and wages for people to monitor the beer for a fuckload of time.
That's why it's 20 bucks for a 4 pack, not because "hipster fucksticks" out of the own volition decide to market craft beer at an inflated price. Competition eliminates that possibility. You'll notice if you go to any bottle shops in your region, the prices aren't going to vary more ore less than the prices of retailers in the area. Every region has it's own distributors that have an adjusted price for beer depending on what the brewery sells it for.
Nor do you have even a minimal grasp of how the economy works. I'm a receiver for a supermarket and work closely with these distributor's representatives, and they all say the same thing: They don't dictate wholesale prices, the breweries do, and the businesses that sell their product calculate their retail cost based on a profit margin that has to fall within the price range of retailers in the area by a dollar or two.

Are there any beers from quebec that I can go down the street and buy here in NC? Hmm, guess we found the variable.
